Proceedings of International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV23)
Publication date: 30th March 2023
Here we focus on comparing these processes between organic solar cells (OSCs) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs), with the hope this comparison will provide new insights and help the OSC and PSC communities learn and adapt successful strategies from each other. Whilst OSCs and PSCs share similar device architectures and often similar charge extraction layers and metal contact, the intrinsic properties of the light absorbing layers show obvious differences in both systems. These include differences in photoinduced charge generation (exciton separation in OSCs versus direct photoexcitation in PSCs), charge transport (hopping-like transport in organic semiconductors versus band-like transport in perovskite semiconductors), the presence of a donor:acceptor bulk heterojunction in most OSCs, and the presence of relatively mobile ions in PSCs. Here, we address how these different intrinsic materials properties result in differences in device function and performance, and how knowledge and device models developed for one technology can be successfully applied to the other. We start by focusing on the similarities and differences in device architecture, materials and operating principles between these two technologies. We move on to discuss charge generation and separation, and in particular lessons from ultrafast transient absorption and photoluminescence studies. We address charge transport, trapping and recombination, and the competition between charge extraction and bimolecular recombination, focusing in particular on lessons from transient optoelectronic analyses. Finally, we summarise materials and device design guidelines developed from these studies to guide further enhancement in device performance for both OSCs and PSCs.
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.
