Abstract
Photovoltaic based energy devices and their ability to supply sustainable energy from renewable energy sources encompasses a number of overlapping disciplinary areas. While semi-conductor physics, material fabrication and design and device engineering have substantially advanced the domain of photovoltaics considerably, the impact of bio-convergence in photovoltaics is considerably less recognised for fabricating energy harnessing materials.
An important directive in implementing solar powered energy effectively lies in enhancing the capture of solar energy while minimizing the cost of device fabrication and usage. Here, we view nature as an engineering challenge at the biological scale. In the context of biologically driven systems, efforts are being directed to understand the underlying principles that govern nature’s material inventory located within its bio-factory to mimic structural and functional features inherent to these systems. We assert that there is a need re-conceptualize the way materials are created to accelerate innovation of photovoltaics.
Herein, we draw upon parallels with synthetic approaches to help shape material characteristics to mimic some key biological / biosynthetic features such as size dependent quantum scale confinement and narrow size distribution of QDs, higher photosensitivity to the broader range of photons and their adsorption via band gap engineering as they relate to electronic transitions and energy emissions. Another important aspect to better device development is improving electrode conductance of cheaper non-conventional materials through biomimetic means.
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.
