Metal halide perovskites are mixed ionic-electronic conductors extremely efficient for making solar cells, due to its strong absorption in the visible and their relatively slow recombination. Processes like transport, recombination, charge accumulation, hysteresis, etc. occur at very different time scales and determine the photovoltaic performance of the solar cell. Small-perturbation, frequency-modulated optoelectronic techniques such as impedance spectroscopy (IS) or intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopies (IMPS/IMVS) are especially suited to detect, deconvolute and quantify all these processes.
In this talk we discuss a couple of examples where these techniques are used to investigate perovskite solar cells:
(1) By measuring the impedance and the open-circuit photopotential at two excitation wavelengths (blue and red light), in two illumination directions (back and front), and at different temperatures we gain insight on the locus and nature of recombination in TiO2 mesoporous-based perovskite solar cells. With this objective we study different perovskite compositions, i.e., pure MAPbI3 and CsPbI3, as well as mixed ion-based (FAPbI3)0.85(MABr3)0.15, and two different hole selective layers (Spiro-OMeTAD and P3HT)
(2) We again use monochromatic excitations in IS and IMPS to establish how moisture-induced degradation introduce inhomogeneities in the recombination loss at the active layer, hindered transport and charge accumulation at the interfaces.
A simple model is proposed to rationalize the small-perturbation response of the device and its impact on efficiency-determining dynamic processes.
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.
