Proceedings of 13th Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV21)
Publication date: 11th May 2021
Investigations of photovoltaic devices and semiconductors are essential to enhance the efficiency of preparation methods as well as their electronic and optical properties. Different parameters define these properties, e.g., number of defects and trap states, interface interactions, energy and electron transfer behavior and, of course, absorption properties and response to photon stimulation.
Surface characterization of such materials is usually done with scanning electron, scanning tunnel and atomic-force microscopes, which can gather information about homogeneity, conductivity, carrier mobility and defect center of films, semiconductors or within devices. But there still is a lack of information about important parameters that are necessary for understanding and optimizing the preparation and efficiencies of these materials.
We present here how combining time-resolved laser scanning microscopy – offering a broad range of techniques – with a spectrometer results in a valuable and powerful toolbox. This combination of microscopic (e.g., FLIM, PLIM, fast switch between widefield and confocal resolution, or carrier diffusion measurements) and spectroscopic methods (such as time-resolved photoluminescence or wavelength dependent emission scanning) allows investigating the photophysical properties of semiconductors, nanoparticles, QDs, polymers, solid-states as well as nanostructures on a whole new level. This additional information enables gaining a deeper understanding of both photophysical processes as well as structure-property relationships, which will help for the optimization of properties and efficiencies in practical applications.
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.
