Due to the cancellation of many scientific conferences, the AUCAOS committee is pleased to announce an online seminar series. We intend to run seminars on the first Wednesday of every month until normal conferences can resume.
Date: Wednesday 3 February 2021
Time:
1pm in QLD
2pm in NSW, ACT, Vic and Tas
11am in WA
12:30pm in NT
1:30pm in SA
4pm in New Zealand

Seminar schedule
Each talk is 20 minutes duration followed by approximately 5 minutes for questions and discussion.

1:00 – 1:25pm | A flexible organic solar cell based on doped graphene/PET substrate
Dr. Hellen Jin Graphene has shown tremendous potential as a transparent conductive electrode (TCE) for flexible organic solar cells (OSCs). However, the trade-off between electrical conductance and transparency as well as surface roughness of the graphene TCE with increasing layer number limits power conversion efficiency (PCE) enhancement and its use for large-area OSCs. Here, we use a 300 nm-thick poly[(2,5-bis(2-hexyldecyloxy)phenylene)-alt-(5,6-difluoro-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c]-[1,2,5]thiadiazole)]:[6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester as the photoactive layer and a benzimidazole (BI)-doped graphene as the transparent anode to demonstrate efficient OSCs with good flexibility. It is found that 3 layer (L) graphene had the best balance between sheet resistance, optical transmittance and surface roughness for optimized cell design. A 0.2 cm2 cell with a 3L BI-doped graphene anode achieves a PCE of 6.85%, which is one of the highest PCE values reported so far for flexible graphene anode-based OSCs. The flexible cells are robust, showing only a small performance degradation during up to 250 flexing cycles. Moreover, the combination of the thick photoactive layer with the optimized 3L BI-doped graphene TCE enabled production of 1.6 cm2 flexible OSCs with a PCE of 1.8%. Our work illustrates the importance of graphene TCE development for flexible OSCs as well as other wearable optoelectronic devices. |
1:25 – 1:50pm | Carbene-metal-amides as emitting materials in high-efficiency organic light-emitting diodes
Dr. Patrick Conaghan Emitting materials in organic light-emitting diodes are predominantly phosphorescent iridium complexes or all-organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials. We have demonstrated that the carbene-metal-amide molecular structure of coinage-metal complexes can also be used to produce organic light-emitting diodes with efficient electroluminescence from both singlet and triplet excited states. |
1:50 – 2:00pm | Open discussion |
During the seminar:
- Please keep your microphone muted unless you are speaking. This is to reduce the background noise and avoid disrupting the presenter.
- You will be automatically muted when you join the virtual meeting room. To speak, you will need to unmute yourself by using the audio controls in the lower left of the Zoom window.
- If you have not used Zoom before, then it is recommended that you join 5 minutes before the starting time to ensure that you have your software set up correctly.
Please be aware that the talks will be recorded and posted on the AUCAOS website.

Call for abstracts
Seminars are held on the first Wednesday of each month.
In the spirit of building a community in these challenging times, you are encouraged to give a talk. Do you have a talk that you would have given at a conference that was cancelled? Please consider adapting that talk for this format.
