Addressing the escalating challenges of climate change, sustainable energy, and environmental resilience demands a transformative approach rooted in chemistry and allied disciplines. The Conference on Advances in Catalysis for Energy and Environment (CACEE-2026) is envisioned as a global platform to bring together leading researchers across chemistry, materials science, spectroscopy, engineering, and computational science to drive the next generation of solutions.

Building on the strong foundation of previous editions, CACEE-2026 aims to foster in-depth discussions on advancing breakthrough catalyst design through fundamental insights.

The conference will emphasize the rational design of next-generation catalytic materials for electro-, thermo-, and photo-catalytic pathways, spanning defect engineered systems, single and multimetallic architectures, and nanostructured & hybrid multifunctional materials. It will highlight the pivotal role of interfaces, strong metal–support interactions, plasmonic, and electronic structure modulation in controlling activity, selectivity, and stability. Particular focus will be placed on light–matter interactions for solar-driven transformations, and their integration with renewable energy systems for sustainable chemical production.

​Beyond materials design, CACEE-2026 will explore advanced approaches to understanding catalytic processes, including operando and in-situ characterization, state-of-the-art spectroscopy and microscopy, theoretical & computational modeling and data-driven and AI-assisted catalyst discovery. The conference will also address reactor engineering, process intensification, and the integration of catalysis across scales. 

​Through interdisciplinary exchange and critical dialogue, CACEE-2026 aims to accelerate the journey from molecular-level understanding to real-world energy and environmental solutions.
