Proceedings of International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV24)
Publication date: 6th February 2024
In the context of climate change mitigation, decarbonizing energy infrastructures underscores the pivotal role of transitioning to renewable energy sources. Important to notice, that approximately half of our energy demand is used for heating or cooling. Therefore effective harvesting and storage of thermal energy is the same as important as energy harvested with photovoltaic.
This presentation explores the synergies between photovoltaic and thermal energy harvesting, emphasizing their complementary nature in realizing the concept of energy-neutral buildings. Recognizing the importance of efficient energy storage, the focus extends to technologies dedicated to storing energy in the form of heat. The discussion delves into the benefits of thermal energy storage, with a particular emphasis on its alignment with the substantial demand for heating. The presentation further outlines a specific business case, illustrating the collection of electric energy through photovoltaics and its storage in the form of heat.
The overarching goal is to broaden the application scope of solar energy, showcasing the potential and perspectives of thermal energy harvesting and storage. By establishing robust connections between diverse energy technologies, the presentation aims to contribute to a holistic understanding of sustainable energy solutions.
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.
