The dynamic nature of hybrid perovskite crystal structure has enabled unusual optoelectronic properties. Subtle changes the structure can lead to dramatic changes in optical and electronic properties of perovskite based materials. In addition, external stimuli (light or electric field) significantly impacts the properties all the way from the molecular to the macroscale. While such a dynamic nature of the structure poses challenges using those material for device operation but also offer opportunity to discover new functionalities. Therefore, understanding the interplay between structure, light and electrical field using in-situ correlated measurements is critical not only for understanding optoelectronic transport processes, and but also for elucidating design principles for operation of perovskite based devices.
In my talk, I will introduce our study on the correlation of perovskite structure and deformation in response to external stimulation (e.g. light and electrical field) to the device operation in perovskite based optoelectronic devices. Using correlated in-situ structure and transport measurements, I will focus on understanding these complex effects arising from the interaction between structure, light and field during perovskite cell operation in both 3D and 2D systems. Briefly, in a 3D perovskite system, we discover that continuous light illumination leads to a uniform lattice expansion in hybrid perovskite thin-films, which is critical for obtaining high-efficiency photovoltaic devices, boosting the power conversion efficiency from 18.5% to 20.5% in a planar perovskite solar cell. This is a direct consequence of lattice strain relaxation and increase in the crystallite size that dramatically suppresses the interface non-radiative recombination, resulting in enhanced photovoltage and photocurrent collection near low field. Similar studies on Ruddlesden-Popper 2D perovskites, a naturally formed quantum-well system, elucidates that the overall power conversion efficiency of solar cells is limited by the internal structure and built-in internal electrical field.
Our results directly connect the electronic and optical processes with the structural properties and provides guidance on design principles perovskite based materials for high-efficiency and stable optoelectronic devices.
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.
