Tecnologías Fotovoltaicas Emergentes 2016-2017

Research Workshop: Fundamental Processes in Perovskite and Thin Film Solar Cells (EMTECH) - Seville, 2-3 October 2017

Organizers: Juan Antonio Anta (Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Spain) and Hernán Míguez (Instituto de Ciencia de los Materiales de Sevilla, Spain)

The purpose of the workshop was the presentation and discussion of works related to the latest developments of thin-film solar cells, especially perovskite hybrid metal-organic but also related concepts, with special emphasis on the fundamental understanding of those optical and electronic processes (absorption, photonics, selective contacts, electronic and ionic transport, recombination, hysteresis...) that determine its operation, efficiency and stability. The workshop also aims to be a meeting point for researchers and students of the Spanish scientific community dedicated to these issues, but will also be open to the participation of researchers from other countries. Likewise, the participation of researchers in training, who will be able to attend talks developed by the main experts, and also present their own achievements, will be favored in a special way.

Invited speakers: Miguel Anaya (Instituto de Ciencia de los Materiales de Sevilla (CSIC)), Eva Barea (Universitat Jaume I), Juan Bisquert (Universitat Jaume I), Mauricio E. Calvo (Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Sevilla (ICMS-CSIC)), Vladimir Chirvony (Universidad de Valencia), Gustavo de Miguel Rojas (Universidad de Córdoba), Juan Galisteo-López (ICMS-CSIC), Alejandro Goñi ( (CSIC - ICMAB)), Jesús Idígoras (Universidad Pablo de Olavide), Pilar Lopez-Varo (Universidad de Granada), Laura Miranda (OxfordPV), Iván Mora-Seró (Universitat Jaume I), Javier Navas (Universidad de Cádiz), Gerko Oskam (CINVESTAV, México), Pablo Perez-Boix (Universitat de València), Juan Ramón Sánchez-Valencia (Instituto de Ciencia de los Materiales de Sevilla (CSIC)), Eugenia Zugasti (CENER)

Research Workshop for Young Researchers Thin Film Emerging Photovoltaic and Optoelectronic Technologies (EMTECH) - Barcelona, 27-28 April 2017

Organizers: Mariano Campoy Quiles (ICMAB-CSIC, Spain) and Alejandro Pérez Rodríguez (IREC and Universitat de Barcelona, Spain)

This meeting presented the research landscape in emerging thin-layer technologies, with optoelectronic applications (such as light emission) and energetic (mainly photovoltaic) applications. For this purpose, materials deposited as thin layers (thin film) with their corresponding contacts are used in a generic way. Active components of these emerging technologies include inorganic organic hybrid materials, molecular materials, 2D materials, high performance hybrid perovskites in photovoltaics, and quantum dots. The meeting also aimed to be a forum for discussion of new concepts in devices, such as semitransparent devices, devices enhanced by the use of photonics, or nanophotovoltaics. The meeting aims to integrate different areas of research, and facilitate the participation of young researchers, who may attend lectures developed by leading experts, and also present their own achievements, and establish numerous partnerships.

Invited speakers: Ramón Alcubilla (UPC), Juan A. Anta (UPO), Francisco Fabregat (UJI), F. Pelayo Garcia de Arquer (University of Toronto), Gerasimos Konstantatos (ICFO), Juan P. Martinez Pastor (UV), Jordi Martorell (ICFO), Agustín Mihi (ICMAB), Edgardo Saucedo (IREC), David M. Tanenbaum (Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Research Center)

Research Workshop for Young Researchers Thin Film Emerging Photovoltaic and Optoelectronic Technologies (EMTECH) - Valencia, 17-18 November 2016

Organizers: Juan Bisquert (Universitat Jaume I, Spain) and Juan Martínez Pastor (Universitat de València, Spain)

This meeting aimed to present the research landscape in emerging thin-film technologies, with applications in capture, conversion and energy storage, and optoelectronic. These emerging technologies are to develop devices for certain applications, such as photovoltaic and light emission. For this, thin film materials and the corresponding contacts are used. These materials combine organic and inorganic elements, for example, but not exclusively, hybrid organic inorganic materials, molecular materials, 2D materials, the new hybrid perovskite solar cells of high performance; quantum dots, the nanophotovoltaic. Additionally, optoelectronic applications of these materials are explored. The meeting aimed to integrate different areas of research, and facilitate the participation of young researchers, who may attend lectures developed by leading experts, and also present their own achievements, and establish numerous partnerships.
