Perovskite solar cells have rapidly transitioned from laboratory research to a commercially promising photovoltaic technology within just over a decade, driven by their high power conversion efficiency, low-cost production, and excellent performance in low-light conditions. Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites combine the solution-processability of organic materials with the robust optoelectronic properties of crystalline inorganic semiconductors, creating a versatile material platform that outperforms conventional photovoltaic technologies in specific applications.
To enable scalable and environmentally responsible production, sustainable and industry-compatible processing methods are essential. This begins with the development of green synthesis routes for perovskite precursors. Solaveni, a German innovator, has introduced sustainable synthesis techniques for organic alkylammonium halides and metal halides using novel green halide chemistry. This presentation evaluates these synthesis routes through a life cycle assessment (LCA), comparing their environmental impacts—resource use, energy consumption, and emissions—against traditional methods. The LCA provides critical insights into the sustainability of these precursors, informing strategies to minimize the ecological footprint of perovskite photovoltaics. Additionally, innovative recycling and upcycling methods for perovskites are introduced, enabling rapid material recovery and fostering a circular economy. These advancements pave the way for sustainable, high-performance perovskite solar technologies with reduced environmental impact.
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.
