Proceedings of International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV16)
Publication date: 28th March 2016
Remarkable progress in the development of photovoltaic devices based on hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites shows nowadays more than 20% power conversion efficiencies. However, the AMX3 perovskites (A= Methylammonium, Formamidinium or their mix, M=Lead, and X=I, Br, Cl) suffer from high instability and toxicity. Despite their contribution the materials' superior qualities, stable and benign substitutes are required to replace the volatile organic as well as the toxic lead cations. The ideal replacements should yield stable, environmentally-friendly, inexpensive materials, with comparable properties to the organic and lead-containing perovskites. The main focus of this research is to investigate the all-inorganic, lead-free Cs2SnI6 as an absorber layer for photovoltaic devices. This air-stable perovskite has great potential due to its ideal low bandgap and semiconducting properties, and is implemented and studied as a replacement to the hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites in photovoltaic devices. Moreover, since the Cs2SnI6 is air-stable, it can be synthesized in ambient conditions and the synthesis can be done using several simple low cost methods.
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.
