Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted the scientific community in the last few years due to their high performance produced by interesting physical effectsand low cost solutions. In spite of the spectacular advances in cell efficiency, many aspects of this system are poorly understood. One interesting phenomenon is the hysteresis response observed in current-voltage J-V curves upon illumination. The origin of these hysteresis cycles is unclear. There are several mechanisms that may explain it: ferroelectric polarization, ionic drift-diffusion migration, trapping and de-trapping mechanisms and capacitive effects [1].
It has been observed from experimental worksthat both, capacitive effects and ion migration influence the J−V response of PCSs[2]. However, the nonsteady-state photocurrent is dominated by the capacitive effects. From numerical simulations, the migration of ions and charge trapping and detrapping have been proposed as possible phenomena that explain the hysteresis behavior in J-V characteristics [3]. However, a time-dependent model for the capacitive effect is missing.
In this work, we propose a model for the capacitive effect. The model is based on the drift-diffusion transport equations including the ion charges at the bulk and at the perovskite/electrode interfaces. We describe how the applied voltage affects the ion density profile and how the dynamic accumulation of ions at the interface modifies the polarization at the electrodes, which give rise to the observed hysteresis behavior in PSCs.

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.
