Proceedings of International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV19)

Cyanine dyes were originally developed for use as sensitisors in the photographic industry, but have more recently been exploited as materials for use in organic solar cells [1]. This is as a result of their beneficial properties such as their tuneable absorption wavelength and high extinction coefficients, the latter of which allows for the active layer of the device to be very thin (20 nm). [2]
Typically, cyanine dyes have been used alongside a fullerene-based acceptor, such as C60, in a bilayer heterojunction configuration. However, recent studies have shown that high bulk photoconductivity can be seen in pristine pentamethine cyanine (Cy5) dye films without the presence of a Donor/Acceptor interface. [3]
Here, femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy has been employed alongside other techniques in order to investigate the photophysics of such Cy5 systems, and to begin to rationalise the charge transfer mechanism of these films which result in the reduced Langevin recombination, and therefore long carrier lifetime, that has been reported in these pristine Cy5 films.

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.
