Metal halide perovskites have emerged as promising photovoltaic materials, with record efficiencies beyond 20%. Among other, one of the unique properties of perovskites is their tunable band gap. While most studies have been directed towards the developments of small bandgap absorber, wide bandgap systems have not been explored in details. Realizing efficient solar cells with bandgap of about 2 eV would enable the fabrication of perovskite-perovskite tandem cells with efficiencies exceeding 23%, hence surpassing the efficiency of single junction devices. In this work we combine the beneficial stabilizing effects of Cs and FA cations to study the band gap variation and the properties of the perovskite compound Cs0.15FA0.85Pb(BrxI1-x)3 as a function of the halides composition, with the aim of developing an efficient complementary absorber for MAPbI3 in a perovskite tandem device. We have found the perovskite stoichiometry Cs0.15FA0.85Pb(Br0.7I0.3)3 to be a promising candidate, thanks to its band gap of approximately 2 eV. We also present an efficient monolithic tandem solar cells based on Cs0.15FA0.85Pb(BrxI1-x)3 and MAPbI3. By employing doped organic semiconductors, an efficient extraction of the photogenerated charge carriers is ensured, while carrier recombination at the perovskite interfaces is prohibited by using intrinsic and selective charge transport layers. Despite the non-ideal combination of bandgaps in the two subcells, we demonstrate perovskite-perovskite tandem cells delivering an average PCE of 15%, with a maximum efficiency obtained of 18%.
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.
