In recent years, progress in the synthesis, and, especially, surface chemistry of colloidal nanomaterials led to steadily improved electronic coupling, conductivity and charge mobility in nanocrystal films. This has important implications for performance of nanomaterials in various devices, where high mobility helps to collect charges in photodetectors and solar cells, and maximizes brightness of LEDs and lasers. We discuss a set of experimental studies for quantum dot (QD) and metal nanocrystal arrays which show unprecedentedly good electronic properties and provide a new platform for in-depth studies of charge transport through a network of discrete quantum-confined electronic states. To the best of our knowledge, we demonstrate the first instance of resolved charge filling of quantum states in solid state QD devices. This has been achieved by applying novel surface passivation strategies that efficiently eliminated surface states, thus allowing for reversible charging of QDs, switching between n-type and p-type transport, and air-stable tunable doping. The metal nanocrystal superlattices showed metallic transport, characteristic of the extended electronic states, or minibands. For QD films casted at room temperature without any post treatments, we observe “band-like” transport at temperatures above 70K. Furthermore, the measured FET mobilities up to ~8 cm2V-1s-1 are similar to the measured Hall mobility. This opens up a host of exciting opportunities for QD technologies and also raises important questions about the degree of electron delocalization and transport in QD solids. These questions are vital to the prospects of colloidal nanomaterials for competitive electronic and optoelectronic technologies.
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.
