Research Infrastructure Department, NCBJ will co-organize a symposium entitled “Metal oxide nanomaterials for advanced optoelectronics and environmental applications” during the E-MRS Fall Meeting 2026, which will take place on September 14–17, 2026 in Warsaw, Poland.

The aim of the symposium is to bring together a broad scientific community with the latest scientific developments in the preparation and properties of Metal Oxides (MOX) thin films, nanostructures and heterojunctions and their applications in:

• optoelectronics with emphasis on TCO, light emitting diodes and flexible electronics,
• photocatalysis and photoelectrochemistry including hydrogen production and decontamination, 
• energy production and storage including low-emissivity coatings.

Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:

• fabrication and characterization of thin film metal oxides including different deposition methods (magnetron sputtering, ALD, spray pyrolysis, sol gel method etc.),
• nanowires, nanoparticles and other nanostructures,
• bandgap engineering in oxides using doping, strain and heterostructures formation, 
• enhanced performance of light emitting diodes and thin film transistors, 
• transparent conductive oxides, 
• materials for photocatalysis and photoelectrochemistry, 
• oxides for supercapacitors and battery applications, 
• piezoelectric ceramics, 
• oxides for high power electronics and beyond, 
• phase change oxides.

Symposium organizers:

• Cyprian Mieszczyński (NCBJ, Poland),
• Giuliana Impellizzeri (CNR-IMM, Italy),
• David Horwat (Université de Lorraine, CNRS, IJL, France),
• Slawomir Prucnal (HZDR, Germany).

Abstract submission deadline: June 1st, 2026
