Proceedings of International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV16)
Publication date: 28th March 2016
In this work CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite films were prepared through several modifications of the one-step solution deposition method and the consequences in crystallisation and morphology were investigated. Perovskites were synthesized in both N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) solvents and deposited by spin-coating at speeds between 2000 rpm and 7000 rpm. Intense evaporation process and solvent extraction methods based respectively on dry air blowing and toluene/chlorobenzene additions during film formation were also evaluated. Results indicate that solvent selection for perovskite solution has a strong influence on the primary shape of the crystals obtaining needle-like films with DMF meanwhile round-crystals grow with NMP. Spin-coating speed affects nucleation rate and favours film densification but full coverage and very low roughness films require additional rapid solvent elimination techniques. Perovskites were characterized by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and UV-vis spectroscopy. Selected conditions were used to fabricate planar solar cells on FTO substrates with Spiro-MeOTAD as the hole transport material. Current density-voltage curves under simulated solar irradiation evidenced strong differences among the studied devices.
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.
