[Closed] 5th InfoSyEnergy Open Symposium on January 23, 2024 (Updated on Jan 16)

>Japanese

 Tokyo Tech InfoSyEnergy Research and Education Consortium/Academy of Energy and Informatics aim to accelerate various energy technologies toward carbon neutrality by utilizing data and high-performance computing, and create a field called “Energy Big Data Science”. On the other hand, the energy field is a wide range, and the methods and problems of its utilization vary for each research topics.
 In this symposium, firstly we asked Mr. Hirozumi Sone, Director and Chairperson of Azbil Corporation, who is leading the way towards carbon neutrality and is developing businesses that utilize data in building management systems and plant development, to give a keynote speech.
 From Tokyo Tech, Prof. Ishii will give a lecture on electric power systems and Prof. Hirai will give a lecture on hydrogen energy as research and development of different technologies towards carbon neutrality. In the lecture, they will give comments on the current state of utilization of data and high-performance computing (data scientific methods, fluid simulation, computational chemistry, etc.) introducing each elemental technology.
 In the followed panel discussion, we will discuss issues while taking into account the characteristics of the technology development topics such as; whether it would be effective to share data and methods in the future for each technology development, and if so, what kind of data and methods should be shared, and how? ,what’s its problem? etc.
 We would like to think about the possibilities and direction of accelerating technological development using energy big data science towards the realization of a prosperous, human-centered carbon-neutral society.
We look forward to your participation.

[Closed] ISE Invited Lecture – Molecular sieving and adsorption by exploiting 2D membranes based on γ-graphynes

Porous two-dimensional (2D) materials are attracting a great interest for their potential use in gas separation technologies. In fact, due to their single-atom-thickness, a very fast molecular permeation is expected, as compared to conventional 3D membranes that exhibit flow rates usually inversely proportional to the membrane thickness. 2D materials called γ-graphynes are novel artificial carbon allotropes that are very promising candidates to become the ultimate membranes for molecular separation and adsorption. Indeed, their composition based on sp- and sp2-hybridized carbon atoms gives them a peculiar and regular structure consisting of sub-nanometric triangular pores whose size is of the same order of that of small atom and molecules. Therefore, such species are expected to encounter a non-negligible activation barrier for transmission through the membrane, which can lead to an enhanced selectivity between different gases. In this talk, recent theoretical studies are reported on the use of γ-graphynes as promising membranes for the separation not only of the components of a gaseous mixture but also of their isotopic counterparts. Moreover, the possible use of γ-graphynes as “ad hoc” adsorbing media for the storage of species such as as H2, CO2 and alkali metals is also addressed.
