Title: The Emergence of Porous Hybrid Metal Halide Semiconductors
Speaker: Dr. Ioannis Spanopoulos, University of South Florida, USA
Date: Friday, 28 March 2025
Time: 15:00 CET
Hybrid metal halide semiconductors have revolutionized the fields of optoelectronics and photovoltaics due to their remarkable optoelectronic properties and low-cost synthesis. Recent advances have led to the development of a novel class: porous hybrid metal halide semiconductors, which combine the advantageous features of hybrid perovskites with intrinsic porosity. In this ATHENA Talk, Dr. Ioannis Spanopoulos will present cutting-edge research on these materials’ design, synthesis, and functional properties, highlighting their potential in gas sensing, photodetection, and catalysis. Emphasis will be placed on structure–property relationships, stability enhancement strategies, and the role of organic-inorganic interactions in tuning porosity and functionality. The talk will conclude with a perspective on future directions and emerging applications in sustainable technologies.
