Metal halide perovskites constitute a very attractive class of materials for optoelectronic applications, including solar cells, light-emitting diodes, lasers, and photodetectors. Most notably, solid-state photovoltaic devices have reached a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 26% within only a decade of academic research.
In my talk I will discuss the special case of perovskite PV technology, focusing on devices made on flexible substrates, outlining industrial opportunities of this technology, with new value propositions and market versatility. One of the exceptional features of metal halide perovskites is bandgap tunability in a broad spectral range, which enables the facile fabrication of multijunction all-perovskite PV systems. I will address the topic of all-perovskite tandems, discussing the challenges of scalable production.
Moreover, I will provide insight into physical processes occurring during solar cell operation, especially at the interfaces with charge selective contacts, where most of the performance losses take place. Importantly, these non-optimal operations have a major influence on the long-term device reliability. Systematic interfacial engineering, combined with spectroscopic characterization of recombination losses, can lead to significant improvements in performance and stability. I will demonstrate flexible perovskite solar cells successfully passing IEC-based accelerated aging tests, where device engineering was complemented with robust flexible packaging.
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.
