Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as one of the most promising next-generation photovoltaic technologies, owing to their high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and relatively simple fabrication processes. Laboratory-scale devices have already surpassed 27% efficiency, and large-area modules have approached PCE of 20%, attracting broad interest from both academia and industry. Now, numerous companies are actively exploring commercialization pathways. Nevertheless, long-term operational stability and cost control remain the primary barriers to large-scale deployment. In this presentation, I will introduce the progress in the commercialization of PSCs with a particular focus on module manufacturing costs and levelized cost of electricity[1]. A comparison with crystalline silicon solar cells is presented to evaluate the economic potential of PSCs. Based on this analysis, key research and development are proposed from a cost perspective. Furthermore, I will introduce our researcher works on promoting the efficiency and stability of PSCs from aspects of crystallization, passivation, and ion-migration blocking. Especially, we constructed a composite electrode of copper-nickel (Cu-Ni) alloy stabilized by in situ grown bifacial graphene[2]. The device with the copper-nickel electrode showed an efficiency over 24% (1cm2) and stability: 95% of their initial efficiency is retained after 5,000 hours at maximum power point tracking under continuous 1 sun illumination.
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.
