Prof Bettina LotschLink opens in a new window joins us from the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research to deliver a talk on "Optoelectronics meets Optoionics: Energy Conversion and Light Storage in 2D Carbon Nitrides."

Known for decades, Liebig's carbon nitrides have evolved into a burgeoning class of macromolecular semiconductors over the past 10+ years, front and center of many efforts revolving around the discovery of resource‐efficient and high‐performance photocatalysts for solar fuel generation. The recent discovery of a new class of “ionic” 2D carbon nitrides—poly(heptazine imide) (PHI)—has given new momentum to this field, driven both by unconventional properties and the prospect of new applications at the intersection between solar energy conversion and electrochemical energy storage.
