ISIC21

Intercalation chemistry gathers a very large community of scientists and associated fields of research working on organic, inorganic and hybrid compounds, either natural or synthetic. Such intercalation chemistry cannot be dissociated from the study of the synthesis, structure, chemical and physical properties of the so-obtained intercalation materials.

Currently, novel ways of synthesis are under development for the preparation of original phases. With the recent scientific development, huge progresses are also realized concerning the characterization of these materials. These intercalation compounds clearly exhibit advantages and perspectives that can be involved in numerous applications catalysis, energy, environment, health, engineenering... All these topics will constitute the heart of our Symposium and will be the subject of a future Essay written by the ISIC Advisory Board included in a Special Issue.
