Thin-film PV is a key technology for low cost and low environmental impact solar energy conversion. Metal halide perovskites are leading among thin film PV technologies, but challenges remain regarding toxicity of Pb and stability. Motivated by the search for low cost, non-toxic and Earth abundant materials solutions for thin film PV, new inorganic semiconductors with complex compositions are being explored. One of the challenges with material discovery and new material compositions, is their fabrication in thin film form. Challenges such as volatility incompatibility or solvent incompatibility, hinders progress in either high quality material demonstration or functionality via device integration.
In this presentation, we will discuss how the combination of mechanochemical synthesis and pulsed laser deposition (PLD), allows the exploration of novel Earth abundant and non-toxic semiconductors materials. We will explore the development, growth and understanding of semiconductor materials such as Pb-free double perovskites (e.g. Cs2AgBiBr6), new photoactive light-absorbers such as Ag3SI and p-type transparent electrodes such as S-doped and Cs-doped CuI.
In summary, the presentation will highlight how controlled synthesis and material design can make a significant contribution to the emerging generation of efficient and sustainable thin film-based solar cell devices.
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.
