Electrocatalytically driven reactions that produce alternative fuels and chemicals are considered as a useful means to store renewable energy in the form of chemical bonds. in recent years there has been a significant increase in research efforts aiming to develop highly efficient electrocatalysts that are able to drive those reactions. Yet, despite having made significant progress in this field, there is still a need for developing new materials that could function both as active and selective electrocatalysts.
In that respect, Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs), are an emerging class of hybrid materials with immense potential in electrochemical catalysis. Yet, to reach a further leap in our understanding of electrocatalytic MOF-based systems, one also needs to consider the well-defined structure and chemical modularity of MOFs as another important virtue for efficient electrocatalysis, as it can be used to fine-tune the immediate chemical environment of the active site, and thus affect its overall catalytic performance. Our group utilizes Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) based materials as a platform for imposing molecular approaches to control and manipulate heterogenous electrocatalytic systems. In this talk, I will present our recent study on electrocatalytic schemes involving MOFs, acting as: a) electroactive unit that incorporates molecular electrocatalysts, or b) non-electroactive MOF-based membranes coated on solid heterogenous catalysts.
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.
