Compared with the single junction solar cell technology, perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (PSTSCs) provide a foreseeable strategic opportunity to further increase the power conversion efficiency (PCE). Nowadays, a certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 29.8% for the monolithic PSTSCs has been obtained, which exceeds the single junction Shockley–Queisser limit (29.3%), indicating its tremendous potential in the photovoltaic energy field. Here, a n-i-p type PSTSCs was fabricated by solution two-step sequential deposition method. Lithium chloride (LiCl) was added into the tin oxide (SnO2) precursor solution, which simultaneously passivated the defects and increased the electron injection driving force at the electron transfer layer (ETL)/perovskite interface. Eventually, we achieved monolithic PSTSCs with an efficiency of 25.42% and VOC of 1.92 V, which is the highest PCE and VOC in N-I-P type perovskite/Si tandem devices . Moreover, we also deposited p-i-n type perovskite top cells on fully-textured c-Si solar cells to construct conformal-grown monolithic PSTSCs by evaporation-solution combination two-step method. A thermal-evaporated CsBr thin layer between the perovskite layer and the hole transport layer is introduced to construct a gradient perovskite absorber for optimized energy level alignment, so as to improve the VOC and fill factor (FF) of the device. Finally, the PSTSCs achieved an efficiency of 27.48% and was stable in nitrogen over 10,000 h.

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.
