Perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation photovoltaic devices due to their high efficiency, solution-compatible processability, ease of manufacture and low cost [1]. At present, their certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) has reached 25.7%, approaching to the value of silicon-based solar cells. For PVSCs, additive engineering has become a prevailing strategy to passivate bulk or surface perovskite defects, modulate crystallization processes, and optimize the morphology of perovskite films. These improvements derive impressively high performance and stable PVSCs. In recent years, phenethylammonium iodide (PEA+) and phenethylamine (PEA) are two common and representative additives used to enhance the performance of PVSCs [2]. However, the ammonium- and amine-based additives are often confused due to their structural similarities. Herein, we discuss in detail the difference between PEA+ and PEA additives, including photovoltaic performance, optical properties, electrical properties, and device stability. The results show that PEA passivates iodide vacancies and undercoordinated Pb owing to its Lewis base characteristic. Also, PEA better prevents water invasion, enhances thermal resistance, and inhibits iodide ion migration, thus enhancing PCE and stability. As a result, PEA increases PCE by more than 15% to reach a value of > 21%. More important, the unencapsulated PEA-based device maintained 95.1% and 94.4% of their initial PCE values after storing in an N2 environment for 5000 hours and aging at RH 20% ± 5% at RT for 600 hours, respectively.

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.
