Organic solar cells allow for unobtrusive integration into surfaces of consumer electronics that are hardly feasible with established technologies. Alongside with excellent low-light performance, both opaque and semi-transparent solar cells can fit arbitrary shapes and match various colors.[1] To date, the main application for photovoltaics is power generation for the electric grid and accordingly the development of photovoltaics focuses on lowering production costs and maximizing power conversion efficiencies under direct sun illumination. Yet, emerging applications for autarkic IoT devices demand rethinking of what the optimization parameters for photovoltaics are.
Here we demonstrate fascinating properties of self-sufficient “Solar Glasses” – sunglasses that feature semi-transparent organic solar cells instead of shaded lenses.[2]
Quite literally hidden in plain sight, the solar cells serve both as light sensors and live power supply for integrated electronics and LC displays simply by harvesting ambient light. This talk dives into the special requirements and novel opportunities for mobile sensor applications and indoor photovoltaics that are remarkably different from classical power harvesting solar cells.
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.
