Stability beside efficiency is rapidly becoming the most important topic in perovskite solar cells research. Spiro-OMeTAD, Poly(3-Hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and poly(triaryl amine) (PTAA) are the most common small molecule and organic semiconducting polymers which are used as hole transport material (HTM) in perovskite solar cell [1,2]. Regarding the thermal stability issue, Spiro-OMeTAD starts crystallizing at 85 °C due to its low glass transition temperature inducing a significant deterioration of the hole mobility and a consequent thermal instability of PSCs. Thermal stability can significantly improve by replacing the Spiro-OMeTAD with PTAA and P3HT polymers attributed to instinct characteristics of polymer as oxygen impermeability and hydrophobicity [3,4,5].In this work, we fabricated high efficiencyperovskite solar modules using PTAA and Spiro-OMeTAD, which had achieved a hysteresis-freephotoconversion efficiencies above 16.5% with active area of 43 cm2which is among the highest reported in the field of perovskite solar modules. Improving Voc was observed in the case of PTAA as HTM. The photovoltaic (PV) performance, thermal stability and light stability, UV-Vis absorbance, Photoluminscence (PL), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Transient Photovoltage and Photocurrent Fall/Rise analysis have been investigated and compared for Spiro-OMeTAD and PTAA based PSCs. PTAA-based encapsulated devices show more than 1000 h thermal stability at 85 °C under atmospheric condition and it shows better thermal stability respect to the Spiro-OMetad in which is serves as a suitable candidate for scale-up the PSCs.However, in the case of light stability,we did not observedhuge differences between polymeric and small molecules HTM. Non-encapsulated devices show promising shelf life stability around 1800 hunder N2 filled environment equalfor both Spiro-OMeTAD and PTAA HTMs.
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.
