In this work, the 3D structuration of perovskite films is studied in order to highlight the effect of a periodic porous structure on the optical properties of the films (light harvesting, optical coloration, semi-transparency…) and on the PV efficiency, in comparison with dense perovskite films usually used in planar solar cells configuration.
The opal-like perovskite scaffold is obtained from templating fabrication method, with polystyrene beads as structuring agent. Five PS bead diameters are studied: 300 nm, 540 nm, 810 nm, 1.0 µm and 2.1 µm, to highlight the effect of the PS bead diameter on the optical properties of the films and on the PV efficiency. PbI2/CH3NH3I 0.7M in DMSO leads to the most covering, homogeneous and overlayer-free porous films. The PV efficiency of the corresponding cells increases with the bead diameter. A significant improvement in the PV conversion efficiency is observed thanks to the 3D structuration compared to a dense reference, due to the improvement of charge separation at the Spiro-OMeTAD/perovskite interface and thus to the reduction of charge recombination. In addition, CH3NH3PbI3 porous films prepared with 810 nm, 1000 nm and 2100 nm PS bead diameter respectively, are coloured, which is very interesting for building-integrated applications (BIPV).

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.
