Symposium B2. Photocatalysis and Photosynthesis (Photocatalytic Water Splitting, Photocatalytic CO₂ Reduction, Photoelectrochemical Cells, Solar Fuel Generation, Interfacial Charge Dynamics)

Organizers:

Prof. Yung-Jung Hsu	National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan
Prof. Kijung Yong	Pohang University of Science and Technology, Korea
Prof. Ken-Ichi Katsumata	Tokyo University of Science, Japan
Prof. Kao-Shuo Chang	National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan

Scope:

Photocatalysis and photosynthesis in an artificial system offer an opportunity for producing renewable energy to replace fossil fuels. The symposium will provide an interdisciplinary platform for delegates to interact and share their findings on a wide range of topics related to photoelectrochemistry and photophysics of semiconductor nanostructures. The central theme covers the recent progress and scientific challenges of integrating the light absorbers and catalysts into subsystems, with the goal of achieving water splitting, CO2 reduction, artificial photosynthesis as well as solar fuel generation. On the other hand, an in-depth comprehension of charge carrier dynamics helps to ascertain the elements determining the carrier utilization efficiency, which is also crucial for the rational design of ideal photocatalyst systems.

Topics:

Photoelectrochemical cells for solar fuel generation
Photocatalytic water splitting
Photocatalytic CO₂ reduction
Hybrid systems for solar fuel generation
Interfacial charge dynamics
