Introduction

The 1^st Africa Energy Materials conference (AEM-2017) provides a platform for scholars and researchers from the African continent and also the rest of the world to present their latest progress and development in their fields. The conference will have contributions under the themes of:

• Hydrogen and fuel cells
• Energy storage
• Renewable energy
• Other energy related materials

The broad scope brings together a wide range of research areas including:

• Synthesis
• Characterization
• Modifications/functionalization
• Energy applications 

The conference aims to provide a platform for knowledge sharing as well as creating favorable atmosphere for collaboration initiations. This event will include contributions by renowned plenary and invited speakers, oral presentations, posters sessions and technical exhibition that relate to the topics dealt with in the Scientific Program. Select outstanding contributions will be invited to submit full papers to Materials Today: Proceedings (an Elsevier published journal). The manuscripts will undergo the normal peer-review process and it is expected that the accepted papers will be published shortly after the conference.

A pre-conference training workshop is also scheduled. This workshop targets master's and PhD students, Post-docs, and young researchers interested in acquiring skills relevant to the emerging field of materials for energy applications.
