Metal-based species, such as oxides, are promising catalysts due to their structural and chemical stability during continuous catalysis processes. However, their catalytic activity is often limited, creating a significant opportunity for improvement. One effective strategy is the selective incorporation of another metal component to form a heterostructure, which can substantially enhance catalytic performance. In heterostructures, not only do the materials retain the inherent physicochemical benefits of their parent compounds, but unique properties emerging from synergetic effects at the heterointerfaces also contribute to improved electrocatalytic activity. In this project, colloidal chemistry was employed to develop a metal oxide-metal phosphide heterostructure. Detailed investigations into nucleation, growth kinetics, and surface chemistry provided mechanistic insights into heterostructure formation. Various characterization techniques further elucidated its structural and functional attributes. Additionally, the heterostructure, combined with silica cages, was used to fabricate gas diffusion electrodes through 3D printing. These electrodes demonstrated promising performance in the electrochemical reduction of CO2, yielding valuable products such as carbon monoxide (CO) and formate.
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.
