Building upon the foundational understanding of ceria-based single-atom catalysts (SACs) and their pivotal role in heterogeneous catalysis, this project ambitiously aims to explore and elucidate the intricate electron dynamics of platinum clusters supported on CeO2(100) surfaces. This venture represents a significant leap from the foundational SACs, venturing into the more complex realm of cluster-supported catalysts. The primary objective is to dissect and comprehend the nuanced atomic-level interactions and the mechanisms of electron transfer between the platinum clusters and the ceria support. This understanding is not just academically intriguing but critically vital for harnessing and optimizing the catalytic prowess of these systems.
The research methodology is a judicious blend of advanced computational modeling methods, aiming to construct a multifaceted and holistic understanding of the structural, electronic, and dynamic characteristics of these complex catalytic systems. By synergizing theoretical insights with empirical data, the project intends to unravel the fundamental principles governing the electron dynamics and structural configurations that are pivotal for catalytic activity and stability.
The strategic choice of platinum clusters supported on CeO2(100) as the research subject is driven by the unique properties of platinum as a catalytic material and the proven track record of ceria in enhancing catalytic reactions. The interaction between platinum and ceria is anticipated to manifest in unique electron dynamics, potentially leading to novel catalytic behaviors and mechanisms. The research will meticulously investigate these interactions, focusing on the charge distribution, electron flow, and the resultant impact on catalytic processes.
In essence, this project is not merely an extension of the electron dynamics study of SACs but a bold and innovative exploration into the next frontier of catalysis research. Through a meticulous and comprehensive study of platinum clusters supported on CeO2(100), this project aspires to contribute significantly to the field of catalysis, paving the way for the development of next-generation catalysts that are more effective, efficient, and environmentally benign.
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.
