Semiconducting colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have garnered great attention for photovoltaics due to their unique properties, including decoupled crystallization from film deposition, size-tunable bandgap, multiple exciton generation, etc. Nanometer-sized colloidal metal halide perovskite QDs have emerged and brought unique opportunities for photovoltaic application due to the high defect tolerance of perovskite and many features that emerge at the nanoscale. Perovskite QDs or more broadly, nanocrystals, show high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields, spectrally tunable bandgap, flexible compositional control, and crystalline strain benefits. Metal halide perovskite QDs are readily synthesized with exceptional optoelectronic quality opening a route for next generation photovoltaic, as well as exploring LHP physics at the nanoscale.
Since the first report in 2016, perovskite QDs also became a point of interest in photovoltaic research. Currently FAPbI3 QD holds the record efficiency for QD solar cells (over 19%) proving better than any previous QD material composition. This talk will highlight the importance of high-efficiency perovskite QD solar cells, from synthesis to device fabrication. We will discuss current state of the art and lay out many open opportunities in perovskite QD solar cells to achieve approaching 20%, as well as the design and synthesis of conductive perovskite QD ink toward high-efficiency and fast printable solar cells.
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.
