Workshop “Materials and Systems for Clean and Sustainable Energy by XFEL Methods”, organized in collaboration with SILS, is aimed at bringing together the growing scientific community that utilizes FEL and XFEL radiation as a unique tool in the investigation of materials, systems and processes for clean and sustainable energy solutions. Free Electron Laser facilities offer ultra-short and extremely bright photon pulses in an extended energy range, from the UV to the hard X-ray regime, to investigate matter at the timescales of electron and nuclear dynamics with chemical selectivity and bulk sensitivity. As such, they are having an important impact in our capacity to understand charge flow in (photo)chemical reactions, energy conversion in photoactive systems, ultrafast electron and ion motion in batteries, catalytic behaviour on fundamental scales, etc. Ultimately this research will contribute to establish design principles for cost-effective and sustainable chemical transformations, bio-inspired clean energy solutions and the directed design of nano-catalysts with tunable properties.

The session will be held on 10 July 2025 as part of the FISMAT conference in Venice. Conference website: https://eventi.cnism.it/fismat2025
