Nanotechnology Crossing Borders Event

Cabon nanomaterials are nanoparticles or nanostructures are widely applied based on their unique properties such as high mechanical strength, lightweight nature, and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. Famous examples of carbon nanomaterials include fullerenes, carbon nanofibers or nanotubes, graphene and nanodiamond. Application areas include energy conversion & storage (incl. batteries), biomedicine, electronics and sensors, and advanced composites. This session will focus on the synthesis of nanodiamonds and their application in sensing, and on carbon nanomaterials for batteries.

This session explores strategies to use light as an energy source to produce chemicals. The sun and green electricity-fueled light sources can be used to produce chemicals in a sustainable and economic fashion. Emphasis will be placed on equipment, system design, efficiency optimization, and the role of nanomaterials as catalysts in enabling scalable solar chemical technologies.
