Organic, Hybrid, and Perovskite Photovoltaics XXVI

The aim of this meeting is to bring together scientists, engineers, and technologists from multiple disciplines to report on and discuss the fundamental issues that affect device operation, including efficiency and long-term stability. The theme of the conference will be “state-of-the-art” performance of organic, hybrid and perovskite solar cells and photodetector, and their applications in future technologies. The scope of the conference includes high-performance light-harvesting and carrier transporting materials, highly efficient and stable organic, hybrid and perovskite solar cells and photoreactors, as well as device and materials physics including interfaces, film structure and morphology, and charge transport. The conference will also cover new techniques for fabrication, encapsulation, and printing of solar cells on large-area flexible substrates, all aspects with respect to materials and device sustainability, recycling and future upcycling opportunities; as well as how AI, automatization and machine learning can assist advancing these technologies.

The scope of the conference will cover but is not limited to the following areas:

• molecular and macromolecular photovoltaics
• hybrid organic/inorganic photovoltaics (including dye-sensitized solar cells)
• metal halide perovskite solar cells
• tandem and multi-absorber solar cells
• organic and organic/inorganic photodetectors
• plasmonic and photonic structures for light management
• electron and hole transport materials, contacts, electrode materials
• exciton diffusion, charge carrier generation, transport, and recombination
• interface phenomena
• structure/processing/property interrelationships
• large-area processing and fabrication (including encapsulation, printing of solar cells)
• stability, lifetime, and reliability
• sustainability of materials and devices, recycling and upcycling
• automated lab approaches, and including of AI and machine learning.

Highlights:

• A joint session with conference OP217: Physical Chemistry of Interfaces and Nanomaterials

Manuscripts for the conference proceedings will be peer-reviewed.
