Electron extraction layer (EEL) as one of the most important component in organometal–halide perovskites solar cells (PSCs) has attracted considerable research efforts on both materials and its interface with the light-harvesting perovskite. In this study, Ti-Fe-O ternary oxides were incorporated into the planar-structured PSCs based on CH3NH3PbI3 as the EELs compared with conventional TiOx compact layer and pure FeOx compact layer. It shows that for the Ti-Fe-O oxides, with the increase of the Fe content from 0%mol to 100%mol, the conductivities and energy levels of the thin films present relative changes. With the incorporation of Fe, the conduction bands get lower compared with pure TiOx which is proved by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Additionally, the conductivity is significantly improved according to the conductive atomic force microscopy (CAFM) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) measurement. As a result, the oxides with higher Fe content give better electron extractions according to the photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies measured in both steady and transient state. On the contrary, more narrow energy gap due to higher Fe ratio would result in short-wavelength- light loss and lower open circuit voltage (VOC). Consequently, Ti0.5Fe0.5Ox with the optimal Ti-Fe ratio of 1:1 gives the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 14.7% higher than pure TiOx and FeOx with reasonable short circuit current (JSC), VOC and highly reduced hysteresis.
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.
