Description: The 2nd International Conference on Magnetism and Its Applications (ICMIA) was organised by the Indonesian Magnetic Society (IMS) and held on June 2-3, 2022, in Prime Plaza Hotel Sanur, Bali, Indonesia. ICMIA is an extension of a long history of magnetic meetings in Indonesia, namely Seminar Bahan Magnet (SMM) or Magnetic Materials Seminar. The last SMM was the 9th meeting held in 2015 in Palembang, organised by the Indonesian Magnetic Club and hosted by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) – Sriwijaya University. The ICMIA in 2019 was the first international conference organized by IMS and the Department of Physics – Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta. The IMS as a form of legal professional organization of the Indonesian Magnetic Club was established in 2018. The conference aims to facilitate an exchange of information to get acquainted and strengthen collaboration among participants. The conference was attended by invited speakers competent in their fields to present the current leading issues on magnetism and its applications. The main concern was that during the pandemic, the conference should follow the public health guideline and apply the bubble system.

Description:

This volume is focused on the materials and devices for solar-to-chemical energy conversion. The introductory paper, by Alim and Bak, considers the basic concepts of the light-induced water oxidation by oxide semiconductors. This paper is concentrated on the photoreactivity of metal oxides, such as TiO₂, with water and the related charge transfer during partial and total oxidation. The second paper of Yang et al provides an overview on the performance of TiO₂ as photoanode in photoelectrochemical water oxidation. The paper of Nasir et al considers application of BiVO₄ as photoelectrode for the generation of solar hydrogen fuel using water as the raw material. The work of Pastuovic et al is a treatise on the application of accelerator-based nuclear techniques in the characterisation of oxide semiconductors for solar energy conversion. This volume is addressed to those interested in the progress of research in oxide materials for solar energy conversion.
