The high efficiency conversion (up-to 21.6 % [1]) of alkylammonium lead halide perovskite solar cells has attracted the attention of the scientific community in the recent years. Despite the spectacular advances in cell efficiency, many aspects of the methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) are poorly understood. In particular, the origin of its colossal dielectric constant, which is amplified under illumination,[2] remains still unsettled. Additionally, it is well known that moisture affects the MAPbI3 in many ways (morphology, crystallization, etc.) and that under moisture conditions at room temperature it suffers a phase transformation into MAPbI3.H2O,[3] leading to an inclusion of water molecules inside its structure.
In this context, the goal of this work is try to obtain experimental evidence about the origin of large dielectric constant of the MAPbI3 and the role of moisture conditions.
In this work, we have measured the complex dielectric permittivity and carry out an impedance spectroscopy analysis on a pellet samples and thin films as a function of frequency (1 Hz - 1 MHz) and temperature (100 K - 350 K). Also, we have studied the influence of the moisture conditions on the dielectric and conductivity response of the MAPbI3 compound. Very interestingly, the experimental findings point out that the presence of moisture induces several changes at the values of the dielectric constant and conductivity on the MAPbI3 material at room temperature.

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.
