Post-event update:
A special session organized by the COST Action ReNewPV took place during the MICROTHERM-2025 Conference in Łódź, Poland, bringing together researchers from across Europe to present recent advances in emerging chalcogenide and related photovoltaic materials. The session featured an invited talk by Dr. Thomas Shalvey on “GeSe Thin Film Solar Cells Using Close Space Sublimation Deposition” and several insightful contributions covering a wide range of topics, including non-radiative recombination reduction in Sb₂Se₃ (Dr. Rokas Kondrotas), optimization of Sb₂Se₃ solar cells by thermal evaporation (Dr. Elisa Artegiani), and development of Bi₂S₃-based materials by close-spaced sublimation (Mykhailo Koltsov). Additional talks explored thin-film antimony sulfide selenide heterojunctions (Katarzyna Znajdek), ZnO nanostructures for solar energy and catalysis (Alexandra Apostoluk), and the co-optimization of PV generation with electric vehicle charging systems (Saad Saad). The session also included a presentation by Rahman Nurkovic on the intersection of information technology and creative industries.
The event successfully highlighted the multidisciplinary nature of the ReNewPV network and fostered collaboration among scientists working on sustainable and next-generation photovoltaic technologies.
