Publication date: 18th December 2016
The impressively fast technological progress of highly efficient perovskite solar cells based on organic-anorganic lead halides such as CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPI) has made a huge impact on the photovoltaic research community. There are two main concerns linked to this technology: The device stability and the involvement of the heavy metal Pb. In consequence, major research efforts are put into the development of new material solutions and enhanced device architectures. One promising class of candidates are double perovskites, where two Pb ions (group IV) are replaced by one group III ion and one group V ion. In our contribution, we report on the successful synthesis of Cs2AgBiBr6 single crystals and their fundamental opto-electronic characterization. This lead-free double perovskite has an indirect band gap of 1.95 eV and is reported to have better stability than MAPI. Here, we report on our structural characterization by X-ray diffraction and a detailed study of the vibrational modes investigated by multi-wavelength Raman spectroscopy. In addition, we present an effective methodology to detect secondary phases in this material. We find the single crystals to be stable at ambient air conditions up to a temperature of approximately 200ºC. Finally, the potential of this material for photovoltaic applications will be discussed.
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.
