The 29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition will take place in 2014 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. On behalf of the Scientific Committee it is my honour and pleasure to invite you to submit an abstract with your latest scientific achievements and findings in the entire spectrum of photovoltaics ranging from fundamental material research to policy assessments. To guarantee the scientific quality of the programme, each abstract is scored by three independent reviewers before the topic organisers – at least two for each subtopic – select the oral and visual presentations.
Sunlight can contract the space between atomic layers in 2D perovskites, improving the material’s photovoltaic efficiency by up to 18%.
A new low-temperature process for fabricating bifacial thin-film CIGS solar cells can greatly improve their energy-conversion efficiency.
Using various analytical techniques, researchers have established how hydrogen bonding plays a key role in the performance of perovskite solar cells.
A thin layer of fullerene molecules allows electrons to travel further than previously thought possible in organic solar cells and organic semiconductors.
