The electrification of chemical processes for the sustainable production of fuels and chemicals has garnered substantial interest in recent years. Three particularly intriguing opportunities are green H2 production by water electrolysis, the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to carbon-based fuels and chemicals, as well as ammonia production through electrochemical N2 conversion. In all of these cases, understanding interfaces with greater molecular detail is key to advancing activity, selectivity, and durability, important metrics that need to be improved for broader-scale implementation and commercialization of these technologies. This paper will describe efforts to design and develop new methods to understand relevant interfaces in these reactions, with a focus on in-situ, operando, and/or on-line techniques. This includes attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy (ATR-SEIRAS), X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The focus is to understand molecular-level processes at interfaces that govern performance and durability, with examples ranging from model surfaces to applied, high-performance systems.
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.
