The conference will be organized as a joint European-US meeting of members of the COST Action D35, NSF CCI Solar and US Dept. of Energy JCAP projects, together with external invited experts. (Preliminary registration form, please, send by e-mail to organizers address: a.vlcek@qmul.ac.uk no later than 1 November 2010.)
The conference will start with a welcome party on Monday, May 23
(evening) and finish on May 26 noon.
The scientific program will consist of short presentations with a strong emphasis on open discussions.
The scientific focus will be on topics relevant to photochemical solar energy harvesting, namely:
Light collection
Electron transfer
- tunnelling vs. hopping
- electron/proton transfer
- multielectron redox processes
- long-range electron transport (acceleration, directionality)
New materials and photocatalysts for solar photochemistry
N2and CO2 functionalization
H2 production and water splitting
Theory
Experimental techniques
