Perovskite solar cells have improved drastically over the past decade, overcoming hurdles of temperature- and water-induced instability to achieve efficient, stable devices. Three-dimensional (3D) perovskites have excellent properties including high charge-carrier lifetimes and mobilities, strong absorption and good crystallinity – ideal for photovoltaic devices. However, 3D perovskite materials struggle especially with moisture-induced degradation [1]. The addition of large, hydrophobic organic cations can lead to the formation of two-dimensional (2D) perovskite structures. Devices made with 2D perovskites show much greater stability, but with far lower power conversion efficiencies than their 3D cousins [2]. Materials combining 2D and 3D structures have thus recently become one the most promising candidates for use in solar cells [3, 4]. In order to fully understand the optoelectronic properties of these 2D-3D hybrid systems we look at BAx(FA0.83Cs0.17)1-xPb(I0.6Br0.4)3 across the composition range 0 ≤ x ≤ 80 %. We find that small amounts of butylammonium (BA) help to improve crystallinity and passivate grain boundaries, thus reducing monomolecular charge-carrier recombination, and boost charge-carrier mobilities. Excessive amounts of BA lead to poor crystallinity and inhomogeneous films forming, greatly reducing charge-carrier transport capabilities. For low amounts of BA the benevolent effects of reduced recombination and enhanced mobilities lead to outstanding diffusion lengths.
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.
