This conference brings together leading researchers in the field of excitonic solar cells with a focus on organic systems. Topics will address fundamental aspects such as: materials design, synthesis, and growth; combinatorial materials development (both experimental and computational); photophysics and exciton dynamics; charge generation, transport, and recombination studies; models of device physics; interface and electrode optimization; multijunction device architectures; and novel photophysical mechanisms such as singlet fission. Also of interest are some of the more applied aspects such as stability studies, and the development of scalable fabrication methods for devices and modules. An overriding goal of the workshop is to generate discussions of the global energy outlook and the potential impact of emerging exciton-based PV technologies.
