Photocatalytic water splitting under irradiation of solar light has attracted considerable attention for the production of renewable hydrogen energy from water. The approach that involves linking a particle light absorber with a molecular catalyst combines the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are a class of two dimensional materials which have been widely used in photocatalysis and dye-sensitised solar cell, due to their abundant active metal centers [1-3]. Inspired by the previous studies on colloidal systems, in this work, our efforts on coupling Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) as catalyst with other light-harvesting semiconductors such as layered-double hydroxides (LDHs) to achieve high performance water splitting systems. We have synthesized the visible-light responsive LDHs, such as NiTi-LDH and ZnCr-LDH. Various characterization techniques including XRD. XPS and SEM were used to investigate the structure of LDHs and PBAs. The photocatalytic activity of CoFe-PBA@LDH hybrid assemblies in the presence of sacrificial agent (0.1 mmol sodium persulfate) will be presented.
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.
