2016 MRS Spring Meeting
Symposium EE14-Titanium Oxides—From Fundamental Understanding to Applications
As a versatile semiconductor material of low cost, titanium oxide (TiO2) offers a wide range of functionalities for various important applications, such as photocatalytic solar fuel generation and environmental remediation, new generation solar cells, self-cleaning coatings, electrochemical energy storage, biomedical and electrochromic devices and sensors. Fundamental understanding and innovative design of TiO2-based materials are of particular importance for advancing the field of TiO2 research, particularly in renewable energy conversion and storage sectors.
This symposium aims to bring together top researchers across various disciplines in TiO2-related fields to exchange their latest advances in synthesis, structural and facet control, simulation, electronic structure engineering, surface modification, reaction mechanisms, and various applications of TiO2-based materials.
Topics will include:
- TiO2-based nanocomposites and their applications
- Superhydrophilic, amphiphilic, and antifogging surfaces
- TiO2 nanomaterials: controllable synthesis and characterization
- Fundamental mechanism understanding: charge transfer and recombination
- Fundamental properties investigation: theoretical and computational study
- Band-gap engineering of TiO2: optical, electronic, and catalytic modification
- Photocatalysis reaction mechanism understanding: charge transfer and recombination
- Photocatalysis: solar fuel generation, CO2 reduction, photo-oxidation, self-cleaning coating, water purification
- Solar cells: Electrodes for third generation solar cells including perovskite based solar cells
- Sensors and detectors, biomedical applications, electrochromic devices and charge storage systems
