Quantifying recombination in halide perovskites is essential for controlling and enhancing the performance of perovskite solar cells. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of recombination dynamics in lead halide perovskites via transient and steady-state photoluminescence, focusing on the impact of the energetic position of electronic traps. We emphasize that the decay times extracted from transient photoluminescence measurements cannot generally be reduced to a single value but rather depend strongly on the charge carrier concentration. It follows that the magnitude of the decay time is reliant on the sensitivity of the measurement. We show photoluminescence decay curves with a large dynamic range of more than 10 orders of magnitude that demonstrate decay times from tens of nanoseconds up to hundreds of microseconds in perovskite films. Assuming, that these long decay times correspond to the lifetime of a deep trap in steady state, one would expect a material with perfect photoluminescence quantum yield, which does however not coincide with the experimental findings. Instead, the decay times in transient measurements are affected by charge trapping and detrapping. We quantitatively explain both the transient and steady-state photoluminescence with the presence of a high density of shallow traps without the influence of deep traps. In summary, this study offers a deeper understanding of recombination dynamics in halide perovskites through the analysis of transient and steady-state measurements. Our findings underscore the importance of considering the influence of shallow traps in interpreting decay times and optimizing device performance.
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.
