Special Session 3
NANO-OPTOELECTRONIC MATERIALS AND DEVICES FOR GREEN PRODUCTION OF ENERGY AND FUELS (SS3)
Electronic devices have transformed modern society, including science and technology. Today, advanced optoelectronic technologies are essential for any kind of application, especially those concerning the use of renewable sources. Continuous improvements in electron photogeneration and emission devices are driven by innovative materials and the introduction of new physical principles. Recent progress includes the emergence of functionalized and low-dimensional nanomaterials with peculiar electronic and thermal properties. Advances in electron-emission materials and physics are fueling a resurgence in the field, enabling new applications like energy generation and green fuels‘ production.
As shining examples of this topic, the results obtained during two PRIN 2022 projects, SPEEDHY (Solar PhotoElectrochEmical black Diamond converters for HYdrogen and ammonia production) and TECHPRO (Thermionic Energy Conversion for High Power RadiatiOn), will be reported and discussed with two specific sub-sessions during the Special Session program.
The main topics of interest in the Special Session are:
- Nanotubes, nanowires, graphene, and 2D materials for electron transport mechanisms.
- Nano-architectures for III-V semiconductors and carbon materials in electron transport systems.
- Innovations in electron transport models and advanced thermal applications, such as thermoelectric effect, thermionic emission, and phonon trap processes.
- Nanotechnology applied to photoemission, secondary electron emission and field emission.
- Nanomaterials and nanostructures for green production of energy and fuels.
