Innovation of Renewable Energy, CO2 Capture and Storage Materials for Better Applications

The 15th International Conference on Quality in Research (QiR) was held in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia on July 24–27, 2017. The main theme was “Science, Technology and Innovation for Sustainable World.” This third book of special edition of International Journal of Technology (IJTech) present 18 papers in the research areas of chemical and metallurgy & materials engineering. The International Symposium on Chemical Engineering, QiR, covered various topics such as renewable energy business and economics, biomass conversion technologies, modeling and simulation, advanced thermal and chemical processes, waste to energy, advanced biofuel technology, catalysts, composites, photocatalysis, and adsorption. We have selected 10 papers from the 80 submitted for publication in the IJTech. The International Symposium on Materials and Metallurgy, QiR, covered topics such as carbon, graphene, oxides, nanocomposites, mesostructured materials, advanced superconducting, electrochemical water splitting, extraction, hydrometallurgy, and energy storage devices. We selected 8 papers from the 111 fullpapers for publication in the IJTech. The eighteen papers, from both symposia, are summarized below.
