Control over the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter is an essential aspect for the development of efficient optoelectronic devices. A paradigmatic example of this statement can be found in the expression for the difference between the actual open circuit voltage attained from a solar cell, VOC, and the maximum ideal one, VOC*, which is given by:[1]
VOC-VOC*=kBT ln(ηext) (1)
, where kB stands for the Boltzmann constant, T for temperature and ηext.for the photoluminescence external quantum efficiency. It implies that reaching the Shockley-Queisser limit [2] for a single-junction solar cell requires materials that are simultaneously good light absorbers and emitters (ηext ≈1) under open circuit conditions.
In this talk, the relevance of an adequate optical design for the new generation of devices based on lead halide perovskites will be discussed and illustrated with real-world systems comprising photovoltaic cells and light emitting devices.[3] Particular emphasis will be put in describing the effect of tailoring the local photonic environment of absorbers and emitters on the device performance, which can be achieved by the integration of different types of optical materials in the device, such as photonic crystals,[4] metallic nanoparticles,[5,6] or dielectric scatterers.[7]
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.
