Proceedings of International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV16)
Publication date: 28th March 2016
Solution-processed solar cells utilising Organic or Perovskite absorber materials are a low-cost alternative to established and emerging inorganic technologies. Printing and coating techniques provide an affordable and scalable route to manufacture these Organic or Perovskite solar cells from solution and under atmospheric conditions.
SPECIFIC (Swansea University), along with other academic and commercial institutions have demonstrated significant success with the solution-processing of Organic and Perovskite materials for the generation of electrical power. A number of printing and coating techniques have been demonstrated on rigid glass, and flexible substrates such as plastic and metallic foils. The printing and coating techniques are typically employed as batch processes on a series of discrete substrates. This poster presents recent work to translate developments in batch processing on flexible substrates into a continuous process using a Roll 2 Roll (R2R) coating line (Coateema Smart-Coater). Preliminary findings and developments are described as the journey towards a device fully-manufactured by R2R processing continues.
This R2R approach allows high-throughput manufacturing onto flexible substrates, a prospect of significant importance to the commercialisation of low-cost large-area solar cells by solution processing.
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.
