The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly growing ecosystem of billions of smart devices connected together via the cloud, embedding intelligence into infrastructure. But a significant challenge is the reliance of these devices on batteries as the power supply [1]. This talk explores the use of indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) as an alternative, either directly powering the IoT devices, or working in synergy with energy storage devices. Lead-halide perovskites currently demonstrate the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE), now approaching 45% [2]. However, the high lead content could act as a barrier to use in consumer electronics. This talk explores the development of IPVs from lead-free perovskite-inspired materials. We start with our early efforts on bismuth- and antimony-halide materials [3], discussing the challenges and opportunities with silver bismuth halide compounds [4], before covering our recent work with Sb2S3 IPV [5]. In the latter case, we achieve 17.55% PCE under indoor lighting, the highest yet reported for this material, and develop 5 cm2 minimodules as a prototype to power a multisensory device. We finish with the broader challenges and opportunities of the emerging area of perovskite-inspired materials for IPVs.
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.
