OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Energy Seminar - Week 8: Organic Photovoltaics: Ubiquitous Solar Energy?
Moritz Riede will speak in person at the ECI, Atmosphere Room, Oxford University Centre for the Environment, South Parks Road, Oxford. This talk will be streamed through TEAMS and recorded. See www.energy.ox.ac.uk/events to access the TEAMS streaming link. The recording will be available within 5 working days after each seminar on www.energy.ox.ac.uk, PAST EVENTS
Summary: Organic Photovoltaics (OPV), is an emerging solar cell technology at the early stages of commercialisation. It has several advantages compared to silicon photovoltaics, the incumbent technology, like a much lower environmental footprint, light weight and mechanical flexibility for endless new applications as well as the potential to compete with silicon PV in cost. However, will this be enough? In this talk, Prof Riede will describe the current state of the art, highlight the potential of OPV and discuss what might be needed to enable the transformative potential of this technology.
Biography: Moritz Riede is the Professor of Soft Functional Nanomaterials in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford, UK. His academic research is focussed on advanced functional materials, in particular organic semiconductors for organic photovoltaics (OPV). Beyond OPV, his interests are renewable energies in general and tackling the corresponding challenges for transforming our energy system into a sustainable one.
