One of the remaining issues, impeding the commercialization of the low cost and high efficiency perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is whether the halide perovskite materials have sufficient stability. Two important instabilities are the light-induced degradation1 and the scan-dependent performance, namely the hysteresis effect2. Using experimental parameters and parameters obtained from atomistic modelling, the perovskite/Au, perovskite/WOx and perovskite/PCBM interfaces are numerically investigated and compared to the experimental current-voltage (J-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics3. Besides interface states, the effect of mobile ions are taken into account in the drift-diffusion approach for more realistic modelling. As a result, the experimental build in potential (Vbi) variation, open circuit voltage (VOC) loss, hysteresis effects and photocurrent degradation/recovery can be explained. The interplay between interface traps and mobile ions is assumed to lead the anomalous hysteresis, while local trap states are considered as the main cause of performance degradation as a function of time. Furthermore, a new approach is proposed to the modelling of Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) of hetero-structures in dark and under illumination, aiming at estimating the surface states on the top of materials and understanding the carrier operation inside the cells.

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.
