In the first talk of the second Hot Topics Session Prof. Zuo Xiao reviews the development of non-fullerene acceptors and polymer donors towards the current certified record OPV cells with efficiencies >18% in a single junction. For the donors the most promising materials are fused ring...

Hongbin Wun reports on loss mechanisms in high performance polymer solar cells, demonstrating the advances that have been made with modern non-fullerene acceptors and donor-acceptor molecules in his presentation titled “Assessing efficiency of photoinduced charge separation between electron do...

After Prof. Jen’s inspiring talk on materials design (see previous post) Prof. Morten Madsen from the Mads Clausen Institute at the University of Southern Denmark gave a great review on stability of organic solar cells by detailing various aging mechanisms of all layers in OPV. Surprising results p...

The second tutorial session of the NGSE5 was started out by Prof. Alex K.-Y. Jen from the City University of Hongkong. Prof. Jen is a pioneer in the design of Donor-Acceptor Molecules which helped pushing OPV efficiencies in the past few years. In his tutorial he gave an introduction into materials...

The NGSE5 has kicked off today with a short greeting by Prof. Brabec. The first day featured two great Tutorials. With an average of ca. 210 participants this was the best attended NGSE so far. Opening of the NGSE5 The first Tutorial was held by Prof. Uwe Rau (Forschungszentrum Jülich...

Each year, Clarivate identifies the world’s most influential researchers ─ the select few who have been most frequently cited by their peers over the last decade

As always in December we have our annual Next Generation Solar Energy conference. This time it will take place in both digital and live-meetings format. Current trends in the PV technology will be discussed at the tutorials and hot topics sessions. You can find out more at the conference homepage.

The EU-funded project BOOSTER (“Boost Of Organic Solar Technology for European Radiance”) has successfully kicked off. The project has a duration of four years and involves ten academic and industrial partners from eight different countries. Its aim is the development of organic photovoltaic module...

Sciprios is a spin-off from FAU, which provides R&D equipment for printed opto-electronics, especially in the field of photovoltaics (PV).The goal of the project is the development of an inline laser system for the monolithic interconnection of organic and perovskite PV modules which enables ge...
