Owing to the nontoxicity and attractive optoelectronic properties, CsSnI3 is considered as a potential lead-free inorganic perovskite for solar energy applications. Despite these advantages, CsSnI3 photovoltaic cells have not existed until now, in some ways caused by low stability. Mixed cation strategy has been used to improve the stability of CsSnI3. However, the mixing anion strategy has not used in the design of lead-free inorganic perovskites for photovoltaic application. Herein, we execute a comprehensive study of a series of lead-free and mixed ion (Rb/Cs cation-exchange or Br/I anion-exchange) inorganic halide perovskite materials. We demonstrated that how gradual substitution of Rb for Cs and Br for I influences the structural, thermodynamic, and electronic properties by means of DFT-1/2 calculations including spin-orbit coupling. We also found that substitution of Br for I can prevent the unwanted g to Y phase transition which will notably decrease the efficiency of solar cell as mentioned in other work. Most importantly, we predict that CsSn(BrxI1-x)3 can possess a direct bandgap within the optimal range of 0.9−1.6 eV when x < 2/3, with favorable effective masses for high carrier mobility. This new lead-free inorganic perovskite may have great potential for the application of photovoltaic as an alternative, highly efficient solar absorber material.
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.
