报告内容：

Semiconductor nanomaterials hold the keys for efficient solar energy harvesting anoconversion processes like photocatalysis and photoelectrochemical reactions. ln this talkwe will give a brief overview of our recent progress in designing semiconductolnanomaterials for photoelectrochemical energy conversion including solar hydrogergeneration and low-cost solar cells. In more details, we have been focusing on a fewaspects; 1) photocatalysis mechanism, light harvesting, charge separation and transferand surface reaction engineering of low-cost metal oxide based semiconductorsincluding TiO2, BiVO4 as efficient photoelectrode for photoelectrochemical hydrogenproduction; 2) the working mechanism and stability improvement of perovskitequantum dots for high efficient solar cells; 3). The design of ultra-stable composites ofperovskite-MOF with improved light emitting  performance. The resultant materiasystems exhibited efficient photocatalytic performance and improved power conversionefficiency in solar cells, which underpin sustainable development of solar-energyconversion application
