The 16th International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics, took place 13-15th May 2024 in the centre of sunny Valencia, in an antique palace centrally located.
The 16th International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV24) explored the cutting-edge advancements in hybrid and organic solar cells, including perovskite, organic, and other novel solar cells, as well as their integration into complementary photoelectrochemical systems. Building on the success of previous conferences, HOPV 2024 gathered scientists and engineers from around the world to discuss the latest developments in these areas. The event featured renowned invited speakers who covered a broad range of topics in morning plenary sessions, followed by afternoon parallel sessions. The conference devoted special attention to cross-disciplinary discussions and knowledge exchange, highlighting the importance of advanced materials and emerging technologies in the solar energy field. It also featured special sessions on energy policy and career development.
