In the last years organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites materials have attracted the interest of the research community thanks to their desired optoelectronic properties and due to the unprecedented scaling of their photovoltaic efficiency. However, the toxicity of the Pb atoms and the devices instability against moisture and temperature have hindered the commercialization of this technology. The substitution of the Pb2+ cation by a combination of a monovalent (M+) and a trivalent (M3+) cation to form double halide perovskites (A2M+M3+X6) has been considered an attractive alternative for the preparation of non-toxic and air stable devices. Despite the promising initial theoretical results on this class of materials, the preparation of high quality films of double perovskite is still challenging. The limited solubility of the inorganic precursors hampers the identification of a proper deposition route for the growth of thick and uniform layers suitable for photovoltaic applications. Vapour deposition techniques provide a valid alternative to overcome the limitation of the traditional wet chemistry methods, allowing the formation of a wide range of double perovskite compositions with a fine control over their thickness. In this talk we present the characterization of vapour deposited lead-free double perovskite and their implementation in photovoltaic devices.
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.
