From September 28 to 30, 2024, Prof. Fang Yu and teachers of the Institute of New Concept Sensors and Molecular Materials attended the 4th Chinese Chemical Society Symposium on Photofunctional Materials for Young Scholars held in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province.

Fang Yu chaired the plenary report session on the afternoon of 30 September. At the parallel sessions, Prof. Ding Liping presented a report titled “Research on Creation of Fluorescent Functional Materials and Their Sensing Applications”, Prof. Liu Jing presented a report titled “Research on Self-assembly of Platinum(II) Complexes and Regulation of Luminescent Properties”, Prof. Peng Haonan presented a report titled “Research on Surface Interface Properties of Film Fluorescence Sensing and Toxic Agent Detection Application”, Prof. Bian Hongtao presented a report titled “Research on Typical Semiconductor Photofunctional Materials Interface Spectroscopy and Ultrafast Dynamics”, and Assoc. Prof. Liu Taihong presented a report titled “Creation of Multi-dipole Two-photon Fluorescent Probes and Excited State Dynamics”.

Themed “Photofunctional Materials and Future Technologies”, the conference is co-sponsored by CCS Photochemistry Committee and Xi’an Jiaotong University, and hosted by XJTU’s Institute of Frontier Science and Technology, and covers the topics of luminescent materials, photovoltaic materials, theory of photochemistry, ultrafast spectroscopy, solar energy conversion, photochemical synthesis, nonlinear optical materials, fluorescent probes and bio-imaging, supramolecular photochemistry, biological photochemistry, environmental and atmospheric photochemistry, and other cutting-edge disciplines at the intersection of photochemistry.
