Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs) is an emerging technology that will revolutionize the generation of electricity by renewable sources. OPVs are characterized by their low cost, lightweight, flexible, semi-transparent nature, and compatibility with large-scale production techniques like Roll-to-Roll processing, that make them attractive for numerous mass-market application areas. The enormous effort in the science and technology of OPVs led to many achievements in terms of device efficiencies. Several research groups & companies have announced very high device efficiencies. However, in order for OPVs to be implemented for mass production, there are still open issues to be overcome, as the lower efficiency values and shorter lifetimes in comparison to other PV technologies (e.g. inorganic PVs).
Also, Perovskite PVs are an emerging field and rapidly expanding field which will revolutionize PV technology and applications since it combines simple and low-cost manufacturing methods with remarkable device efficiencies, often surpassing 20%. These PVs have enormous commercial potential for implementation to consumer applications for the market in the near future. Despite these promising attributes, the broader adoption of perovskite PVs hinges on overcoming critical challenges such as stability and toxicity concerns.
The OPVs and Perovskite PVs Workshop addresses key topics including materials synthesis, interface engineering, device architectures, stability, and environmental impact. Discussions cover advancements in nanomaterials, donor-acceptor interfaces, lead-free alternatives, and morphology control. Additionally, the workshop explores device modeling, large-scale manufacturing, and novel fabrication methods like printing and vacuum technologies. Considerations for indoor applications and sustainability are also examined, making it a vital platform for the advancement of photovoltaic technologies.
