The field of photovoltaic (PV) technologies is undergoing a rapid transformation, driven by the demand for high efficiency, cost-effective, and scalable solutions. Emerging PV materials, including perovskites, organic photovoltaics (OPVs), and tandem architectures, are pushing the boundaries of efficiency and stability, with record-breaking power conversion efficiencies (PCE) now at 27% for single-junction perovskites and surpassing 34% in perovskite-silicon tandems. The industry is shifting towards scalable fabrication techniques such as blade coating, slot-die printing, and vapor deposition to enable large-area, high-throughput production while maintaining performance. A key focus in the field is the improvement of long-term stability, as operational lifetimes continue to be a primary barrier to commercialization. Advances in encapsulation, interfacial engineering, and composition tuning have significantly enhanced the durability of next-generation PVs, with stability benchmarks extending beyond 1,000 hours under accelerated aging tests. Additionally, flexible and lightweight PVs are gaining momentum, enabling applications in portable electronics, wearable technology, and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). Mechanical resilience, particularly in thin-film and flexible devices, is becoming a crucial parameter, alongside efficiency and environmental stability. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation in material discovery and device optimization is also accelerating innovation, allowing for rapid screening of new compositions and processing conditions. As research continues to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale performance and real-world implementation, the standardization of testing methodologies and upscaling strategies will be critical in determining the commercial viability of emerging PVs. The ongoing advancements in materials science, device engineering, and manufacturing technologies position photovoltaics at the forefront of the renewable energy transition, paving the way for next-generation solar energy solutions.
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.
