To achieve higher electricity generation at a low cost, the most substantial impact on the energy generation from solar cells is to make existing technologies more efficient per area. This forms the focus of tandem solar cells, which utilize different photoactive materials with different bandgaps, allowing benefiting from a broader range of the solar spectrum. Recent advances in perovskites have dramatically improved their efficiency, with tandem devices—particularly those using silicon bottom cells—showing great potential for further performance enhancement. However, the phase instability of wide-bandgap perovskite top cells under prolonged operational conditions, including exposure to light and heat, poses a significant challenge. To solve the issue, different approaches will be discussed; grain boundary, bulk of perovskite, and the interfaces with charge transport layers. For example, recently, we addressed this by improving cation interactions within the perovskite lattice, enhancing phase stability under light and heat. Furthermore, improving the optical properties and reducing recombination losses has been key to achieving a certified efficiency of 33.7% in perovskite-silicon tandem cells, demonstrating both enhanced performance and operational durability. I will discuss how we are addressing these challenges, utilizing optical spectroscopy and comprehensive analysis techniques.
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.
