Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are an emerging photovoltaic technology that offers a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional silicon-based solar cells. Among the various PSC configurations, printable mesoscopic carbon perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs) are particularly promising due to their superior environmental stability and potential for scalable, low-cost manufacturing [1,2].
As global efforts to reduce carbon emissions intensify, integrating circular economy principles, such as remanufacturing, into the design of energy technologies is becoming increasingly important. Incorporating remanufacturing strategies at the current research and development stage of scalable perovskite technologies, can enhance both sustainability and competitiveness by extending device lifetimes, minimising material waste, and reducing emissions associated with production.
In this work, we explore the remanufacturing potential of C-PSCs using a facile, non-toxic, solvent-based recovery approach with gamma-Valerolactone. By integrating advanced photochemical and materials characterisation techniques, we evaluate the effectiveness of this strategy and its impact on device performance, shedding light on the effects of the process and the potential trade-offs between remanufacturing and performance.
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.
