The field of photovoltaics has seen significant developments in recent years. Among the available technologies, dye sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) have attracted considerable attention[1]. Here, the majority of the research efforts are centred on the dye sensitizer, since it influences many of the key electron transfer processes that impact photovoltaic performance. Designing new dyes requires various aspects (wide absorption in the visible region, high molar extinction coefficients, photochemical stability, stable oxide surface anchoring etc.) to be taken into account. The traditional routes adopted thus far involve the determination of relevant properties of a large number of potential candidates, via high-throughput experiments or computations[2]. This approach, however, is laborious and time-consuming.
With a view to streamline the design process, we have combined data-driven approaches with Darwin-inspired evolutionary algorithms[3,4,5]. While the former makes use of statistics and machine learning to provide on-demand property estimates, the latter optimises constituent fragments of the dye molecule in a synthetically tractable manner, leading to the design of dyes with given target properties[6]. In this presentation, we demonstrate how data-driven molecular engineering can be gainfully employed to accelerate materials discovery. We will also present other applications of the method for designing dye-based optical filters for low cost fluorescence detection.
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.
