DESCRIPTION:Semiconductor nanomaterials hold the keys for efficient solar 
 energy harvesting and conversion processes like photocatalysis and photoel
 ectrochemical reactions. In this talk\, we will give a brief overview of o
 ur recent progress in designing semiconductor nanomaterials for photoelect
 rochemical energy conversion including solar hydrogen generation and low-c
 ost solar cells. In more details\, we have been focusing on a few aspects\
 ; 1) photocatalysis mechanism\, light harvesting\, charge separation and t
 ransfer and surface reaction engineering of low-cost metal oxide based sem
 iconductors including TiO2\, BiVO4 as efficient photoelectrode for photoel
 ectrochemical hydrogen production\; 2) the working mechanism and stability
  improvement of perovskite quantum dots for high efficient solar cells\; 3
 ). The design of ultra-stable composites of perovskite-MOF with improved l
 ight emitting performance.1-7 The resultant material systems exhibited eff
 icient photocatalytic performance and improved power conversion efficiency
  in solar cells\, which underpin sustainable development of solar-energy c
 onversion application.
