Proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs) are a promising technology for the advancement of the hydrogen economy. However, critical challenges remain for oxygen evolution catalysts (electrodes) at the anode of PEMWEs, including: (1) high overpotential caused by the complex electron transport mechanisms in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), (2) severe catalyst dissolution and component deterioration under highly acidic and oxidative OER conditions, and (3) significant interfacial resistance in conventional powdery materials and Ohmic losses during high current density operations. Herein, I propose nanoporous Ir-based alloy thin-film oxygen evolution catalysts (electrodes) with a high electrochemical active surface area, fabricated via electrochemical treatments. This approach offers several advantages: (1) facile fabrication, (2) ligand effects enabled by alloying, (3) geometric effects enhanced through electrochemical treatments, and (4) improved conductivity due to efficient electron transport through the interconnected nanostructure. These findings are expected to guide the development of advanced strategies for enhancing PEMWE performance and enabling the rational design of next-generation oxygen evolution catalysts (electrodes).
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.
