The escalating demand for solar energy highlights the critical need for advancing more efficient next-generation photovoltaic (PV) technologies. Currently, perovskite-based single junction and tandem solar cells are reaching or even exceeding the performance of established technologies like three-five tandem and GaAs solar cells. In the case of perovskite versus GaAs, employing nanophotonics to fine-tune the PV bandgap emerges as a viable strategy, especially when reaching the limits of composition engineering of FAPbI3. Tandem solar cells present another practical approach to surpass the single-junction Shockley-Queisser limit. Our initial efforts concentrated on solution-coating thick perovskite layers onto small, textured silicon substrates, successfully proving the concept's viability. In Singapore, we are actively working to shift this technology from laboratory research to manufacturing, focusing on applying perovskite layers to industrial Czochralski (CZ) silicon wafers. With cooperative efforts, our goal is to propel this technology from lab-scale to full-scale fabrication, aiming to surpass the performance of three-five PVs in full module size, thereby addressing the growing global energy demands with more efficient solar solutions.
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.
