To meet the huge global energy demand and provide secure clean and sustainable energy, solar cells are considered as the most promising route to deplete fossil fuels and environmental pollution. Large scale implementation, however, is still limited by the high processing cost and material consumption. Nanowires (NWs) based Hybrid solar cell (HSC) take the advantage of both fabrication cost reduction and material saving have drawn great attention. In this study, we provide a systematic optical simulation analysis for the design guidelines of GaAs NWs geometrical parameters fully infiltrated in the poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) for optimal HSC performance. Comparative study is carried out about optical absorption of GaAs NWs/air and GaAs NWs/P3HT active layer. It demonstrates that uniform light absorption improvement appears below the absorption edge (650 nm) of organic material whereas above the absorption edge, P3HT serves as a dielectric shell to boost the absorption. Diameter of NWs effectively tunes the absorption peaks due to mode resonance when the filling ratio is below 0.05. As FR increases, high volume percentage of GaAs broadened the absorption spectrum for 80 nm diameter NWs hybrid active layer whereas the destructive interference of HE11 mode resulted in the blue shift for 160 nm case. Mode analyses supplement the absorption transformation with volume percentage. Increase of length of NWs leads to high absorption but threatens device reliability. Therefore, 2 μm is adopted in our investigation. The absorption properties are further analyzed upon the solar illumination and the optimized structure displays 38% of total absorption efficiency. Within the 20 nm diffusion length of organics material a photocurrent of 22.3 mA/cm2 is predicted.

International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
