As the demand for renewable energy rises, coupled with the depletion of non-renewable energy resources, solid-state dye-sensitised solar cells (ss-DSCs) are becoming an increasingly important third-generation photovoltaic technology. They offer a more stable alternative to dye-sensitised solar cells containing a liquid electrolyte, but further research and optimisation is required for them to be a viable alternative with a competitive efficiency.
Increasing the efficiency of the devices requires optimisation of each layer, that when done manually can be time-consuming, often result in variation between solar cells, and even lead to non-uniformity of a specific layer within the solar cell. We have shown that fabrication processes involved in constructing the device that have previously been done manually, such as creating the electrode pattern, depositing the blocking layer, synthesising metal oxides at specific stoichiometries and depositing the mesoporous metal oxide layer can all be automated. With this system, a wider variety of etching designs can be achieved and key parameters such as material thickness can be manipulated easily and precisely from a computer. This reduces hands-on time for the researcher, improves productivity, and increases the reproducibility and uniformity of each layer of the solar cell, which is vital for the upscale of device fabrication.
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.
