Proceedings of International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV18)
Publication date: 21st February 2018
Mass spectrometry (MS), in general, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization MS, in particular, are widely employed in life science. In contrast, in the hybrid solar cell research field, this characterization method has been used unreasonably rarely. However, due to its great potential to provide the unique information on molecular processes in solar cells, MS deserves to become a part of the solar cell research toolbox.
A great advantage of the mentioned MS-based surface analytical technique is that it allows examination of solar cells as they are without preliminary extraction of the analytes.
The following applications of MS will be covered in the talk:
1. Degradation studies in dye-sensitized and perovskite solar cells;
2. Dye-electrolyte interaction studies in dye-sensitized solar cells with liquid electrolyte;
3. Analysis of conductive polymers (Mw, Mn, end-groups) in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells.
MS has made a revolution in life science (Fenn and Tanaka were awarded the Nobel prize "for their development of soft desorption ionization methods for MS analyses of biological macromolecules"), and it has potential to make a revolution in the field of solar energy.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
