Halide perovskite nanomaterials provide a powerful platform for studying how synthesis conditions control nucleation, growth, compositional evolution, dopant incorporation, dimensionality, and light–matter interactions. However, these materials often form through fast, coupled, and highly condition-dependent pathways, making it difficult to resolve how precursor chemistry, reaction environment, and processing history collectively determine their optical properties. In this talk, I will discuss how self-driving laboratories can accelerate the experimental interrogation of these complex reaction spaces by integrating automated synthesis, in situ/online optical characterization, and machine-learning-guided experiment selection. I will highlight recent work from our group on flow- and batch-based autonomous platforms for metal halide perovskite quantum dots and low-dimensional perovskite nanostructures, including autonomous optimization of emission properties, data-rich mapping of dopant-mediated photoluminescence, accelerated exploration of anion-exchange and photoinduced transformation pathways, and synthesis–property modeling across high-dimensional experimental spaces. These studies show how autonomous experimentation can move beyond empirical materials optimization to uncover non-intuitive reaction conditions, identify key synthetic variables governing optical response, and generate mechanistic insight into how halide perovskite nanomaterials form, transform, and emit.
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.
