Metal halide perovskite nanocrystals can display excellent light emission properties, leveraging the chemical versatility of this family of materials.[1] However, using these features in functional films is an elusive task due to aggregation and material instability problems.[2] Using a metal-organic host matrix based on a sol-gel approach[3] allows for a controlled in-situ crystallization of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) with extremely low-demanding fabrication methods. As a result, this ambient annealing-free process generates high-performance nanocomposite thin films with PLQY>80% with outstanding ambient and mechanical stability. The crystallization dynamics determining the final nanoparticle size, and thus the emission properties, can be adjusted in detail through the ambient exposure and precursor concentration.

This in-situ PNCs nanocomposite synthesis approach (currently patent pending) may form the basis for the fabrication of large-area optoelectronic devices with enhanced properties, but also a groundwork on direct bandgap tunability through PNCs size’s crystallization dynamics control.

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.
