WS2: Organic and Perovskite Photovoltaics

This workshop will focus on the latest developments in photovoltaic (PV) technologies, with a particular emphasis on emerging PVs. Topics will include perovskite solar cells, high-performance organic solar cells, novel device concepts and implementations, organic-inorganic and hybrid systems, synthesis and characterization of novel materials, advanced photonic processes in perovskite technologies, advances in non-fullerene material acceptors, device physics and modeling, lifetime and device stability, environmental impact and toxicity of PV-related materials, flexible photovoltaics, and large area processing and commercialization.

The workshop will explore fundamental questions and challenges in PV topics with the aim to gather leading researchers to share the recent advances and discuss challenges and future directions for third generation photovoltaics and emerging optoelectronic devices.
