Hydrogen in Functional Materials
Scope
Hydrogen in materials exhibits a wide range of concentration, high mobility, quantum nature, and superior chemical reactivity. All these features of hydrogen originate from its bonding and size flexibilities. The scope of this symposium is to deepen and exchange the cutting-edge materials science relating to hydrogen (that is, “Element Strategy on Hydrogen” and “Hydrogenomics”) as a guideline to fully utilize hydrogen for developing many kinds of functional materials.
