The electrolytic splitting of water into its elements is Reaction No.1 in modern electrochemistry. Discovered by van Troostwijk, Nicolson, Carlisle, and Ritter, water splitting and its half-cell constituents - hydrogen evolution (HER) and oxygen evolution (OER) – later became the most widely explored electrochemical model reactions in ground-breaking works by Bockris, Parsons, Conway, and Gerischer. Over the past 2 decades, advanced characterization methods coupled to high performance computations have offered new molecular insights into the reactive interface of catalyst and electrolyte. Today, water splitting using renewable power is an emerging industrial process technology to generate “green” hydrogen, a versatile energy vector for the decarbonization of power generation, heat, mobility, and industry.
In this presentation, I will share some of our recent work on the design and ex/in-situ characterization of electrocatalytic materials, interfaces and mechanisms for the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Catalytic materials such as Iridium oxide and Nickel oxides along with similarities and differences in their mechanisms in acid and alkaline environments will be discussed.
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.
