Perovskite solar cells continue to gain momentum in research and gain in efficiency, and multi-junction perovskite solar cells offer a roadmap to performance levels well beyond that ever possible with single junction silicon or other thin-film technologies. However, operational stability is an area which is understood to be important by the community, but consistently takes a back seat in contemporary perovskite research.
I will present different approaches we have adopted to improving the efficiency, and fundamental stability of the perovskite absorber materials and devices, and highlight degradations which can occur in the bulk of the perovskite absorber materials and induced by the charge extraction heterojunction. I will give further insight into what factors influence stability, and how to mitigate degradation.
Beyond stability, I will highlight how moving from a single absorber layer, to a multijunction cell should lead to much higher efficiencies, and I will show experimental realisation of progress along such a road map.
Beyond laboratory based research, I will highlight our progress towards manufacturing scaleup through the technology company, Oxford PV Ltd., and the key challenges which need to be overcome to deliver an industrialised perovskite PV technology.
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.
