Proceedings of 13th Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV21)
Publication date: 11th May 2021
Over the years, luminescence spectroscopy has established itself as one of the fundamental methods for analyzing the photophysical properties of a variety of samples, ranging from simple organic molecules to semiconductor materials and photovoltaic (PV) devices. Combining spectral and lifetime information of a sample’s luminescence signals provide a deeper insight into its photophysical processes. This can be further enhanced by including spatial information. Acquiring steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic data at multiple, well defined points of interest (POI) of the sample can help in inferring structural-to-photophysical relationships in PV materials. Gathering such information is an important step toward the optimization of structure as well as preparation process of such materials in order to increase the performance of PV devices.
Here we will demonstrate the performance of a spectrometer-microscope assembly based on the FluoTime300 spectrometer and FluoMic add-on for investigating a Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) based solar cell in terms of steady-sate and time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy at different micrometer sized POIs. We will show that acquiring data at well defined excitation / detection areas can provide deeper insights into relationships between structure and photophysical behavior of CIGS solar cells. This additional information are not readily available when investigating such a sample with a conventional spectrometer as the luminescence signal is averaged over a much lager area (typically 1 mm2 or more).
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.
