Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been attracting much attention from researchers and engineers due to their high performance and low cost. As the research on PSCs proceeds, the structure has gradually evolved from the Graetzel structure to a sandwich structure which is the most widely used structure for high-performance PSCs. Behind the scenes, improvement of the perovskite crystallinity has played an important role in promoting the structural evolution. In the beginning, ultra-small perovskite crystal could only be used as a sensitizer in Graetzel structure.[1] It was not until crystal size matched film thickness that the sandwich structure became the main structure for PSCs. Recently, crystal size in perovskite thin films already reached several tens of micrometers, much larger than the thickness of the film.[2] How can we take advantage of the enlarged crystal size and further boost the efficiency of PSCs?
Here, we propose that the integrated-back-contact (IBC) structure, which has been widely used in Si photovoltaics, maybe the next-generation structure for PSCs. The IBC structure can largely reduce light loss by eliminating reflection and absorption caused by substrates. The Large crystal size of the perovskite film can help to reduce charge recombination between the two electrodes of the IBC structure. By using a numerical simulation method, we demonstrated that the IBC-PSCs would outperform sandwich-PSCs by 11%.[3] In the presentation, I will discuss detailed requirements to maximize the performance of IBC-PSCs.

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.
