Halide perovskite indoor photovoltaics (PV) are promising to autonomously power the billions of sensors in the emerging technology field of the Internet of Things. However, there exists a knowledge gap in the hysteresis behavior of these photovoltaic devices under indoor lighting conditions. The present work is dedicated to exploring the degree of hysteresis in halide perovskite indoor photovoltaic devices as a function of device architecture and the selection of photoactive layers. Hysteresis properties were examined through both transient J–V scan and steady state maximum power point tracking (MPPT) measurements. It was observed that when MAPbI3 is used as the photoactive layer, compared to p-i-n device architecture consisting of all-organic charge transport layers, the n-i-p devices with metal oxide charge transport layers suffered higher hysteresis. And this hysteresis effect of n-i-p MAPbI3 devices got worse under the low intensity indoor illumination conditions. Our study revealed that the divergence between the PCE values estimated from the J–V scan measurements and the maximum power point tracking method was also higher under the indoor illumination compared to 1 Sun, necessitating the need to prioritize the PCE from the MPPT measurements over the conventional J–V scan measurements.
Light intensity measurement of photovoltaic parameters of these devices revealed that n-i-p devices suffer from higher trap-assisted recombination and poor charge extraction at interfaces than the p-i-n devices. The results from our study suggest the following approaches for maximising the steady-state PCE from halide perovskite indoor photovoltaics: (i) select perovskite active layer composition with suppressed ion migration effects (such as Cs-containing triple cation perovskites) (ii) for the perovskite composition such as MAPbI3, where the ion migration is very active, p-i-n architecture with organic charge transport layers is beneficial over the n-i-p architecture with conventional metal oxides (such as TiO2, SnO2) as charge transport layers.
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.
