The ability to sense and react to environmental stimuli is a crucial material property to harness in the development of next-generation sensors, actuators, and robotics. In this presentation, I will introduce n-type conjugated polymers as multifunctional bioelectronic interfaces. Firstly, I will demonstrate how these polymers can be tailored to establish favorable interactions with catalytic enzymes. This biohybrid, when employed in an enhancement mode organic electrochemical transistor (OECT), exhibits remarkable sensitivity and selectivity in detecting glucose and lactate in blood serum or saliva across a broad concentration range. While highlighting the unique characteristics of these devices, I will delve into the potential pathways through which the polymer film generates charges and address stability concerns. Subsequently, I will explore how these polymer films respond to visible and near-infrared (NIR) light by generating voltage drops at the aqueous electrolyte interface. This system is then seamlessly integrated into an adaptable circuit with outputs controlled by various stimuli, effectively mimicking the function of a light-sensitive neuron. Finally, I will unveil a novel application of the n-type films, demonstrating their capacity to enhance stem cell maturation.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
