We report on room temperature, solution-processed transparent Ag nanowire (AgNW) electrodes with enhanced conductivity, transparency, as well as chemical and mechanical stability. AgNW films were made with fast, large area, ultrasonic spray-coating technology. Different dilution ratios of nanowires/solvent and deposition parameters (such as flow-rate and scan-rate) where tested for optimizing the sheet resistance and optical transmittance. In a fast and low temperature post-deposition plasma-process, the AgNW films where cured to reduce the nanowire contact resistance, which greatly influences the film conductivity. The process proved to be suitable for both glass and PET substrates. Nanowire films achieved comparable sheet resistance and transparency as the ITO reference electrode (>80% transparency with ~10 Ω/square.). To lower the roughness and increase the stability, AgNW films were embedded in a UV-curable polymer and then transferred onto the target substrate. The process was optimized for embedding AgNW films on glass and PET. Improvement of the chemical stability of the embedded AgNW films was observed in first tests with methylammonium lead iodide chloride (CH3NH3PbI3-xClx) perovskite inks. In non-embedded AgNW films, despite overcoating with PEDOT:PSS degradation was observed. By embedding the AgNW films, the degradation was hampered.
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.
