In the field of photovoltaics, the recent concept of perovskite solar cells has attracted great interest due to their high efficiency combined with a potential low cost and good versatility. One of the main remaining challenges now concerns their intrinsic stability. There is a vital need for a better understanding of the degradation mechanisms and thereby the possible mitigation strategies. The presented work focuses on degradation mechanisms taking place in the double cation perovskite solar cells. The studied perovskite is the following: FA0,95Cs0,05Pb(I0,83Br0,17)3. This material is well known for its high and stabilized performances [1,2]. In order to validate the enhanced stability of mixed cation perovskite compared to the common MAPbI3 monocation one, ageing tests were conducted using an innovative device architecture compatible with both low temperature processes and semi-transparent devices for tandem cells development.
The conducted experiments are resumed on figure 1. Three conditions were tested to study the precise impact of each possible constraint: temperature, oxygen and humidity. Thanks to an optimized characterization set composed of X-ray diffraction, UV-visible absorption, photoluminescence, FTIR spectroscopy, power conversion and external quantum efficiencies, interlinked with special resolved mapping techniques such as photoluminescence and light beam induced current imagings and RGB analysis, the global degradation behaviour of mixed cation perovskite was draft. Ageing of partial stacks was also conducted in order to confirm obtained results. Interesting results such as the good humidity tolerance of the material were obtained. Under drastic conditions (85°C/Air/40%RH), even if an important loss of photovoltaic properties (62%) occurred during the first 150h, the performances were then exceptionally stabilized for more than 500h with a 5.2% power conversion efficiency.
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.
The science and technology of advanced materials is a major resource of humanity to tackle global challenges. The Materials for Sustainable Development Conference is a forum for directing the knowledge and tools of science and technology of advanced materials to the areas and problems that contribute to the societal change.
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.
