The 9th International Conference on Semiconductor Photochemistry (SP9), held in Madrid 8–12 September 2025, presented a compelling convergence of researchers at the interface of photocatalysis, semiconductor photochemistry, and solar-driven processes. The conference spotlighted topics such as solar-to-electricity conversion, air and water remediation, solar fuels, new materials, operando/in-situ characterization and the transition from research to industrial application, underscoring both the state-of-the-art and future challenges in the field.
Dr. Duarte, ICIQ MSCA PF, made an oral contribution entitled, “Synthetic Protein Scaffolds for Customizable Chromophores Interactions in Energy Conversion Applications” to present the latest findings of his project: deBioLed.
