Proceedings of Materials for Sustainable Development Conference (MAT-SUS) (NFM22)
Publication date: 11th July 2022
During the recent years, the interest in organic-inorganic perovskites for the development of photovoltaic materials has notably risen. These materials stand out due to their highly tunable properties depending on the chemical composition and the ease of synthesis in mild conditions employing solutions. Perovskite-based solar cells have reached efficiencies up to 24% [1], turning them into an alternative to silicon and a highly interesting topic in the development of renewable energies.
Classically, perovskite-based photovoltaic devices have employed layers composed of nanocrystals, however, the grain boundaries impose a limit to their maximum efficiency. Single crystals are proposed as a solution to this problem, but their synthesis raises new challenges due to lack of control during crystallization.
The development of an automated flow platforms aims to enhance the reproducibility of the process and, therefore, reduce the resources consumption. The proposed system is based in the Inverse Temperature Crystallization (ITC) technique [2]. This allows to obtain single crystals in a faster fashion than using classical crystallization techniques, a few hours instead of days, and without the need of additional materials like antisolvents. The central body of the system is manufactured employing 3D printing, the material used in the fabrication allows to have improved nucleation control.

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.
