Perovskite solar cells have recently been mentioned as a technology that can replace silicon solar cells as power conversion efficiency with 25.6% has been reported. However, in order to commercialize, it is urgent to solve the following two problems: 1)Long-term stability and 2) Toxicity problems due to lead leakage.
Our study aims to solve the lead leakage problem through interfacial passivation using Crown ether materials. Crown ether has a giant ring molecule containing an ether group, which is capable to capture oxygen atoms and small metal cations inside its ring by coordination bonding. Herein, we applied crown ether materials on PSCs employing between perovskite and HTL for capturing free Pb+ ion to prevent Pb leakage into the surrounding environments. First, we obtained candidate materials that showed effectiveness in hosting free Pb+ ion through DFT calculation. After device optimization of selected crown ether materials on the device, it was confirmed that the crown ether has the lead capture ability through test paper for Pb+ ion by the analysis of Tof-sims, ICP-OES and lead paper test. In addition, photoluminescence study confirmed improved optical properties and the overall efficiency of the PSCs.

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.
