Advanced high-performance materials enabling precise control of chemical change, characterization tools probing the ultrafast and the ultra small, and new understanding based on advanced theory and simulation are the agents for moving beyond incremental improvements and creating a truly secure and sustainable energy future. This symposium proceedings volume focuses on the synthesis, processing, characterization, and modelling of nanostructured materials and their potential use as "nanoscale building blocks" for photon, phonon and chemical transduction to electrical signal and vice versa for energy management. Nanoscale structures can dramatically alter surface reaction rates and electrical transport, resulting in improvements in the processes and transduction mechanisms concerning energy storage, conversion, and generation.
