Gerischer also studied a series of photoactive interfaces, providing another emphasis of the Symposium on the development of novel materials and new combinations for various energy conversion. His concept of decomposition potentials directly addresses a main challenge of energy conversion at a reactive interface: stability, which will be a topic of focus as well. Presentations highlighted present advances in surface- and interface science, including in-situ and operando techniques, which allow us new and deepened insight into semiconductors and catalytic processes, especially through the use of soft and tender x-rays at synchrotron.

Accordingly, the Gerischer Today meeting addressed the processes, the materials and the interfaces in photoelectrochemical systems and was broadly open to the interested community. The Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI) in Boulder, Colorado hosted the Symposium and it was co-organized with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the Fritz-Haber-Institute of the Max Planck Society (FHI) where Prof. Gerischer was affiliated.

An international array of participants and speakers participated in this three day Symposium that begab on the afternoon of August 14, 2018 and ran through to noon on August 16. This conference included a half-day tutorial session, taught by Prof. Lewis, Dr. Spitler, and Prof. Parkinson, on Gerischer electrochemistry, that was held on the morning of August 14.
