As the world races toward cleaner energy and next-generation photonic technologies, advanced thin-film materials are redefining the possibilities for solar cells and optoelectronic devices. At the Global Conference on Materials Science and Advanced Manufacturing (MSAM – 2026), we spotlight this cutting-edge field to foster collaboration among materials scientists, renewable energy innovators, and device engineers.

Advanced Thin-Film Materials for Solar Cells and Optoelectronics focuses on material breakthroughs, device engineering, and scalable manufacturing processes that drive efficiency, functionality, and commercial viability.

We invite submissions and expert talks on:

• Next-Generation Photovoltaic Materials: Perovskite, organic, quantum dot, and tandem thin-film technologies pushing solar cell efficiencies beyond traditional limits.

• Flexible and Wearable Solar Devices: Development of lightweight, bendable thin-film solar panels for emerging applications in portable electronics, vehicles, and smart textiles.

• Thin-Film Photodetectors and LEDs: Innovations in thin-film materials for high-sensitivity detectors, displays, and solid-state lighting systems.

• Interface Engineering and Defect Passivation: Strategies to enhance charge transport, suppress recombination losses, and stabilize device performance over time.

• Scalable and Sustainable Manufacturing: Roll-to-roll processing, low-temperature fabrication, and eco-friendly material systems for large-scale production.

• Hybrid and Multi-Functional Thin Films: Integrating energy harvesting, sensing, and optical functionalities into a single, compact thin-film platform.

• Durability, Stability, and Environmental Adaptation: Enhancing the operational lifetime and environmental resilience of thin-film devices for real-world deployment.

Whether you are driving breakthroughs in material discovery, device integration, or manufacturing innovation, this session offers a global stage to share your pioneering work with top researchers, engineers, and industry leaders.

Join us at MSAM – 2026 in Rome to shape the sustainable and interconnected future enabled by advanced thin-film technologies.
