Within the past few years, metal halide perovskites have been attracting significant interest due to their successful application to optoelectronic devices. These materials have been used in lasers, photodetectors, and most commonly, in photovoltaic devices and light emitting diodes. Despite the cheap and simple fabrication methods by which these materials are deposited, high quality perovskite films can be readily fabricated, and the power conversion efficiencies of lead halide perovskite solar cells are now approaching certified values of 23%. However, perovskite-based devices are yet to achieve their full potential. One of the major hindrances to achieving this potential is an incomplete understanding of perovskite surfaces and interfaces. Deficiencies at these interfaces may be responsible for the largest losses in perovskite based optoelectronic devices; hindering charge extraction, increasing non-radiative recombination rates and hysteresis, and significantly increasing the voltage loss perovskite photovoltaics. We propose surface doping of the perovskite material as a means to combat these interface deficiencies. Herein, we will discuss doping of the perovskite material at various interfaces using well-established charge-transfer dopants. We show the doping of the perovskite material through both solid-state NMR and surface characterisation techniques, and further characterise the material through photoluminescence measurements, showing a reduction in the non-radiative recombination. Using this method of interface doping, we show photovoltaic devices with reduced hysteresis, low voltage losses, steady-state power conversion efficiencies in excess of 20%, and improved stability. Additionally, we extend this approach beyond photovoltaics and show the beneficial impacts of this type of interface engineering on perovskite-based light emitting diodes.
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.
