Proceedings of International Conference Asia-Pacific Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (AP-HOPV17)

In this work, we discussed about the interface between perovskite and electron transport layer (ETL) to improve the performance of the perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with reducing the energy loss at the material interfaces in the PSCs. The TiCl4 treatment for the compact TiO2 layer to increase the performance of PSC has been reported. The effect of the TiCl4 treatment was considered as the cause of the wettability increases of the precursor solution of the perovskite on TiO2 compact layer and the efficient charge transport from perovskite layer to TiO2 layer. However, TiCl4 treatment may change the conduction band edge (CBE) potentials. The adjustment of the CBE potentials will be important issue to obtain the low barrier potentials for electron transfer from perovskite to TiO2 compact layers. To study the effect of the TiCl4 treatment on the CBE potentials, we prepared the electrochemical cells with the iodide and tri-iodide redox electrolyte and treated substrate with TiCl4 aqueous solution and the relation between open circuit voltages (Voc) and the electron density in TiO2 layer of the cells were measured with the charge extraction methods. The Voc as the quasi CBE potential was negatively shifted with the TiCl4 treatment but positively shifted with heating after TiCl4 treatment. We compared the PSCs performance as the different heating temperature at 150 °C, 300 °C, and 450 °C of the TiCl4 treated compact TiO2 layers. The Voc was decreased and the short circuit current was increased with increasing the temperature. The highest PCE was obtained with the heating at 300 °C.
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.
