Printable organic photovoltaic solar cells (OPV), i.e. polymer solar cells, have now reached impressive power conversion efficiencies at lab scale up to 19%. It is one crucial milestone towards the deployment of OPV products in real life. OPV holds many promisses including potential low cost, large scale, low temperature processing, low energy payback time, low carbon footprint for the production of photovoltaic modules exempt of critical raw materials. However, today, not all are yet scientifically achieved. For example, commercially available OPV modules suffer from low PCE, from 3 to 5 % (30-50 Wp/m2) and are made with still costly raw materials mostly processed from organic solvents. It is a matter of time for the industrial players to catch up with recent academic research to push industrial OPV performances further. This presentation will focuss on three of our recent results: (1) a doping strategy to enable a homojunction hole exctration layer for improved efficiency and stability of OPV, (2) the processing of OPV active layer from water based inks as the ultimate non-toxic, responsible printing with record efficiencies thanks to nanoparticules control and surface energy matching, (3) the investigation on the impact of synthesis impurities, such as metal catalyst residues, on the performances of OPV to design a strategy for cost-effective purification of raw materials. The presentation will close on some real life outdoor OPV energy yield considerations. Will be presented the results on recent products from Héole for marine decarbonation, such as the first OPV sail designed full-sized (92 m2) on a 52” catamaran, released in spring 2022, under testing since then.
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.
