While hybrid perovskite solar cells attract considerable attention due to their remarkable solar-to-electric power conversion efficiencies,[1] their limited stability and molecular-level engineering remain challenging.[1–4] In contrast to three-dimensional perovskites, their layered analogs show promising stabilities.[1,5-6] In order to benefit from their enhanced stabilities without compromising the performance, we demonstrate a supramolecular strategy in the design of organic spacers based on fine-tuning noncovalent interactions complemented by their structural adaptability.[4-6] These systems are devised to interact with the perovskite surface in a manner uniquely assessed by solid-state NMR spectroscopy.[3-4,6] As a result, we obtain solar cells with superior properties based on formamidinium lead iodide compositions with efficiencies surpassing those of the state-of-the-art formamidinium-based layered perovskites, accompanied by enhanced stabilities.[5-6] This has been investigated using a combination of techniques to unravel the design principles and exemplify the role of supramolecular engineering in advancing perovskite solar cell research.

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.
