A better understanding of the surface and bulk photophysics of hybrid perovskite is crucial to improve the efficiency of devices. The study of high quality single crystals should enable to highlight the intrinsic properties of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOPs).1 However, there are important discrepancies in the literature regarding the basic optical properties of HOP single crystals, such as the emission spectra.2,3 Here, we have investigated the surface and bulk properties of CH3NH3PbBr3 single crystals with a combination of cathodoluminescence (CL), steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Firstly, depth-resolved CL has been used to probe the near surface region on depth ranging from a few nanometers to several micrometers. Secondly, we have studied the transmitted PL through different thicknesses between 50 and 600 µm. In both cases, experimental emission spectra were compared with simulated spectra, taking into account reabsorption effect. The results reveal the strong impact of reabsorption on the emission of hybrid perovskites. Reabsorption effect explains mainly the large variation of the emission spectra reported for hybrid perovskite single crystals, as well as the existence of two PL peaks at room temperature. In addition, we show that hybrid perovskite single crystals, even with millimeter size, are partially transparent to their own luminescence and radiative transport is the dominant mechanism for the propagation of the excitation in thick crystals The transmitted PL presents a long rising time and a lengthening of its decay due to photon recycling and light-trapping.4

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.
