During the past few years hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have attracted much interest as solution-processed semiconductors with high potentialities in optoelectronics and photovoltaics. On the one hand 3D HOIPs such as CH3NH3PbI3 have shown their outstanding performances when incorporated in solar cells [2]. On the other hand their 2D layered counterparts such as (C6H5C2H4NH3)2PbI4 (PEPI) are promising materials for light emitting devices because of their strong emission at room temperature [3]. However, the optoelectronic properties of hybrid perovskite polycrystalline films suffer from a microscale grain structure [4]. In order to take advantage of the great potential of these materials for both photovoltaics and emitting devices, the synthesis of large monocrystalline films is a key issue. Here we propose a fast crystallization method for layered hybrid perovskites. A vapor-assisted process coupled with a capping of the precursor solution allows to grow 2-dimensionnal thin films with millimetric monocrystalline grains, a high aspect ratio and a good surface quality. In addition, we highlight the benefits of using γ-butyrolactone (GBL) for the growth of layered perovskites monocrystalline grains. [1]

International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics

International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.

Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics

The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
