FA1−xMaxPb(I1−yBry)3 has been shown as one of the most promising perovskite compositions with a high performance of 20.8% PCE.[1] This composition is designed for an optimal band gap and power conversion performance and not for their stability performance; but for realization of commercial photovoltaic technologies both must be considered. From our previous work, the devices of MAPbI3 without encapsulation in different environments were examined; humidity and oxygen with light were found as the two main degradation factors for perovskite.[2] Herein, the stabilities of mixed cation and mixed halide perovskite in humidity or oxygen plus light have been examined. The humidity tolerance of (MAPb(I1-xBrx)3, x =0…1) and (FA1−xMAxPbI3, x=0…1) films were examined at varying humidity levels to monitor the formation of the hydrated perovskite phase. The films were placed in an inert environmental chamber with nitrogen and controlled humidity levels. The higher bromine ratio can enhance the humidity stability owing to the thermodynamic crystal stability of MAPbBr. Interestingly, both FAPbI3 and MAPbI3 showed inferior stability to humidity compared to mixed cation films.Oxygen and light stability of mixed halide material series was investigated in dry air with 1 sun. For thin film studies, the longer stability was observed for MAPbBr3, but all of the mixed halide films with the inclusion of iodide started to degrade at same time as MAPbI3. These results suggest iodide containing perovskite materials have an inherent instability to environmental stresses that cannot be overcome with ion tuning; however, CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite shows promising stability for large bandgap photovoltaic operations.

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.
