Methylammonium lead iodide (MAPI), which is the halide perovskite that is currently in the focus of photovoltaic research because of its high conversion efficiencies. In this contribution we discuss equilibrium space charge effects in MAPI and concentrate on the MAPI/TiO2 and MAPI/Al2O3 contacts. Irrespective of polarization phenomena building up under operation, already the equilibrium situation is dominated by space charge effects (built-in space charge). While such equilibrium space charge effects are only considered in terms of electronic charge carrier redistribution, we will apply a generalized picture that discusses both ionic and electronic redistribution. We fine that ionic carriers are not only relevant, but they even dictated the space charge potential which the electrons have to follow (fellow-traveler effect). Our analysis is based on the measurement of electronic and ionic conductivities in MAPI/TiO2 and MAPI/Al2O3 composites, a technique that has been successfully applied in solid states ionics [1-3]. Those findings give strong indications of ionically-driven equilibrium space potentials forming at the MAPI/TiO2 and MAPI/Al2O3 interfaces. This study provides a completely new perspective for interfacial research in lead halide perovskites.

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.
