Proceedings of International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV16)
Publication date: 28th March 2016
Polymer solar cells (PSCs) have been widely studied in the past fifteen years around the world. Significant efforts have been made in all aspects. The low power conversion efficiency (PCE) is one of the key barriers to realise the large-scale commercialisation. In addition, the latest organolead halide perovskite-based PV devices illustrated a rapid increase in the PCE; however, they are also facing significant challenges for the large-scale deployment because of containing highly toxic Pb in the material and poor stability. This report, for the first time, presented a novel approach for developing the light-harvesting photoactive layer for hybrid organic-inorganic photovoltaic devices. A composite photoactive layer by utilising both advantages of conjugated photoactive polymers and organolead halide perovskites has been developed in this work. Photoactive conjugated polymers include a family of organic semiconductive materials that covers a full range of wavelengths for light absorption; e.g. P3HT with 2.0 eV band gap, PTB-7 with 1.81 eV band gap, and PDPP3T with 1.56 eV band gap. This approach offers more flexibility in future in developing halide perovskite-based photoactive layers which can absorb a full-range wavelength of light without sacrificing other properties such as stability of the halide perovskites. This novel approach was demonstrated to obtain high-efficient photovoltaic devices by the solution-processed method. The performance of the photovoltaic devices were characterised. Significant stability was also enhanced compared with photovoltaic devices that are only based on the same type of halide perovskite photoactive layer. Other properties were also studied in this report.
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.
