A crucial issue facing polymer-based solar cells is how to maximize short-circuit current density (Jsc) and open-circuit voltage (Voc) at the same time and thus the power conversion efficiency. A key to resolving the issue is to reduce the relatively large photon energy loss, which is defined by the difference between the optical bandgap of the material and Voc. Here, I will show that a semiconducting polymer based on naphthobisoxadiazole (PNOz4T) [1], having a narrow bandgap of 1.52 eV, can give high Voc of approximately 1 V with relatively high efficiencies of more than 8%, when combined with PC71BM. As a result, the photon energy loss was found to be as small as 0.52 eV, which is much smaller than that of typical high performance polymer/fullerene systems and approaches the values of inorganic and perovskite solar cells. It is also interesting to note that the efficiency of the PNOz4T system is one of the highest values among the polymer/fullerene cells with such small photon energy loss.[2] I will also show ternary blend system with well controlled energetic alignment can give small photon energy loss of less than 0.5 eV.
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.
