Every five years the International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies (Pacifichem) becomes the pre-eminent forum for scientists from around the globe to discuss cutting-edge developments in all areas of chemistry. The theme for this year’s conference in Honolulu, Hawaii is Chemical Networking: Building Bridges Across the Pacific, with an emphasis on the collaborative nature of chemistry as a multidisciplinary science and the aim to promote networking with pan-Pacific research groups. The Chemistry of Clean Energy Conversion, Storage, and Production sessions this year will showcase chemists and engineers tackling the world’s energy issues through myriad approaches. The symposia will cover everything from carbon dioxide utilization, heterogeneous catalysts for bio-refining and light harvesting surfaces to microwave green chemistry, fuel cells, hydrogen storage and water splitting, among many others. In this context, we are proud to highlight the groundbreaking work of ACS Publications authors who will be speakers in the sessions. These scientists are pushing boundaries, in order to address the challenges of clean energy conversion, storage and production.
