II Colombian Congress of Electrochemistry (CCEQ) and 2nd Symposium on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (SNN)

Abstract

In the present volume of Journal of Physics: Conference Series we publish the proceedings of the “II Colombian Congress of Electrochemistry (CCEQ) and 2nd Symposium on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (SNN)”, that was held from, October 4-7, 2016, at the Bucarica headquarters of the Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS), Bucaramanga, Colombia. The proceedings consist of 45 contributions that were presented as plenary talks at the event. The abstracts of all participants’ contributions were published in the Book with ISBN 978-958-8819-39-6. The website of the symposium is available at http://cceq.uis.edu.co/.The scientific program of the II CCEQ and 2nd SNN consisted of 5 Plenary Lecture, 3 Magisterial Conferences, 2 Keynote, 54 Oral and 78 Poster Presentations and 3 Courses with the participation of undergraduate and graduate students, professors, researchers and entrepreneurs from Colombia, Spain, Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela. Moreover, the II CCEQ and 2nd SNN provided a forum of exchange in the research and innovation that enrich the area of electrochemistry, Nanoscience and Nanotechnology of the materials and the industrial applications.All papers in these Proceedings refer to one from the following topics: New Materials, Thin Film, Surface Physics, Simulation and Diagnosis, Laser and Hybrid Processes, Biomedical Coatings, Preparation/Characterization/Application Nanomaterials, Surface Modification (Ionic Implantation, Ion Nitriding, PVD, CVD), Electrochemistry of Materials (Electrodeposits, Electropolymerization, Nanoelectrochemistry, Semiconductors), Corrosion, Analytical Electrochemistry, Electrochemistry in Mineral Processing and Metals (Extractive Metallurgy), Storage and Conversion Electrochemical Energy and Environmental Electrochemistry and Water Treatment involving Electrochemical Nature Phenomena. The editor hopes that those interested in the area of the science of materials can to enjoy this reading that reflects a wide variety of current issues.On behalf of the organizing committee of the II CCEQ and 2nd SNN, we are extremely thankful to all authors for providing their valuable contributions for these Proceedings as well as the reviewers for their constructive recommendations and criticism aiding to improve the presented articles. Besides, especially we appreciate the great support provided by the Sponsors and Partners.The EditorEly Dannier V. Niño
