Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (LHPs NCs) exhibit outstanding spontaneous and stimulated emission properties that include high photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY), narrow emission linewidth, short radiative lifetime and high optical gain. Over the past few years, various studies showed that the structural integrity and optoelectronic properties of LHP NCs can be further improved by the development of new surface chemistry and the addition of new ligand complexes.
Herein, a comprehensive spectroscopic study is presented to probe the impact of two novel passivation strategies based on didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) and oleylguanidinium bromide (OGB) ligands on the photophysical properties of red-emitting CsPb(BrI)3 NCs. Compared to NCs capped with conventional oleic acid/oleylamine (OA/ Om) complexes, the new ligands are found to increase the PL QY of the NCs in the solid state by up to 4 times and the average exciton PL lifetime by up to 6 times. Temperature-dependent PL studies provide evidence of reduced surface trap depth and increased exciton binding energy in the NCs passivated by the DDAB and OGB ligands, further confirming the improved surface passivation. The suitability of the new ligands for photonic applications is finally demonstrated by the employment of the DDAB- CsPb(BrI)3 NCs as active gain media in solution-processed cavities formed by polymeric distributed bragg reflectors (DBRs), allowing activation of amplified spontaneous emission using quasi-cw, microsecond lasing excitation with an energy density threshold of 565 μJ/cm2.

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.
