Proceedings of MATSUS Fall 2026 Conference (MATSUSFall26)

In the last decade, operando characterization techniques have attracted growing interest, as they allow studying functional materials under realistic working conditions. They have been widely used to investigate catalysts for applications such as electrolysis and fuel cells, and materials for energy storage devices. These techniques deliver key information on structural and morphological characteristics, identify reaction intermediates, and monitor changes in surface chemical composition during operation.
In this work, we explore the coupling of operando Raman spectroscopy with electrochemical liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy (EC-LPTEM).
While EC-LPTEM provides nanoscale visualization of the dynamic morphological evolution of the catalyst, operando Raman spectroscopy probes the chemical state of the catalyst and gives information on the reaction intermediates during electrochemical operation.
We examine the differences in cell designs due to the instrumental constraints and establish a correlation strategy between the two techniques, using CuO nanostructures for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) as case study. This correlative approach enables a comprehensive analysis of the dynamic evolution of morphological, structural and chemical properties of electrocatalysts under operating conditions.
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.
