In recent years, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells have been attracting considerable attention due to their low cost and facile fabrication [1]. Since 2009 power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells devices has increased dramatically and currently exceeds 25% [2]. Although perovskite solar cells have achieved high efficiency, there are still several challenges limiting their commercialization. One of them is long-term stability. Under-coordinated defects are ubiquitous in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite materials [3]. Such defects cause the electronic states of the perovskite to become discrete and form trap states within the band gap, which trap the free carriers to reduce the performance of perovskite solar cells, and particularly impact on larger-scale modules. To overcome the drawbacks, organic compounds with two N-carbazolyl based chromophores linked by aliphatic chains via two-step synthesis have been developed to merge the electronic states between defective and perfect perovskite sites. When the mentioned organic compounds were used in perovskite solar cells, it results in an improved fill factor (FF) of 84% and stability of 99.6% over 1000 h operation. Furthermore, the power conversion efficiency of a small cell reached 23.22%, and for a mini-module (6.5×7 cm2, active area = 30.24 cm2) 21.71% was obtained. This work shows that merging the trap states to a continuous electronic state reduces defect induced recombination and is an effective way to improve the performance of perovskite solar cells.
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.
