WUHAN, China (December 23, 2015) - Wuhan Optoelectronics Forum No. 109 was successfully held in Auditorium A101 at Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) in the morning of December 23.
Advances in controlled synthesis, processing, and tuning of the properties of organic conjugated polymers and perovskites have enabled significantly enhanced performance of organic and hybrid electronic devices. The performance of polymer and hybrid solar cells is strongly dependent on their efficiency in harvesting light, exciton dissociation, charge transport, and charge collection at the metal/organic/metal oxide or the metal/perovskite/metal oxide interfaces. In this talk, the integrated approach of combining material design, interface, and device engineering to significantly improve the performance of polymer and hybrid perovskite photovoltaic cells (PCE of >18%) will be discussed. At the end, several new device architectures and optical engineering strategies to make tandem cells and semitransparent solar cells will be discussed to explore the full promise of polymer and perovskite hybrid solar cells.
