Publication date: 18th December 2016
Perovskite solar cells with all-organic transport layers have shown efficiencies rivalling their counterparts that employ inorganic transport layers while avoiding high temperature processing. In this contribution we show that reduced non-radiative recombination as a result of better blocking behaviour at the interface between the perovskite and fullerenes is the determining factor for high open-circuit voltages in our (p-i-n) perovskite solar cells. Exemplary, we employ UPS/IPES to determine the energetics of the contact layers adjacent to the perovskite and correlate this with the fluorescence lifetime, which allows us to enhance the open-circuit voltage while preserving good charge colletion efficiency in our devices (i.e. high fill-factors above 70%). Consequently we produce solar cells with efficiencies up to 19.4% accompanied by open-circuit voltages as high as 1.16V reflected in external radiative efficiencies of up to 0.3% at carrier densities equivalent to solar AM1.5G conditions. This work highlights the importance of well-chosen selective contacts in achieving highly efficient devices, adresses the losses in perovsktie solar cells and seeks to redress some of the misleadings regarding figures-of-merit often presented (e.g. photoluminescence quenching).
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.
