The last few years have seen the increasing occurrence of water contamination by pharmaceuticals, personal care products, plastic and their additives among the other,1-5 that are not satisfyingly removed by conventional drinking water treatment technologies.6, 7 In some cases, as for the endocrine disrupting agents such as per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and bisphenol A (BPA), the eco and human toxicity has been demonstrated 8-11 calling for the urgent development of new technologies for detection, early warning and remediation of such emerging contaminants.
Due to its commercial availability at good standard quality and processability in composite or membranes, graphene is one of the most promising nanomaterials for the realization of new technologies for water purification. In this talk, I will present a selection of case studies of graphene-and chemically modified based materials and devices realized at CNR to detect and remove emerging contaminants including pharmaceuticals, personal care products and PFAS), from drinking water.[1,2,3] I will discuss about performance, sustainability issues in comparison with standard technologies and future challenges to respond to the sustainable development goal n6 of the UN ‘ensuring clean water and sanitation to all’.
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.
