The workshop will be held in a hotel in central Athens which will provide sufficient accommodation for all workshop participants. The hotel will be announced here by end of September and then you can book. In order to arrange for your travel we recommend to you to book a flight to Athens International Airport (Eleftherios Venizelos) from which the hotel will be accessed conveniently.

  1. 9. Modeling Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells from First Principles: Understanding the mechanism, improving the efficiency
    Dr Filippo De Angelis (CNR-ISTM)

    We present computer simulations on the fundamental constituents of Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) and their interactions at the respective molecular/solid/liquid interfaces. Predictive dye design and modeling of realistic semiconductor (TiO2, ZnO) nanostructures enables us to investigate the structural, electronic and optical properties of dyes adsorbed onto semiconductor surfaces by means...

  2. 11. Three-dimensional modelling of transport, injection and recombination in organic light-emitting diodes

    Charge transport in organic semiconductors can be described by hopping of charge carriers between localized states. The energetic disorder present in those organic semiconductors leads to the percolation of charge carriers, resulting in an inhomogeneous filamentary three-dimensional current density. We present a complete Monte Carlo modelling study of charge transport, injection and...

    Talk
    In Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC), photocurrent generation results from electron injection into a nanocrystalline oxide electrode from a photo-oxidized dye molecule adsorbed on to the oxide surface while the dye is normally regenerated by a Hole Transporting Medium (HTM). In an alternative mechanism, the dye may be regenerated through the lateral transport of holes between dye molecules on...

    Nowadays, the best performing designs of organic solar cell are based on blend films of a conjugated polymer and a fullerene derivative. The best studied example is the blend of poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) as the donor and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) as the acceptor. The performance of such devices is strongly related to the blend microstructure. The best...
