Due to the depletion of traditional energy sources and global issues, the demand for new renewable energy has never ceased. In recent years, with the rapid industrial development, saving the Earth from the devastation of the greenhouse effect is no longer just a slogan. This has led to the development of next-generation solar cells. Since 2012, the integration of two previously competitive research fields- Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) and Organic Photovoltaic Cells (OPV)- has successfully led to the creation of Perovskite Solar Cells (PSC), which hold great potential for future commercialization.

To date, research on PSCs has flourished, almost overshadowing the past prominence of DSSC and OPV. The main reason for this is that the efficiency of PSCs has skyrocketed from 10% to over 26% in just a few years, posing a direct or indirect threat to the solar photovoltaic industry, which has mainly relied on silicon-based solar cells. Neighboring countries to Taiwan, such as China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore, have been hosting large-scale international conferences on related topics annually. Since Taiwan first hosted the DSC-OPV International Conference in 2012, over thirteen years have passed, and for this year (2025), the NHSC-14 conference will again be hosted by Taiwan.

We aim to take full advantage of this opportunity by inviting many internationally renowned scholars in the field. Research areas will focus on perovskites and organic nanomaterials, and the application scope will expand beyond photovoltaic cells to include laser/LED light-emitting devices, photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production, and photocatalytic CO2 reduction to methane. This conference will provide Taiwanese students and researchers with opportunities to learn from and exchange ideas with leading international teams, enhancing Taiwan's academic standing and visibility on the global stage.
