The International Workshop on Vacuum-Processed Perovskite Solar Cells, held this week at the University of Valencia Science Park, brought together some of the leading researchers, researchers and industry representatives from around the world to discuss the latest developments in photovoltaics based on perovskite, one of the most promising technologies for the future of solar energy, at an event
Perovskite solar cells have achieved remarkable efficiencies of more than 27%, and when combined with silicon, they exceed 34.9%, making them a key candidate to revolutionize the PV market. The workshop focused on solvent-free processing techniques that enable the environmentally friendly manufacture of perovskite absorbent layers, an essential step towards large-scale industrialization of this technology.
Throughout the sessions, international experts shared cutting-edge results and discussed strategies to accelerate the transition from laboratory research to industrial application. The event also provided a unique platform to foster collaborations between academia and industry in the field of next-generation solar technologies.
In addition to the scientific presentations, the participants visited the facilities of the Team of Molecular Optoelectronic Devices (MOED) at the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol), research center of the University of Valencia Science Park (PCUV), directed by Professor Henk J. Bolink. During the visit, attendees explored the advanced scientific equipment of the laboratory and met the research team working on cutting-edge topics in photovoltaics based on dry processed perovskite funded by the "VALHALLA" project of Horizon Europe.

The workshop featured presentations by leading scientific staff, including Beom-Soo Kim (Korea Chemical Technology Research Institute), Yi Hou (National University of Singapore), Mónica Morales (Twente University), Stefaan De Wolf (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology), Michael Johnston (Oxford University) and Henk J. Bolink (University of Valencia), among others.
Industry participation was also a highlight, with contributions from companies such as First Solar, Von Ardenne, Oxford PV, Singulus Technologies, Hanwha Qcells, Euris SAS, LKChen, Singfilm Solar, Korea Kiyon, Everlight, Microquanta and Swift Solar, have shown their efforts in extending perovskite-based technologies to real-world applications.
The workshop was organized by Annalisa Bruno (Nanyang University of Technology, Singapore), Mónica Morales (University of Twente, Netherlands), Adriana Paracchino (CSEM, Switzerland), Beom-Soo Kim (Korea Chemical Technology Research Institute, South Korea) and Henk J. Bolink (ICMol).
