Organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) have reached power conversion efficiencies of 20.2%[1], with a path to exceeding 25% in the near future. Thus, the potential for serving as a significant renewable energy resource depends on whether the requirements of low cost, high efficiency and prolonged lifetime are simultaneously fulfilled. Even with the fulfillment of these properties, OPVs have to serve applications that are qualitatively different than those filled by the incumbent Si-based PV technology. An application where OPVs have a unique opportunity for ubiquitous deployment is in power generating windows since they can be semitransparent (ST) in the visible while strongly absorbing in the infrared. After giving an overview of the status of OPVs, I will discuss strategies explored in our laboratory to fabricate ST-OPVs with transparencies approaching ~50% and efficiencies of 10% or higher. Further, I will describe structures that show extrapolated intrinsic lifetimes of >30 years[2], and short cost payback times.[3] Approaches to scaling the devices into prototype modules whose performance is only reduced by 5% from discrete, small test cells will also be described. Thus, non-fullerene-acceptor-based OPVs can have performance characteristics that meet many of the demands required in building integrated and applied solar energy harvesting applications.
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.
