The electron transfer chemistry of halides are intimately coupled to the formation and breaking of halogen-halogen bonds (1). This chemistry has been exploited for solar energy conversion in regenerative dye-sensitized solar cells and are relevant to perovskite solar cells, yet many of the intimate mechanistic details remain poorly understood. In this presentation fundamental studies of halide redox chemistry in fluid solution and at solid-state interfaces will be presented and analyzed with existing theories. Evidence for inner-sphere electron transfer reaction mechanisms have been garnered through systematic studies of iodide oxidation by ruthenium polypyridyl compounds. A dramatic shift in the one-electron transfer reduction potential of tri-iodide relative to the two-electron transfer potential was discovered that underlies the amazing success of iodide redox mediators in dye-sensitized solar cells. Studied of ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) reactivity in metal halide complexes relevant to perovskite solar cells will also be presented. LMCT light excitation generates iodine atoms and di-iodide that undergo subsequent redox chemistry with the reduced metal center. The details of these studies will be summarized.

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.
