Optoelectronic devices based on the use of APbX3-type perovskites have demonstrated the enormous potential offered by such semiconductors especially in the photovoltaic field. Parallel to the impressive technological results, there are nevertheless open debates on the origins of their fundamental properties. The study of the correlation between the dynamics of the crystalline network and the electronic properties is a clear example [1]. The polar nature of these so-called “soft” materials can play an important role on the response to vibrational movements that can influence, for example, the mobility of the generated charges. In the case of the MAPbI3 bulk material, it is well known how the bandgap presents an unusual temperature dependence with respect to the general trend for inorganic semiconductors [2]. In this regard it has been recently demonstrated how the thermal expansion and the electron-phonon coupling contribute equally to the variation of the bandgap with the temperature [3]. Together with perovskite solar cells research boom, the nanocrystal counterparts also proved to be an interesting alternative for light emission (high quantum yield) and tandem solar cells applications (bandgap tunability) [4]. Even so, the study of their optoelectronic features suffers from lack of data, partly due to the difficulty in obtaining homogeneous materials suitable for the techniques for the optical characterization. In this work we have been able to carry out an in-depth analysis of the dependence of the bandgap of MAPbI3 nanocrystals with temperature, being able to discriminate the contribution of thermal expansion and electron-phonon interactions making use of photoluminescence measurements at low temperature and high pressure. This type of characterization is possible thanks to the use of an alternative method for the preparation of nanocrystals, in which the perovskites are embedded into a porous SiO2-based matrix in the form of a thin film with optical quality [5]. This allows to monitor the behavior of perovskites in a direct way, using a neutral dielectric environment and avoiding the distortions, in the response, generated by the presence of ligands.
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.
