The Third International Conference on Energy and Environment-Related Nanotechnology (ICEEN 2014) Oct. 24-27, 2014, Beijing, China http://www.conferencenet.org/conference/iceen.html Invitation The Third International Conference on Energy and Environment-Related Nanotechnology (ICEEN 2014) will be held on October 24-27, 2014 in Beijing, China. The ICEEN began in 2006 in Beijing. Since then we have organized two successful conferences under the theme of Energy, Environment and Nanotechnology. Energy and environment are two key issues for the sustainable development and well-being of human being, and are the current and long-term focuses of science and technology. The importance of nanoscience and technology has been well documented by both academic and industrial communities worldwide. It is believed that breakthroughs in nanoscience and technology will change all aspects of human life in such diverse areas as energy, environment, biomedicine, sensing, information and security. The ICEEN aims to provide a successive forum for researchers and educators from all over the world to exchange ideas and state-of-the-art research and development and identify research needs and opportunities in these emerging fields. This conference will cover a wide range of interdisciplinary and current research topics such as nanomaterials, nanofabrication, solar energy conversion, electrochemical conversion and energy storage, biological energy and biomass transformation, hydrogen production and storage, photocatalysis and environmental catalysis, contaminated water treatment, indoor air purification, air pollution control, soil treatment, CO2 capture, nanomaterials and human health. ICEEN 2014 will include plenary speeches, invited presentations, contributed presentations and poster presentations. Beijing is a modern capital with an ancient history. She is celebrated for her attractive natural surroundings, historic sites and cultural monuments. One can enjoy the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven as well as Birds’ Nest, Water Cube, and many more. Meanwhile, with her numerous research institutes, universities and collegess, Beijing is also the scientific and educational center of China. On behalf of the Organizing Committee of ICEEN 2014, it is my great pleasure to invite all the interested researchers and educators in the international scientific community to join us at ICEEN 2014 in Beijing and share the excitement of good science for the benefit of mankind. We are looking forward to meeting you in Beijing in October ICEEN 2014. Junhui He Chairman of the Organizing Committee Topics 1. Nanomaterials; 2. Nanofabrication; 3. Solar energy conversion; 4.

About Beijing Beijing, the capital city of China, is an ancient city with a long history of 3000 years. The long history leaves Beijing lots of precious cultural treasures, including the Great Wall, Summer Palace, Forbidden City, Tiantan, etc. that have already been well-known to the world. However, the authentic old Beijing life is probably best represented by its many teahouses, temple fairs, Hutongs and square courtyards, the Peking Opera and the different styles of Chinese cuisine. Now Beijing is a modern and fashionable city complete with a full 21st Century vitality, similar to other great metropolis elsewhere in today's world. Particularly, the success of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games has brought great changes to Beijing, strengthening its international status in the world.
