Proceedings of International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV16)
Publication date: 28th March 2016
The numerous advantages of perovskite-based photovoltaic cells have been well acknowledged over the past several years. These include demonstrated high efficiency, direct and tunable bandgap, flexible and forgiving synthesis routes. Equally well-known are the challenges associated with material stability, moisture sensitivity, and the presence of lead in the most common formulation. A commercial product not only must meet those basic requirements but numerous others to meet customer and commercial requirements. Other commercial thin-film PV technologies including CdTe and CIGS spent many years going from the lab to a fabrication environment. Commercial Si solar panels, 92% of the market, have warranties of 10 or more years and expected usable lifetimes longer than 25 years, Perovskite technology must compete with those figures and for the case of 2-terminal tandem configurations with silicon, must impact the module reliability negatively. We compare reliability of silicon PV with perovskite.In order to have a complete understanding of the commercial viability of a PV process, we will contrast the life cycle assessment (LCA) of perovskite PV systems with other commercial PV technologies. The LCA data will help forecast the manufacturing process and predict the commercial success potential of perovskite systems. We will also examine the environmental impact of the Pb content and present a view of the statutory and regulatory situation that applies to this technology. Finally, we will look at requirements for recycling that may be necessary.
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.
