WUHAN, China (November 1, 2018) - Wuhan Optoelectronics Forum No. 147 was successfully held in Auditorium A101 at Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) in the morning of November 1. Prof. Yongfang Li from Chinese Academy of Sciences delivered an exciting talk entitled Application of Branched Conjugated Polymers in Organic Solar Cells. Prof. Guoli Tu, from WNLO chaired the forum. Dr. Song Xia, Chair of WNLO committee, awarded Prof. Yongfang Li the forum medal.
Polymer solar cells have the outstanding advantages of simple structure, light weight, easy preparation process and can be flexible or semi-transparent, which have been one of the hot topic research fields in the world. We will review the history of polymer solar cells, key scientific issues in photovoltaic material design and their latest research progress, including the two-dimensional conjugated polymer donor photovoltaic material with conjugated side chains, n-type organic semiconductor acceptor based on non-fullerene photovoltaic material, low cost and efficient photovoltaic materials. In addition, we will also introduce the latest research progress of perovskite solar cells, especially all-inorganic perovskite solar cells.
