Highly porous ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 synthesized by an environmentally friendly steam-assisted dry-gel technique are investigated as potential catalysts for electrochemical reductive reactions. The synthesis conditions play a crucial role in the growth of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Tuning water content, in particular, significantly influences the morphological and structural properties of ZIF-8. These properties show significant effects in CO2 electroreduction, producing syngas with different CO: H2 ratios. The CO selectivity changed by variation in the volume of water during the synthesis and significantly affects the crystal size and morphology of the ZIF-8 particles. An optimum CO selectivity of 50% is obtained at -1.2 VRHE by increasing the water content to 20mL during the dry-gel synthesis. The tunability of CO selectivity influenced by the synthesis conditions and the reductive potential used during the CO2 electroreduction process is advantageous for producing syngas in different CO: H2 ratios. In addition, despite exhibiting similar textural and structural properties, ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 show distinctive CO2 electroreductive performance, which is assigned to the vital role of their respective metal center.
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.
