Photovoltaics reshaped – Unlimited design opportunities enabled by printed organic solar cells
Dr Sebastian Meier (ASCA/ARMOR)
Tuesday 25 Apr 2023
The ability to translate thin photovoltaic films into any shape and their integration into any kind of surface is a game changer. It also creates a paradigm shift in the energy sector as energy can now be generated and consumed directly at the point of use.
The talk will focus on ASCA’s pioneering work in the commercialisation of OPV and the [...]

From Lab to Fab: how nanoscale aluminium oxide enabled PERC and TOPCon to dominate the photovoltaic market
Professor Bram Hoex UNSW, Sydney
Thursday 20 Apr 2023 | Hume-Rothery Lecture Theatre
A Special Departmental Colloquium
Abstract:
In this talk I will describe the development of nanoscale aluminium oxide for the passivation of p-type silicon surfaces from its initial discovery in the laboratory to its current dominance in the photovoltaic industry with annual production in excess of 200 GW in 2022.
I will start off with a high-level introduction into the fabrication of high-efficiency silicon [...]

Energy Seminar – Week 8: Organic Photovoltaics: Ubiquitous Solar Energy?
Moritz Riede, speaking in person and online SLIDES AVAILABLE ON REQUEST info@energy.ox.ac.uk
Seminar | Week 8 | Tuesday 07 Mar 2023 | Atmosphere Room - ECI OUCE
Summary: Organic Photovoltaics, OPV, is an emerging solar cell technology at the early stages of commercialisation. It has several advantages compared to silicon photovoltaics, the incumbent technology, like a much lower environmental footprint, lightweight and mechanical flexibility for endless new applications as well as the potential to compete with silicon PV in cost. However, will this be enough? In this [...]
