Issues on stability and durability of hybrid perovskites are dramatically delaying the large dissemination of low cost/high yield related technologies for photovoltaic, light sensing and emitting purposes. Thereby, the advance of the technologies is currently forced to pass through the rationalization of the phenomena occurring into the hybrid lattice under conditions which mimic the material operation. In this framework, we study the structural modifications of MAPbI3 layers by in-situ structural and optical analyses upon recursive thermal cycles from 30°C to 80°C in different annealing environments. We reveal a hitherto unknown phenomenon consisting in an acceleration of the material degradation, above what expected, as the threshold of the tetragonal to cubic transition (50°C) is surpassed. This produces discontinuities in the degradation rate, bandgap and dielectric behavior of the material. The phenomenon is put in relationship with the order-disorder lattice modifications described by Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics calculations, and reveals that the action of species from humid air becomes largely more effective above 50°C for reasons related to the increased accessibility/reactivity of the lattice which, in turn, rises defects generation.
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.
