Lead acetate is a promising precursor to produce ultrasmooth perovskite thin films, without the need for antisolvent quenching or the presence of strongly complexing solvents such as DMSO. Unfortunately, the originally developed lead acetate route failed to produce phase-pure mixed-A-cation perovskites. In our recent work we were able to identify the chemical side reactions in the precursor solution which caused this incompatibility. Furthermore we propose the use of ammonium iodide as alternative halide source to inhibit those unwanted reactions, allowing us to produce phase-pure formamidinium caesium mixed-A-cation perovskite films through our adapted lead acetate synthesis route. Solar cells fabricated from these films exhibited energy conversion efficiencies of up to 21%. The ruggedness of the film formation process of the lead acetate route lends itself to industrial scalable fabrication processes. Based on our work it is now also applicable to high-performing and industrially relevant perovskite compositions. We demonstrate the industrial relevance of our new synthesis route by producing 10 cm2 active area solar cell sub-modules via a blade-coating in air process, yielding solar cells with efficiencies of up to 18.8% and no evidence of efficiency loss after 3300 hours storage at 65 °C.

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.
