Perovskite solar cells have attracted substantial attention due to their promising efficiency, but their operational stability, particularly at the interfaces with charge transport layers, remains a key limitation. This issue is especially critical in inverted (p-i-n) architectures, where fullerene-based electron transport layers often compromise long-term device stability. In response, the use of low-dimensional perovskite interlayers with hydrophobic organic spacers was explored to improve stability by templating the perovskite structure. [1] However, conventional organic cations used in these interlayers are typically electronically inert, which hampers charge extraction and reduces overall device efficiency. In this work, we introduce low-dimensional perovskites incorporating electroactive napthalimide- and napthalenediimide-based spacers.[2,3] These functional organic moieties also enable modification or replacement of the fullerene-based electron transport layers, producing passivated interfaces that support efficient charge transport. This strategy led to improved photovoltaic performance, achieving power conversion efficiencies exceeding 20% along with enhanced device stability, underlining the value of electroactive interlayers in optimizing inverted perovskite solar cells.
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.
