7th International Symposium on Gas-Phase Synthesis of Functional Nanomaterials 2026

7th International Symposium on Gas-phase Synthesis of Functional Nanomaterials:

Fundamental Understanding, Modeling and Simulation, Scale-up and Application (May 4-6, 2026)

Registrations will be open soon.

Registration deadline: TBD

Abstract deadline: TBD

Gas-phase synthesis provides exciting opportunities towards scalable generation of functional nanomaterials for energy, catalysis, sensing, and health applications. Flames, plasmas, and wall-heated reactors provide complementary formation pathways covering most of the elements in the periodic table. Compared to traditional wet-chemistry approaches, these gas-phase high-temperature synthesis routes increase the range of accessible materials and have advantages for production of industrial quantities of nanoparticles. They enable high-throughput production, fast processing, facilitating process design (manufacturing and collecting), and simplicity (continuous solvent-free one-step process). This Symposium provides the opportunity to present and discuss the latest advances in fundamental understanding, modeling and simulation, in situ diagnostics, scale-up, and application of gas-phase synthesis and particle reactions.

Agenda:

Our symposium provides an opportunity to present and discuss the latest advances in the following topical areas:

  • Fundamentals of Particle Formation, Reaction, and Growth
  • Modeling and Simulation
  • Diagnostics and Data Analysis
  • Scale-up and Application

Keynote lectures

  • TBD

Contributed talks and posters

The symposium will feature contributed talks and poster presentations, with ample opportunity for discussion and networking.
