From surfaces to devices: novel perspectives from nanostructured oxides and carbon materials
9:00 -17:30
International Workshop
Nanostructured oxides and carbon materials represent an extremely rich playground for many applications, ranging from sensing to photodetectors, from photovoltaics to photocatalysis. These materials are expected to meet the requirements on sustainability practices and the need for new ideas to boost the energy transition.
In this Workshop, we will focus on nanostructured oxides and carbon materials addressing their role in applications and devices. Attention will be paid to functionalization and doping, as well as to the opportunity provided by ab-initio calculations to disclose the mechanisms underlying devices operation.
Bringing together junior and senior scientists from the nanoscience research community we aim to offer participants a perspective on novel approaches to device development starting from nanomaterials surfaces and interfaces.
The workshop will host three Sessions: nanostructured oxides, nanostructured carbon, and ab-initio methods.
