Held annually, MATSUS is an international meeting that brings together leading researchers and industry experts working on the development of advanced materials for a more sustainable future. This year’s conference, held from March 4th to 8th, 2024, in Barcelona focused on a wide range of topics, including solar energy conversion, clean energy technologies, and sustainable materials for various applications.
Consortium members Carles Ros and Valentina Gacha from the Organic Nanoestructured Photovoltaics group at ICFO and Laia Francàs and Xavier Sala from the SelOxCat group at the UAB presented preliminary results of their research. Konrad Wojciechowski, from SAULE, also took part in the meeting delivering an oral presentation outlining the industrial opportunities of flexible perovskite photovoltaics.
