Recently, lead free all-inorganic double perovskites have revolutionized photovoltaic research, showing promising light emitting efficiency and tunability via modification of inherent structural/chemical properties. Carrier-lattice interactions via Frohlich mechanism is known to be the dominant scattering mechanism, dictating carrier mobility near room temperature for these compounds. In this talk, I will present a combined theoretical and experimental study on the variation of carrier-lattice interaction and optoelectronic properties of Cs2AgIn1-xBixCl6 double perovskite with varying alloying concentration. Using a careful analysis of Raman spectra assisted with first-principles simulations, we assign the possible three types of active modes to intrinsic atomic vibrations; 2 T2g modes, 1 Eg and 1 A1g for various stretching of Ag-Cl octahedra. Ab-initio simulation reveals dominant carrier-phonon scattering via Fröhlich mechanism near room temperature, with longitudinal optical phonons being effectively activated around 230 K. We observe a noticeable increase in hole mobility with small Bi alloying (~4 times). This is attributed to the valence band maxima acquiring Bis orbital characteristics, thus increasing its dispersive nature. We believe that our results should help to gain a better understanding of the intrinsic electronic and lattice dynamical properties of similar class compounds. Reference(s):

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.
