Biography

Diego Bagnis has a M.Sc. Degree in Physics earned from the University of Turin, a European Master in Nanotechnology for Electronic Industry and a PhD in Materials Nanotechnology earned from the University of Perugia. He did research in the fields of materials science and chemistry on inorganic and organic LEDs, small-molecules, Organic Photovoltaics (OPV) in various international academic groups, including the Northwestern University in the US, the Technical University of Lodz (Poland), and on thin-film morphology and CNT at the University of Perugia. He was research scientist and developer on OPV for Konarka Austria, performing advanced morphological studies and developing simulation tools for molecular dynamics and OPV devices. Relationship studies on lifetime and morphology.  In 2012 he co-founded Morphwize snc, a spin-off company focused on the simulation for the ultra-short weather prediction on the PV plants connected to the smart grid. From the 2014 he manages the R&D activities and cover the role of Chief Scientific Officer at CSEM Brasil. Principal focus is making the last innovation steps in order to transfer the knowledge for lab-to-fab. Coordination and management projects on perovskite and organic materials applied for PV beyond the most recent flexible hybrid electronics (FHE).

Scale-up Challenges for Third-generation PV | Case Comparison for Perovskite- and Organic-PV
08:30 AM

One of the challenges for OPV and Perovskite photovoltaic is finding real solutions for actual and future commercialization. The two photovoltaic technologies, currently under developing at CSEM Brasil, are in a different maturity stage in the applied research and potentially with diversified market prospects by their very nature, at least in the short term.

OPV is already a production reality applied by our spinoff SUNEW but still with some important challenges such as increasing modules efficiency and their stability for specific applications related a reasonable cost. In the other hand the perovskite PV still needs to do some important steps with, in part, different challenge before being applied commercially. Both technologies require a constant compromise between efficiency, lifetime and costs compatible with the module evolution stage and their final applications.

With this talk we will try to understand what potentially join the two technologies and what differentiates them, both from a scale-up point of view.
