Halide Perovskites
Virtual Only
Physical Chemistry Division
Over the last decade, organic–inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskites have emerged as highly promising photoactive materials for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications. Their exceptional optical and electronic properties have enabled the outstanding performance of hybrid perovskites in devices such as photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, and field-effect transistors. However, these lead-based materials continue to face significant stability challenges, particularly under thermal and humid conditions. To overcome these limitations, dimensional reduction strategies have been employed, giving rise to low-dimensional perovskites with improved ambient stability. These layered structures arise from deliberate structural reconfigurations of their three-dimensional counterparts, modifications that involve unit cell orientation rather than conventional morphological downsizing typical of nanostructures.
This symposium aims to convene researchers working on the advancement of novel halide perovskite phases, from single crystals to nanostructures, developed through innovative solution-processing techniques. Discussions will focus on their intriguing physical properties and versatile potential in energy-related and sustainable technologies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Flash presentations?
They are brief, impactful, and convey information about a novel protocol, perspective, technique, or research results. For instance, one Flash Talk may describe an innovative interdisciplinary research outcome. Another may describe results for a pilot/prototype study.
Can I submit an abstract if I'm not an early career researcher?
Researchers from all career stages are welcome to present their work. However, the format of the presentation will be 8 minutes of talk followed by 2 minutes of Q/A.
What is the submission deadline for abstracts?
The submission deadline for abstracts is September 29, 11:59 PM ET.
What is the required format for abstracts?
Abstracts should be 2500 characters or less and include the title, author(s), and a concise description of your research.
Can I include images or figures in my abstract?
Yes, limited use of images or figures is permitted to enhance your abstract's content.
When will I know if my abstract is accepted?
Presenters can expect to receive their acceptance notices approximately 3 months before the meeting. Scheduling notices are sent periodically starting approximately 2 months before the meeting.
What if I can't attend the symposium on the scheduled date?
The Global Virtual Symposia do not have a provision for recorded talks. Presenters can only present in real-time. However, for any rescheduling requests, please reach out to our symposium chairs and organizers beforehand.
Do I need to register separately if my abstract is accepted?
Yes, accepted presenters will have to register for ACS Spring 2026. Symposium organizers will reach out to confirm their participation.
