The change in energy paradigm towards sustainable sources implies the large scale deployment of highly efficient solar technologies. Novel technologies are needed for integration into buildings (lightweight, high incidence angle tolerance and neutral color), windows (semitransparency), greenhouses (complementary transmission with plant needs), infrastructure (robustness, integrability), wearables (lightweight, flexibility), indoor photovoltaics (high tolerance to low irradiances) as well as beyond photovoltaic farms (ever increasing efficiency). Organic based photovoltaics are well suited for this huge challenge, as can be produced with the largest color pallet and transparency degree imaginable, as well as tunable flexibility, lightweight, etc. Indeed, there is an infinite number of molecules that can be synthesized to match our needs. The bottleneck, then, becomes how to identify and screen the best potential candidates and device structures for each application.
In this talk, we will show our current strategy to tackle this challenge: combining high throughput material screening methods [1, 2] with a spectrum on demand light source [3]. First, we will briefly describe a novel methodology for the fast evaluation of organic semiconductor systems for photovoltaics based on samples with gradients in the relevant parameters of interest (thickness, microstructure, composition) coupled to hyperspectral imaging. Then, we will present a combinatorial screening consisting of thousands of solar cells, centered on wide bandgap materials for indoor applications, narrow bandgap for agrivoltaic applications and panchromatic absorption for urban photovoltaics.
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.
