Perovskite solar cells have attracted much attention as cost-effective next generation printable photovoltaics. Power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) in such cells have been substantially increased in a relatively short period, mainly on account of improvements of the fabrication protocols for the perovskite layer as well as the development of new materials for buffer layers. In this presentation, our approaches toward development of high PCE cells in terms of materials science are introduced.
Regarding the molecular design for organic semiconductors that are used as p-type buffer layer in perovskite solar cells, we have reported that the use of partially oxygen-bridged triarylamines as quasiplanar scaffolds for charge-transporting materials facilitates delocalized pi-conjugation and on-top pi-stacking in the solid state, which ensures high carrier mobilities in the pi-stacking direction. In this study, we designed and synthesized the two-dimensionally expanded system (HND-Azulene) with a sheet-shaped structure, in which four oxygen-bridged triarylamines that contain alkoxy groups to enhance the solubility were attached to an azulene core skeleton. Using HND-Azulene as a HTM in perovskite solar cells led to high PCEs, even compared to Spiro-OMeTAD. In this presentation, we will report our recent progress on the development of new buffer material as well as our optimized protocol of perovskite layer deposition method.
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.
