Organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite compounds have attracted much attention as a material for solar cells due to their strong light absorption coefficient, high carrier mobility, low binding energy of excitons, and tunable band gap. Additionally, the perovskite compounds can be synthesized using inexpensive sources, suggesting that high performance and inexpensive solar cells are achievable. However, perovskite solar cells, which are usually fabricated by a solution process, have poor stability against moisture because the perovskite compounds are ionic crystals, and sensitive to moisture incorporation from the solvent. As a consequence solution processes face big challenges to become a suitable process for the fabrication of perovskite solar cells on large areas in mass production scale. There have been a few reports on the fabrication of perovskite solar cells using dry processes such as vapor phase deposition or pulsed laser deposition. In this work, we propose fabrication of perovskite solar cells by sputtering, which is more suitable for large scale fabrication. We present results on the fabrication of perovskite films by sputtering and their characterization.
PbI2 target was fabricated from PbI2 powder using a pressing machine under 10 MPa. Then, PbI2 films were fabricated on glass substrates by RF sputtering using the PbI2 target. To obtain perovskite films, sputtered PbI2 films were annealed at 100oC in CH3NH3I gas filled petri dish. XRD measurement and SEM observation were carried out to characterize the fabricated perovskite films.
From the XRD measurement, clear diffraction patterns of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite were confirmed in the films. SEM observations show that the substrates are entirely covered with perovskite grains. We applied these films for perovskite solar cells and successfully obtained photovoltaics performance from sputter processed perovskite films.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
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.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
