#AppTGT - Application Targets for Next Generation Photovoltaics Symposium

The new generation of semiconductor materials such as perovskites and organics are seen as promising candidates to open up new applications for low-cost and low embodied energy, spectrally tuned light harvesting.

This potential is now underpinned by impressive laboratory-scale efficiencies (for example 18% for organic solar cells and > 25% for organohalide perovskites) achieved by sophisticated molecular engineering and a deep understanding of charge generation and voltage loss mechanisms.

The time has now come to drive these technologies into market adoption and certain ‘application targets’ such as indoor light-harvesting for IoT seem ideal platforms to enable this adoption.

This symposium endeavors to gather leading experts from around the world aiming to identify and describe application targets for next-generation photovoltaic devices.

In this regard, the symposium will particularly focus on areas such as state-of-the-art materials for photoactive layers and ancillary components, new material processing and device fabrication techniques, device characterization and simulation, differences in device physics between standard solar illumination, and more bespoke conditions such as indoor lighting, and cost evaluation of technologically relevant ‘whole systems’.

Fluxim`s Dr. Daniele Braga will be presenting :
