Perovskite solar cells demonstrated impressive power conversion efficiencies of >22%, while their practical application is hampered by poor stability of the active materials. Functional layers of perovskite solar cells have to sustain electric fields generated by built-in and light-induced potentials. Otherwise, the electrochemical degradation of active or charge transport layer materials would ruin the solar cell performance.
In this work, we report a systematic comparative study of the electrochemical stability of a series of hybrid and all-inorganic lead halide based perovskite materials - MAPbI3, MAPbBr3, FAPbI3, FAPbBr3, CsPbBr3, CsPbI2Br. Thin films of these materials were exposed to the potentiostatic polarization under anoxic conditions using the lateral and vertical two-electrode device architectures. We have shown that polarization leads to the appearance of the field-induced gradients in the chemical composition of the films as revealed by PL and Kelvin probe microscopy and ToF-SIMS. The effects of the potentiostatic polarization of the solar cells under forward and reversed bias on their photovoltaic performance will be also discussed and interpreted using results of the light beam induced current (LBIC) mapping. Analysis of the obtained data allowed us to correlate the chemical composition of the perovskite materials with their electrochemical stability, which might guide further design of stable light absorbers for future generation photovoltaics.
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.
