Proceedings of Asia-Pacific Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics&Optoelectronics (IPEROP25)
Publication date: 17th October 2024
Although photovoltaic technology (PV) is constantly improving and manufacturing costs of the devices are decreasing, 5.5 % of the total global electricity generation from solar cells in 2024 is not sufficient enough [1, 2]. To compete in electricity market photovoltaic technology needs to be further improved with future possibility to replace or complement silicon-based devices. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are technology currently being widely investigated and developed, which demonstrated one of the most significant progress in efficiency, starting from 3.8 % in 2009 to 26.7 % in 2024 [3, 4]. Novel concept of the self-assembling monolayer (SAM) transporting positive charges had a significant impact on the improvement of PSCs [5]. Nevertheless, efficiency of solar cells is also strongly dependent on type of semiconductor selected for electron transport [6]. There aren’t that many organic semiconductors efficient at electron transport and the field is dominated by expensive and not so easily producible fullerene and it's derivatives (e.g., PCBM), therefore it’s important to identify and apply less costly and more economical non-fullerene alternative in PSCs [7, 8].
Our research group, in collaboration with KAUST, has developed organic electron transporting semiconductor PANDI which was used in construction of perovskite solar cells. Using innovative concept of self-assembly the efficiency of PSC was significantly improved. As a result, low-temperature processed PSCs with PANDI self-assembled monolayer as electron-selective contact showed a maximum power conversion efficiency of 21.5%, representing the highest efficiency among n-i-p architecture PSCs with organic electron transporting layers. Solar cells achieved superior long-term stability under operating temperature conditions, compared to devices using SnO2 as n-type semiconductor.
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.
