Workshop
Young Researchers´School: Tutorial on Scientific Writing and the Editorial Process
Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Valtencir Zucolotto, IFSC / USP
The " Young Researchers´School " aims to develop / improve / strengthen the
skills necessary for researchers to do High Impact science, upon knowing the state of
the art in specific areas. The School will be offered to under and Graduate students
and post-docs.
It is hoped that researchers can optimize their potential in doing research, with regard to:
1) Development of national and international research projects with bold objectives,
and implementation of high-level scientific research. Such an approach is essential to
promote significant advances at the frontier of knowledge of each area.
2) Production of international scientific articles, through appropriate and efficient
writing.
As a result, we expect to collaborate with the formation of high-level
researchers, trained to recognize and act on the
state-of-the-art in their fields, in a way
to generate relevant knowledge and innovation for society.

Symposium J
Solar driven (photo)electrochemical processes and solar energy conversion
Scope of the Symposium
This symposium is dedicated to contributions in the development of novel materials and devices applied to the conversion of solar energy into electrical and chemical energy, i.e., new generation solar cells and the development of efficient solar driven routes to synthesize relevant solar fuels from molecules and CO2. Special emphasis in nanomaterials and devices applied for water splitting process assisted by photoelectrochemical cells (PEC), production of H2, alcohols or hydrocarbons from CO2 and water. The symposium is also dedicated to the development of novel (nano)materials, new architectures, interfaces and contacts in new generation solar cells (perovskite, organic and hybrid and dye sensitized solar cells and modules and Tandem) and fundamental investigations on the physical-chemical properties of this important class of semiconductors.
Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas
- New generation of solar cells (organic and hybrid, dye sensitized solar cells): novel materials (hole and electron transport layers, contacts, metal oxide interfaces), life time and stability, new techniques for fabrication, encapsulation, and printing of
- Perovskite-based solar cells: stability and life time studies, physical chemical and opto-electronic properties, new materials (hole and electron transport layers, contacts, metal oxide interfaces), film structure and morphology
- Carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, graphene and other nanomaterials applied to solar cells
- Materials for down conversion/up conversion processes
- Advances in materials design and control, bandgap engineering, quantum confinement, and plasmonic effects to enhance the solar energy device conversion
