Atomistic simulations of dye sensitized surfaces in presence of a liquid solvent
Dye sensitized surfaces play an important role in many technological applications, most prominently in Grätzel solar cells. The adsorption geometry and stability of the dye molecules depends strongly on the presence and the kind of liquid solvent which is used as an electrolyte in such devices. In this talk I will present combined first-principles molecular dynamics simulations and computational spectroscopy to shed light on the intricate interplay between solvent, structure, and optical properties in such systems.

Welcome
to the European Conference on Materials and Technologies for Sustainable Growth website.
ECo MaTech will be held in Bled (Slovenia) from 19th to 21st of September 2013.
Eco MaTech is the third edition of a conference that started in 2009. The aim of ECo MaTech is to gather representatives of academic and R&D institutions, industry, governmental agencies and civil society to:
- present their work, ideas and products,
- increase fruitful exhanges between all the actors involved in sustainable growth technologies,
- increase the networking with sustainable growth professionals,
- establish a general discussion platform on sustainable growth.
