The effect of introducing surfactant free Au, Ag and Al nanoparticles, produced by ultrafast laser ablation in liquids, in the PEDOT:PSS hole transport layer of planar inverted perovskite solar cells was systematically studied. The Ag nanoparticles incorporation lead to the highest power conversion efficiency improvement (~12%) among the other nanoparticle doped devices compared to the pristine. This efficiency gain was attributed to improved hole extraction due to the enhanced conductivity of the Ag nanoparticles doped hole transport layer. This argument was supported by the combinatorial study of photoluminescence spectroscopy and conductivity measurements of the PEDOT:PSS/CH3NH3PbI3-xClx coated glass substrates with and without the addition of the different metal nanoparticles in the hole transport layer. On the other hand, the Al nanoparticles based cells significantly increased the stability of the devices. This result was attributed to the stabilization of the PEDOT:PSS/CH3NH3PbI3-xClx interface. Finally, the addition of both Ag and Al NPs in the hole transport layer resulted a simultaneous enhancement in the efficiency (12.4% highest) and stability of the device compared to the undoped device.

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.
