Organic semiconductors have found application in a number of optoelectronic technologies, most notably light emitting diodes (LEDs) and photovoltaics (PV). While organic LEDs (OLEDs) have been in the market for quite some time, organic PV (OPV) is still in its infancy. It is expected that OPV will however find application in a number of emergent applications such as indoor lighting for IoT, aerospace and in agricultural settings (agriPV) due to a number of material and electronic properties (lightweight low-cost materials, high-throughput processing, tuneable electronic properties).[1,2,3] AgriPV in particular is gaining a lot of attention recently thanks to the inherent light-weight and semi-transparent active areas found in OPV, advances in efficiencies and lifetimes, and the inherent ability to tune the bandgap of active layer materials to transmit photons in the photoactive region (PAR) of photosynthesis and absorb light outside of the PAR. [4,5] In this talk I will discuss our initial work in exploring the application of OPV in greenhouse, polytunnel and field applications as well as the challenges involved when scaling ST-OPV devices from the lab to prototype modules.
In addition to OLEDs and OPV, organic semiconductors have been used to fabricate a number of other electronic and optoelectronic devices including photodetectors, transistors, electrochemical transistors, and pseudocapacitors. [6] Organic semiconductors are also emerging as potential materials for neuromorphic computing applications, and is an area that we have are exploring with great interest. [7] I will highlight our recent work in this area, including a study based on a small-molecule nanowire array that demonstrated multi-state memory, non-volatile memory retention and the ability to write a variety of conductance states. [8] There is great scope to further develop this area of research and I will provide a perspective on how this may be achieved.
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.
