Visioning Workshop Description
The Energy Sciences Visioning Workshop will address critical research directions that crosscut renewable energy disciplines. Moreover, this workshop seeks to determine how the high flux, coherence, and spectral range of the future ALS are uniquely positioned to advance priority research directions in energy science. Transformative progress in fundamental energy science requires probing transport, structure, and function in complex systems across different length and time scales and under realistic conditions. This workshop will bring together scientists to discuss opportunities in various areas, including chemical manufacturing and catalysis, separations, energy storage and conversion, carbon dioxide capture, conversion, and storage, and new experimental probes. These topics will connect ALS capabilities that span high resolution imaging, scattering, and spectroscopy to advances in materials synthesis, multimodal characterization, and theory and simulations.
