In this study, 3,4-dibromothiophene (DBT) additive was added to the precursor solution to stabilize the precursor used in the production of solar cells. With the influence of external factors, they are exposed to during the process between synthesis and coating, perovskite precursor solutions exhibit aging effects that are an important roadblock to producing high-efficiency solar cells[1]. After the synthesis of the precursor solutions, a thin film coated with fresh solutions results in a photoactive black phase, however, films made with aged solutions result in a non-photoactive yellow phase[2]. One of the most effective approaches to reducing these phase transitions is additive engineering. By adding a DBT additive to perovskite precursor solutions, we assume that phase changes would be avoided and the storage time would be increased. It has been suggested that sulfur atoms in DBT will interact with lead, and bromine's steric effect will help to stabilize the perovskite. XRD, UV-VIS, and AFM analyses were performed to see the effects of additive and aging on the perovskite structure in fresh and aged precursor solutions with different amounts of additives added. According to our results, 3 μL/mL additive is the optimum amount for stabilization because it prevents the formation of the yellow phase without damaging the perovskite structure. In addition, solar cells were produced with the fresh precursor solutions synthesized and performance analyses were carried out.
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.
