Proceedings of Materials for Sustainable Development Conference (MAT-SUS) (NFM22)

Fuels based in fossil sources are rapidly depleting and contribute significantly to greenhouse gases emissions, therefore finding alternatives is key to a sustainable future. Biodiesel has emerged as a possible substitute which is technically, economically, and environmentally viable.[1] Glycerol, an inexpensive, nontoxic, and renewable byproduct of biodiesel production, is arising as an attractive feedstock for the synthesis of valuable chemicals.[2,3] The glycerol electrooxidation reaction (GEOR) is an interesting route for its transformation into more valuable chemicals such as formic, glycolic, glyceric and oxalic acids, dihydroxyacetone and glyceraldehyde, among others[1,2].
Nickel (Ni) is one of the most commonly used materials for the preparation of electrodes in electrochemical systems.[4] Several reports have shown that Ni exhibits remarkable electrocatalytic performance, durability in alkaline solutions, and anti-poison ability, making it a promising candidate for GEOR.[1]
Herein, we present the electrochemical characterization through cyclic voltammetry, the effect of glycerol concentration using Nickel electrodes and first approach of products obtained such as its identification, quantification and evaluation of yields.

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.
