In printable and low-cost next-generation solar cells, perovskite solar cell has gathered large attention these years for its high efficiency (> ~22%) in addition to ease of fabrication with low-cost materials. To achieve the sufficient device reproducibility, uniformity, and reliability in the long-time use, many scientific and practical issues still remain. Furthermore, higher efficiency is still required with large active area for the commercial applications. In this study, we focus on the scientific understanding of 1) perovskite/scaffold interface and 2) annealing process potentially affecting to the crystallization of CH3NH3PbI3 for perovskite solar cell. Firstly, we present the facet chemistry of TiO2 scaffold with utilizing specific facet-dominant TiO2 nanoparticles for constructing meso-porous scaffold for perovskite solar cells. Furthermore, the solar cell properties with specific facet dominant anatase TiO2 scaffold is discussed in detail with regarding the electron transport properties measured by a series of photoelectrochemical impedance spectroscopy including the characterization of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite crystals. Secondary, we present the annealing effects on characterization of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite crystals. We especially propose a microwave heating applied to the annealing process of to create the CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite crystalline films through the conversion of the intermediate state of as-coated precursor films into perovskite poly-crystalline films. Observed rapid conversion process into perovskite crystals with higher crystallinity indicates that MW is potentially applicable for the rapid process of perovskite solar cell creation. Furthermore, even the degradation of perovskite to be PbI2 by evaporation of methylammonium iodide at relatively lower temperature to the conventional hotplate heating imply a promising process to achieve novel high throughput annealing process at low-temperature. The direct and effective heating effect by MW is discussed from the point of the crystallinity of CH3NH3PbI3.
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.
