Recently, organometal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have received great attention. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs have shown a dramatic increase and certified PCEs adopting mixed organic cations and halide anions have reached up to 22%. The PCE is considerably affected by photovoltaic property of each component of a PSC. Particularly, because crystal quality of materials is strongly concerned with the electronic properties such as carrier transport, investigation of detailed crystallographic information of the perovskite light absorber is essential. In spite of the significance in the crystallographic information, however, microstructural observation for crystal structure analysis of the perovskite layer has not been actively conducted. In this talk, we will report a microstructural observation about phase coexistence in the perovskite light absorber through transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation.
To obtain the crystallographic information of the perovskite light absorber, a pure methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) layer was formed through spin-coating method assisted by antisolvent in a planar type PSC (Au/Spiro-MeOTAD/ MAPbI3/TiO2/FTO/Glass). MAPbI3 precursor solution used is 1.4 M and the spin-coated MAPbI3 film was annealed at 100oC for 30 min.
Surprisingly, during the high resolution (HR) TEM observation, we found coexistence of tetragonal and cubic structures in the same perovskite layer. This new observation is expected to be an important clue of the enhancement of perovskite crystal quality for highly efficient 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.
