Proceedings of Catalyst Design Strategies for Photo- and Electrochemical Fuel Synthesis (ECAT25)
Publication date: 19th December 2024
Electrolysis technologies such as water splitting, CO2 electroreduction, and other emerging reactions, present sustainable alternatives to power large industries such as transport (fuels), manufacturing (chemical feedstock) and agriculture (fertilizers). The viability of these technologies hinges upon achieving sufficient achieving sufficient performance in metrics such as product selectivity, productivity (or current density), energy efficiency, and stability, at scale. Conventionally, improvements in these reactions have been sought by tuning the electronic and physicochemical properties of (pre)catalysts through compositional and structural modifications. Here, I will show approaches to tune electrocatalytic activity in water-based electrolysis by manipulating precatalyst reconstruction and reaction environment, addressing the liquid-side of the reaction. I will discuss the need of tailored activation protocols and situ and operando spectroscopies at relevant working conditions to achieve reliability in catalyst design and operation. To conclude, I will overview sustainability issues in the scale up and path to market of CO2 electrolysis technologies.
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.
