2D perovskites have emerged as a new class of materials for optoelectronic applications, providing facile solution-processing and enhanced air stability compared to bulk perovskites. Thanks to these beneficial properties, mixtures of 2D perovskite layers of different thickness, called 2D/3D perovskites, have been integrated successfully in high efficiency perovskite solar cells[1,2] and LEDs[3,4]. Despite their promises for efficient optoelectronic devices, understanding and optimizing charge transport across 2D/3D perovskite stacks remains challenging, as it is determined by an interplay of in-plane and out-of-plane diffusion and by transport at heterostructures formed by different 2D perovskite thicknesses.
Most of the characterization of transport in these systems has focused either on full device performance or on spectral- and time-resolved measurement of carrier population changes in the mixed 2D/3D films [4,5,6]. However, measurements on the distributions of different 2D perovskite thicknesses are affected by the relative prevalence of different thicknesses and by their spatial distribution. These factors hamper a precise assessment of the mechanism and dynamics of carrier transport through the building blocks of 2D/3D perovskite stacks, i.e. individual heterostructures between two layer of 2D perovskite with different thicknesses.
In our work, we construct heterostructures between single crystals of 2D perovskite with different layer thickness, and characterize the transport of photoexcited carriers across the heterostructures with Transient Absorption Microscopy and Photoluminescence microscopy techniques. From the evolution of the Transient Absorption signal on the heterostructure we obtain information on band alignment in the heterostructure and the extract the dynamics of carrier transfer. Furthermore, we observe the presence of a lower energy Transient Absorption bleach localized at the edges of individual 2D perovskite flakes, associated with strongly absorptive edge states. Our results shine light on the transport properties of 2D perovskite heterostructures, providing insights for the design and optimization of 2D/3D layers tailored for specific optoelectronic applications.
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.
