The SS program is soliciting abstracts that describe recent advances in cutting-edge and foundational research that involves solid surfaces and interfaces, including gas-solid and liquid-solid interactions with emphasis on chemical reactions on surfaces, surface spectroscopies using ions, electrons, or photons. We aim to understand the wide range of processes taking place on surfaces and at interfaces, together with a full characterization of those systems, to finally improve the process by building upon this critical knowledge. This year a wide range of topics will be covered from surface chemistry with water and in liquids, to reactions on alloy surfaces, nanoparticles, and oxide, chalcogenide, and 2D materials surfaces. We showcase advances in Operando/in-situ reaction conditions and on-surface synthesis. We will hold a special Thursday afternoon session entitled “Late Breaking Discoveries from the Rising Stars in Surface Science” with a reception.
