Layered metal halide perovskites have been investigated for use in a range of optoelectronic devices including photovoltaic cells. Their main appeal for photovoltaics is improved aqueous stability, which is enabled by their incorporation of larger organic cations which result in the formation of Ruddlesden-Popper and other related phases. However, quantum and dielectric confinement effects increase the exciton binding energies in these materials to as much as 100s of meV [1]. These increased binding energies correspond to an increase in exciton population at ambient temperatures which can decrease effective charge-carrier mobilities and significantly shorten charge-carrier lifetimes [1]. As such, optical-pump/THz-probe (OPTP) spectroscopy and other ultrafast spectroscopic techniques are used to elucidate the interplay between free charges and excitons in PEAPbI4 (PEA = phenylethylammonium) and comment on the limits these properties impose on charge transport in devices. Furthermore, several synthetic strategies have been implemented to balance the desired effects of improved stability with worsened optoelectronic properties, suggesting a balance between excitons and free charges is achievable by tuning the composition. These strategies include mixing larger and smaller cations [2], adding smaller amounts of layered materials alongside more standard 3D materials [3], and incorporating additives [4]. A comparison of the ultrafast optoelectronic properties of these materials reveals their complex sensitivity to these various approaches, including the effects on charge-carrier mobility, lifetimes, and doping density.
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.
