Carbon double bond-free printed solar cells have been fabricated with the structure < F-doped SnO2(FTO) /dense TiO2/nanocrystalline TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3/Au> and <FTO /dense TiO2/nanocrystalline TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3/CuSCN /Au>, where CuSCN acts as a hole conductor. The thickness of the CH3NH3PbI3layer was controlled by hot air flow during the spin coating. The best conversion efficiency (4.86%) was obtained with <FTO/dense TiO2/nanocrystalline TiO2/thin CH3NH3PbI3(hot air dried) /CuSCN/Au>. However, a thick CH3NH3PbI3layer on CuSCN was better for light-exposed stability (100 mW cm-2AM 1.5) when not encapsulated. Without the CuSCN coverage, the black CH3NH3PbI3crystal changed to yellow during the light-exposure stability test, which is due to the transformation of the CH3NH3PbI3perovskite crystal into hexagonal PbI2.
Sb2S3layers were inserted at the interface between TiO2and CH3NH3PbI3perovskite to be CH3NH3PbI3solar cells using inorganic hole transporting material (CuSCN). The CH3NH3PbI3 layer was spin-coated by one-drop method on nanocrystalline TiO2layer. The photoenergy conversion efficiencies were improved with Sb2S3layers (the best efficiency: 5.24%). During the light exposure test without encapsulation, the CH3NH3PbI3solar cells without Sb2S3deteriorated to zero efficiency in 12 h and were completely changed from black to yellow, because the perovskite CH3NH3PbI3was changed to hexagonal PbI2. With Sb2S3, on the other hand, the CH3NH3PbI3solar cells became stable against light exposure without encapsulation, which didn’t change the crystal structure and the wavelength edges of absorption and IPCE. Therefore, it was considered that the degradation can occur at the interface between TiO2and CH3NH3PbI3.
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.
