The pursuit of more efficient buildings is driving digitalization, leading to a rapidly growing need for connected sensors. These sensors typically rely on batteries, necessitating costly maintenance to replace them every few years and contributing to a significant environmental impact.
By harnessing ambient energy, the lifespan of batteries can be extended, and in many cases, batteries may become unnecessary. Circumventing the issues with batteries will enable much easier deployment of distributed sensing, facilitating data collection that, in turn, yields a more energy-efficient society. Light is a primary source of ambient energy in buildings, and organic solar cells can be tuned to harvest that light energy with high efficiency. Examples of applications for connected devices suitable for light energy harvesting include electronic shelf labels, asset tracking labels, and consumer electronics such as remote controls.
Epishine, an innovative Swedish company, has developed a scalable manufacturing process for organic solar cells using roll-to-roll printing and lamination technologies. This technology puts Epishine in a favorable position to address the increasing demand for high-performance indoor solar cells. In this presentation, I will provide an overview of Epishine's technology and manufacturing process, as well as present some of Epishine’s internal research efforts based on our unique approach to producing OPV [1]
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.
