While very promising results are continuously being published to address the still somewhat lacking performance*stability product for AM1.5 / outdoor OPV devices, there are less demanding markets where OPV can initially be commercialized. One of these is the indoor PV (IPV) market, which Epishine is currently delivering products to. Deployed as an IPV platform, OPV can truly utilize its unique combination of features such as non-toxicity, tunable bandgap, shatter immunity and ease of integration.
For the IPV case the odds are instead stacked in favor of OPV. Less than 1/100 of the flux, spectrum confined to the visible and very moderate climate; room temperature and an absolute absence of hailstorms. Here, OPV is no long struggling in the up-hill battle to catch up to the gold standard of silicon, rather it is a prime contender in terms of performance and arguably the leader in terms of price*performance in comparison to other semiconductors. Still, the path from lab to fab+market requires a combination of science and engineering as well as an appreciation for where the (scalable) market opportunities lie.
In this talk, the path from idea to product will be discussed in moderate detail.
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.
