Nickel oxide (NiOx) has stood out as an excellent hole transporting material (HTM) for perovskite solar cell (PSCs). Its high optical transmittance, and matching valence band energy level, along with the high stability in ambient atmosphere, gives NiOx an edge over the other popularly used HTM’s for PSCs. Despite these advantages, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) values for NiOx HTM based devices lag significantly behind the high performing cells based on organic HTMs such as spiro-OMeTAD, and PTAA. Amongst the various factors, affecting the device performance, one of the major influence comes from the nature of substrate, which plays an influential role in governing the interfacial properties of the device as well as the bulk properties of the perovskite films.
In the current study, we attempt to understand the possible reasons for low efficiency of sputtered NiOx based PSCs, by investigating how the NiOx under layer is directly affecting the growth and crystallisation of compositionally engineered perovskite film and study its correlation with the perovskite optoelectronic properties and device performance. In addition to varying perovskite composition, we also employed different deposition conditions to probe the relation between the crystal growth and charge carrier dynamics at the perovskite/NiOx interface. This work further emphasizes on the importance of specific deposition conditions and compositionally designed perovskite that are suitable for enhancing the efficiency of sputtered NiOx based perovskite solar cells. A deep insights into direct correlation of different deposition conditions, and growth mechanism of perovskite with device long term stability against ambient atmosphere (~50-60% humidity) and continuous light illumination will also be covered.
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.
