Proceedings of Online Meetup - Beyond Lead Halide Perovskites: Syntheses and Applications of Metal Halide Semiconductors (MABP)
Publication date: 23rd April 2020
Polycrystalline films of metal halide perovskites present outstanding properties with huge potential in different contexts such as solid state illumination (LEDs), photovoltaics or nonlinear optical properties, among others. However, much about the working principles of these materials is not fully understood so far. This includes basic aspects such as the correlation of the photophysics with the structure, defects and morphology of the film itself and also with the present interfaces and layers in contact with them and even with the substrate characteristics. The lability of the compounds facilitates the synthesis at low temperatures but also confer low environmental stability which strongly limit their practical use in photovoltaics. Further, final properties are very dependent not only of the perovskite active layer but on the nature and properties of interfaces in the full device. Using strategies such as doping with ions or combining with graphene or organic molecules, we study the degradation and structure-properties correlations as well as on the stabilization and induced novel properties. We doped either the active layer or transport interlayer. By XRD, optical spectroscopy, and PV and IS characterizations of the device we observed that even small modifications has strong effect in final properties. Here, we show how a small concentration of graphene platelets into the PEDOT:PSS HTL layer in MAPbI3 inverted solar cells improve environmental stability and photovoltaic performance. Or acting directly on the MAPbI3 active layer, doping with small molecules, transport properties can be improved, resulting in an increase in Voc.

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.
