The convergence of population growth and climate change threatens food security on a worldwide scale. Current trends in population growth suggest that global food production is unlikely to satisfy future demand as predicted. In order to accomplish these significant objectives, the use of agrochemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, plant hormones, etc.) becomes inevitable to ensure quality and high yields. However, their intensive application has resulted in the deterioration of ecosystems. making necessary to develop more efficient and less toxic methods against pests and infections, while improving crops productivity. Importantly, large quantities of agrochemicals do not reach their intended objectives due to application practices (between 10-75% do not reach their target) and their widespread use, contributing to the deterioration of ecosystem quality, adversely affecting the health of living beings, water and soil.
Among the novel technologies considered, Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) appeared as innovative and promising materials for environmental applications.[1] In this work, we take a further step and use organic agrochemicals as linkers in the preparation of MOFs, what we have called AgroMOFs. Through this original strategy, we aim to achieve a controlled agrochemical delivery and enhance crop production and quality, while reducing contamination.[2] All these studies evidenced the potential of MOFs in agriculture without damaging our environment.
AgroMOFs (TED2021-132440B-I00) POR4Water (PLSQ_00188) and ProyExcel_00105 projects, FQM-394, and the Ramón y Cajal program (RYC2021‐032522‐I).
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.
