The First International School on Fine-scale Processes in Health and Energy Applications
Naimeh Naseri2021-07-30T11:49:08+00:00Today, the demand for energy production and storage devices as well as affordable, efficient, and low-cost healthcare and environmental monitoring systems is increasing in worldwide. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new technologies to overcome these energy and health-related issues. In this context, nanoscience and nanotechnology open new gates and as a result, understanding reactions and processes at the atomic scale are essential to optimize the performance of the final devices based on nanostructures.
We are pleased to announce the 1st Online International School on “Fine-scale Processes in Health and Energy Applications” is going to be held on 19-21 June 2021 (29-31 Khordad 1400) at Sharif University of Technology. Participating in this program is free of charge, but registration is required. For those participants who need certification, a notification will be sent after the program. All sections are virtual and available via online platforms.

PROJECT#1
TITLE: Two-Dimensional (2D) Metal Oxides for Energy Storage & Conversion Applications
The ever-increasing demand for clean and sustainable energy in our modern society has necessitated the search for functional nanomaterials with superior performance. In this regard, Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal oxides have attracted a great deal of attention due to their outstanding physico/chemical properties. Inspired by the pioneering works in this novel field, we would like to investigate the performance of these 2D nanostructures in energy-related applications.

PROJECT#2
TITLE: 3D Printing of Functional Nanostructures Based on Additive-Free Inks
The ability to formulate functional inks of nanomaterials with desired rheological features is considered as a crucial step toward the realization of various Nano-based technologies. Unfortunately, in developing the functional inks, additives and binders are used to manipulate the rheological properties which consequently hinders the full utilization of active nanomaterials. As a result, currently, the search for additive-free inks is relentlessly pursuing. In this regard, we would like to design and develop novel inks for the on-demand applications.
