Halide perovskites and elpasolites are key for optoelectronic applications due to their exceptional performance and adaptability. However, understanding their crucial elastic properties for synthesis and device operation remains limited. We performed temperature- and pressure-dependent synchrotron-based powder X-ray diffraction at low pressures (ambient to 0.06 GPa) to investigate their elastic properties in their ambient-pressure crystal structure. We found common trends in bulk modulus and thermal expansivity, with an increased halide ionic radius (Cl to Br to I) resulting in greater softness, higher compressibility and thermal expansivity in both class of materials. For non-cubic systems, in which the elastic properties are anisotropic, we obtained axis-dependent compressibility. The A cation has a minor effect, and mixed-halide compositions show intermediate properties. Notably, thermal phase transitions in MAPbI3 and CsPbCl3 induced lattice softening and negative expansivity for specific crystal axes, even at temperatures far from the transition point. These results emphasize the significance of considering temperature-dependent elastic properties, which can significantly impact device stability and performance during manufacturing or temperature sweeps.
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.
