Since 2009, there has been research into the use of lead halide perovskites in solar cells (PSCs) [1]. Over the last decade the achievable power conversion efficiencies of PSCs have improved to compete with silicon solar cells. However, the traditional Antisolvent method for PSCs synthesis is not feasible for large scale production as it requires large amounts of organic solvents and high annealing temperatures. This poster is focused on an antisolvent free synthesis technique using Flash infrared annealing (FIRA). Flash Infrared annealing can control the crystal growth of the perovskite by altering the irradiation time [2]. FIRA has huge potential in the up-scaling of FAPbI3 solar cell synthesis as it is economically and environmentally favourable due to the short irradiation time (640 ms) and lack of organic solvent.
This poster reports the use of FIRA in the synthesis of FAPbI3 perovskite films and potential ways the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the films can be improved. We analysed the FIRA process parameters and the use and effect of surface passivation and precursor composition. The FIRA annealing time was optimised to 640 ms allowing the complete evaporation of precursor solvent without causing decomposition of the film.
Surface roughness was the main factor affecting the performance of the FAPbI3 solar cells. Various methods to mitigate the issue were investigated, from the composition of the precursor to different kinds of post-treatments. Treating the perovskite films with formamidinium iodide and phenethylammonium iodide improved the measured PCEs. Coating the films with carbon (20nm) also improved the films efficiencies as created a good conductive layer that reduced thermal damage and loss of performance due to the perovskite roughness. The efficiency of the perovskite films were also improved by altering the precursor composition. Doping the precursor solution with TEMPO reduced the roughness of the perovskite surface by almost 20 nm and improved the overall stability of the synthesised films. The highest measured PCE was 17.92%, with a VOC of 1.06 V, a JSC of 22.77 mA/cm2 and an FF of 70.4%.

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.
