Altering the optoelectronic properties of the widely used hole transport layer (HTL), namely, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate), commonly known as PEDOT:PSS, with sodium polystyrenesulfonate (Na-PSS) overcomes limitations of the conventional pristine PEDOT:PSS HTL-based optoelectronic devices. The introduction of Na-PSS into pristine PEDOT:PSS results in a reduced energy barrier between the HTL and light-emission layer (EML), leading to improved hole injection, thereby lowering the turn-on voltage and improving the perovskite light-emitting diode (Pe-LED) efficiency. The pH value of acidic pristine PEDOT:PSS is modulated by the addition of Na-PSS, which aids in preventing the corrosion of the underlying semitransparent indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) electrode. The modulation of the pH value resulted in higher thermal tolerance of the perovskite emission layer coated on top of the HTL. The introduction of Na-PSS creates a PSS-rich environment, which prevents nonradiative recombination of excitons at the HTL/EML interface. This enhances the efficiency of the Pe-LED device by allowing more excitons to recombine radiatively. Moreover, the addition of Na-PSS modulates the conductivity of pristine PEDOT:PSS, resulting in effective confinement of charge carriers within the EML, increasing the probability of electron–hole recombination within the EML, and improving the device efficiency. The use of Na-PSS-modified PEDOT:PSS significantly enhances the performance of the Pe-LED device, and the efficiency values outperformed those of pristine PEDOT:PSS-based Pe-LED devices. The Pe-LED devices with Na-PSS-modified HTL have a low turn-on voltage (2.8 V)@1 cd/m2, high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 10.05%, and current and power efficiency of 40.89 cd/A and 35.95 lm/W, respectively. Most notable advantage of the Na-PSS-modified HTL is the significant improvement in the operational stability of the Pe-LED devices, with the electroluminescent (EL) lifetime 4 times longer in comparison to that of Pe-LED devices having pristine PEDOT:PSS as HTL.

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.
