Nowadays renewable energy technologies attracted a lot of attention due to the limitation of fossil fuel. One of the best renewable energy harvesting devices is organic solar cells (OSCs) as bulk heterojunction. The active layer is composed of a blend of donor usually a low bandgap conjugated polymer and acceptor like fullerene (PC71PM) or non-fullerene (Y6). Tremendous efforts have been devoted to increase the power conversion efficiencies (PCE) over 20%[1]. Recently metallooligomers containing Pt(II) metal based on DPP (diketopyrrolopyrrole) are well used, since they display additional optical and opto-electronic features that leads to ultrafast photoinduced electron transfer and the increase of excitons population[2].
The optoelectronic properties of metallooligomers containing OSCs can be enhanced by tuning the structure of DPP to enhance electronic transfer between donor and acceptor and improving π-π inter-chain aggregation by self-assembly to favor charge carrier’s mobility. To enhance the optoelectronic properties and solar cell performances (PCE>15%), my project consists in enhancing the optoelectronic properties and solar cell performances by ① functionalization of the side chains from DPP core with an organizing group as triphenylene[3] with distinct spacers (length, aliphatic, axially conjugated heterocycle) (T) to improve molecular organization , ② the increase of the conjugated backbone planarity to decrease the bandgap (Eg)[4] and finally ③ preparing a new donor whose the molecular design combines the advantages of the two first strategies.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my thesis director, Dr. Cyprien LEMOUCHI, and co-director, Prof. Loïc LE PLUART, for their steadfast support, priceless advice, and thought-provoking conversations during this academic journey. Furthermore, I would like to thank Professor Pierre Harvey of the Chemistry Department at Université de Sherbrooke in Sherbrooke, PQ J1K 2R1, Canada, for his collaboration and his knowledge in the field of photophysical property research. I am also appreciative of Professor Ganesh Sharma's assistance in assessing the effectiveness of solar cell research at the LNM Institute of Information Technology (Deemed University), Jaipur 302031, India.
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.
