A simple, low-cost, large area and continuous scalable coating system is proposed for the fabrication of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs). We developed a megasonic spray coating system utilizing 1.7 MHz megasonic nebulizer that could fabricate reproducible large-area planar efficient perovskite films. The system demonstrates a unique technique that could be easily adapted to polymer substrates, large-area devices, and large-area modules with its low temperature and ambient conditions. Our system was shown to fabricate uniform large-area perovskite film with large-sized grain since smaller and narrower sized mist droplets could be generated by megasonic spraying than those by existing ultrasonic spray methods. We control the volume flow rate of the CH3NH3PbI3 precursor solution, the reaction temperature and scan speed of the system, to obtain high quality perovskite active layer. We fabricate PSCs achieving best power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 18.6%, and average PCEs of 17.2% ± 0.6% from 32 sub-cells, using a perovskite coating area of 100 cm2. Our megasonic spray coating approach is therefore expected to be suitable for large‐area continuous coating in PSCs, which makes it suitable for application in commercial roll‐to‐roll processing.

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.
