Finding affordable, durable, and efficient catalysts is crucial for advancing green hydrogen production and carbon dioxide conversion, both vital for mitigating climate change. Currently, the discovery of new catalysts is hindered by the gap between computational predictions and experimental outcomes. Traditional catalyst discovery is a slow, trial-and-error process relying on decades of expertise. Analyzing a single material takes time, so different parts of the material design space are often studied separately by various research groups. This results in reproducibility challenges, making it difficult to build on previous findings and draw comprehensive conclusions. Progress requires large, diverse experimental datasets that are reproducible and tested under industrially relevant conditions to bridge the gap in discovery. In my talk, I will highlight the development of the Open Catalyst Experiments OCx24 dataset, featuring more than 500 samples synthesized and characterized by XRF and XRD and tested on gas diffusion electrodes in zero-gap electrolysis for CO2 reduction and hydrogen evolution. To find correlations with experimental outcomes and to perform computational screens, we calculated DFT-verified adsorption energies for six adsorbates on approximately 20,000 inorganic materials, requiring 685 million AI-accelerated relaxations.
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.
