Highly efficient photoluminescent (PL) (fluorescent) materials – often based on semiconductor quantum dots or organic dyes are finding may applications from lighting (phosphors) to solar-light harvesting (luminescent converters and concentrators). In this contribution, we present out innovative radiometry set-ups and methods [1,2], namely the portable set-up for determination of yield and efficiency of luminescent materials directly under the solar-illumination [3]. This portable set-up is currently applied for studies of the day-time radiative-cooling layers developed in our laboratory and in collaboration with the group of Prof. Santamouris (UNSW Sydney). We are developing methodologies for the most relevant and complete optical characterization of tested materials necessary for modelling and assessment of these materials. Other laboratory radiometry set-ups were developed for measurement of absolute quantum yield over broad spectral range and enable to solve some difficult tasks, like e.g. the measurements of anti-Stokes luminescence quantum yield. The latest task is to measure efficiency of radioluminescent scintilators.
We thank Prof. M. Santamouris and his group (University of New South Wales, Sydney) for fruitful collaboration. This project is supported by the Czech Science Foundation (project 23-06644S).
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.
