The overwhelming interest in perovskite solar cells asks for an in-depth understanding of the underlying operation mechanisms. Device simulation is an important tool to shed light on the working principle of perovskite solar cells and thus facilitates the further optimization of the cells. Several attempts to model perovskite solar cells with a one dimensional drift-diffusion approach have been made in the recent past [1,2,3] by including ion migration in the model. In this contribution, we compare the different drift-diffusion modelling approaches [1,2,3] and investigate the influence of the model ingredients such as boundary conditions, mobile or static ion density and mobilities on the transient current response. We therefore solve the set of partial differential equations containing Poisson’s equation and the continuity equations for electrons, holes and mobile ions fully coupled with Newton’s algorithm in the time as well as frequency domain.To illustrate the beneficial use of this 1D drift-diffusion model, we analyse the transient simulation results such as the current response to a voltage step or to a light pulse over several orders of magnitude in time. Moreover, we study impedance spectroscopy data and the resulting capacitance and conductance. We discuss the evolution of charge carrier and ion distribution profiles over time. The transient response is altered significantly upon application of a pre-bias. In forward biasing conditions, the transient electroluminescence signal can be evaluated. The results are compared with transient measurements of planar perovskite solar cells and the pre-biasing conditions are considered.

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.
