Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is a valuable tool for investigating surfaces and interfaces in elevated pressure conditions. We have recently constructed and commissioned a new end-station dedicated to Spectroscopic Analysis with Tender X-rays (SpAnTeX). The SpAnTeX end-station focuses on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements of solid-liquid interfaces. It is able to operate at pressures up to 30 mbar and photoelectron kinetic energies up to 10 keV. At the heart of the SpAnTeX end-station is a SPECS PHOIBOS 150 HV NAP electron spectrometer. This new spectrometer contains two additional features that allow for measurements with lateral resolution better than 30 μm and time resolved measurements with 100 ns or less time resolution. The SpAnTeX end-station is based on a modular concept which allows for the rapid exchange of sample environment modules. To date, we have constructed two modules. One module, the dip-and-pull module, is used for investigating solid-liquid interfaces under applied bias and illumination. The second module incorporates a droplet train which facilitates investigation of liquid phase processes with time resolution ranging from the μs to ms regimes. After a technical introduction to the SpAnTeX end-station and the experimental modules, results obtained using SpAnTeX will be presented. We will present results for Electrochemically Mediated Amine Regeneration (EMAR) for CO2 capture and sequestration processes, and light induced changes at the bismuth vanadate- and silicon-aqueous electrolyte interfaces.
This project was supported by the Helmholtz Association through the Helmholtz Energy Materials Foundry (HEMF, GZ 714-48172-21/1).
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.
