The International Functional Nanomaterials and Nanodevice Conference 2017 (www.nanomat2017.com) aims to bring together leading scientists, researchers, engineers, and technology developers in nanotechnology to exchange information on their latest research progress and innovation. This Conference will include a series of symposia focused on four main areas which are: Functional Nanomaterials Synthesis and Characterization; Devices for Energy Storage and Energy Conversion; Nanobiotechnologies and Nanodevices; and Nanotechnology for Environmental Studies & Safety Issues.
1. Symposium on Energy Conversion and Storage Materials
Organizer: Prof. L. Etgar / The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel
This symposium aims to attract critical mass of experts working in the field of energy storage materials. The meeting will provide a forum to discuss the recent advances in various types of batteries, solar cells, and fuel cells. The event will cover both fundamental and applied research for energy storage and conversion. The latest nano/materails used in batteries, solar cells and fuel cells will be discussed. Topics include:
a. Synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials for application in batteries
b. Li-ion batteries, Na-ion batteries, supercapacitors
c. Quantum-dot-sentitized solar cells
d. Organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells
e. Organic polymer solar (OPV) cells
f. Transport and ultrafast processes in semiconductors
g. fuel-cells
h. other topics are also welcome
2. Symposium on Synthesis and Characterization of Nanomaterials
To cover the development in naomaterials synthesis and characterization we also included a separate section which will focus on various topics such as:
a. Synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials
b. Electrodeposition of thin films
c. Hydrothermal synthesis of organic/inorganic nanomaterials
d. Various techniques for characterization of nanomaterials and thin films
e. Polymeric nanomaterials
f. Other topics
3. Symposium on Catalysis for Clean Energy and Chemical Production
Organizers: Prof. S. Basu / Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, India
Prof. S. Emin / European Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Association, EU
a. synthesis of novel materials for catalysis and photocatalysis
b. water splitting and solar fuels
c. new reactions, characterizations of catalysts
d. biofuels, value added products
e. pyrolysis, catalytic technologies
f. other topics
4. Symposium on Nanobiotechnologies
Organizers: Prof. D. Fixler / Bar-Ilan University, Israel
Prof. A. Loukanov / Saitama University, Japan)
The goal of the symposium is to discuss the recent progresses in the field of nanobiotechnologies. The topics will cover the following areas:
a. Synthesis of nanomaterials for bio-applications
b. Labelling of cells and microorganism with nanomaterials
c. Drug delivery with nanoparticles
d. Microfluidic devices
e. Detection of tumor and cancer cells with nanomaterials
f. New concepts for detection and delivery of nanomaterials into living cells
