Dr. Maria Hadjipanayi (UCY) of TESTARE project with her team are co-organizing, with Dr. Markus Kohlstädt from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, Germany and Dr. Anurag Krishna from Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre (imec), the #RECIPE25 Symposium "Reliability and Circularity of Perovskite-Based Photovoltaics - #RECIPE25", in the context of the "Materials for Sustainable Development Conference" which will be held at Sevilla, Spain on 3 -7 March 2025.
Perovskite based photovoltaics have the potential to play a key role as future technology in the renewable generation of electricity from sunlight. Besides scalability and reproducibility of fabrication processes, stability of perovskite-based single or multi-junction devices is a requirement to demonstrate their industrial feasibility. To this end, device encapsulation strategies need to be implemented to realize long lifetimes while being commercially viable and ultimately enabling recycling of materials after the products’ end of life. In this symposium, the stability testing of encapsulated perovskite based solar cells under accelerated stress testing and field testing will be discussed, complemented by insights into the current status of perovskite PV recycling aspects and circularity.
The #RECIPE25 symposium in which TESTARE team is involved, will be focused on a range of topics related to perovskite solar cells (PSCs), stability, accelerated stress tests, field reliability, degradation pathways, circularity and life-cycle analysis.
In this symposium, various aspects of the industrialization of perovskite PV will be discussed. Abstract submission is now open. Please, register below for the Conference before submitting an abstract.
When: 3 March 2025 – 7 March 2025 - Sevilla, Spain.
Symposium Organisers: Dr Maria Hadjipanayi (UCY), Dr. Markus Kohlstädt (Fraunhofer ISE) and Dr Anurag Krishna (imec).
