Nanomaterials have emerged as vital components in various scientific and technological applications, their properties intricately linked to their size, shape, and dispersity. The use of microfluidics and flow reactors has proven invaluable in this context, offering precise control over nanomaterial properties [1]. Our research introduces a custom automated flow reactor platform integrated with online optical spectrometry for in-situ studies, facilitating the accelerated development of diverse nanomaterials.
This platform employs syringe-based delivery of precursors, enabling the synthesis of a wide range of nanomaterials. Our investigations span noble metal nanoparticles (Ag), metal oxides (CuO), I-III-VI semiconductor quantum dots (AgInS2), and metal halide perovskites (CsPbBr3), showcasing its adaptability across material classes.
A key aspect of our research looks at understanding how flow reactor engineering influences nanomaterial properties. Leveraging the enhanced mass and thermal transfer capabilities in flow, we explore not only the reactor's influence but also aim to improve the reproducibility and repeatability of nanomaterial synthesis.
Moreover, our flow reactor's capabilities extend to automated parameter screening, enabling experiments across a broad parameter space using different design of experiment methods. With a segmented flow approach, it can conduct hundreds of experiments daily, facilitating multi-dimensional parameter screening. The next phase involves harnessing big data and AI-driven optimization [1], allowing the reactor to seek global optima or minima for the desired nanomaterial properties.
Our versatile microfluidic-based flow reactor platform, combined with in-situ optical spectrometry and automated parameter screening, empowers researchers to accelerate the research and development of a wide array of nanomaterials. This technology holds promise for advancing nanomaterial science and its applications in various fields, offering flexibility and precision in nanomaterial synthesis and optimization.
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.
