Symposium on Environmental and Medical Applications of Photo-induced Energy Transfer Processes in Nanostructures
(EMAPET-Nano)
27th November 2025 

 

Co-sponsored by Nagoya University Institute for Advanced Research (IAR)
 

 

 

SCOPE & OBJECTIVES

This symposium will focus on discussing state-of-the art and potential for applications of photothermal materials, in the fields of catalysis, electrocatalysis, water remediation, and biomedicine, more precisely effective photothermal materials, including metal-, carbon- and silicon-based nanostructures, such as individual nanocrystals, porous materials, nanodot assemblies, and nanostructures. The potential of such nanostructures in diverse multidisciplinary fields, such as plasmonic-induced catalytic and electrocatalytic processes in hydrogen generation and CO2 reduction into added-value chemicals or fuels, and bio-medicine (photothermal treatment of bacterial infections and tumors), will be discussed. The symposium will aim at gathering people from different disciplines (materials science, physics, chemistry/electrochemistry, biology and medicine) to exchange on recent advances on photothermal materials, as well as identifying the fundamental aspects that still need to be clarified and challenges to be tackled.
