Deposition method of organo-metal halide perovskite films for solar cells is classified into two: one is solution method, and another is vapor phase method. Among the vapor phase methods, dual source vacuum evaporation is a promising deposition method for perovskite films. High-efficient perovskite solar cells using this method have been reported [1,2]. However, it is difficult to control the vapor pressure of methylammonium iodide (MAI) during the deposition. Here, we present for the first time a novel vapor deposition method for MAPbI3 films using the hot-wall method to control vapor pressure of MAI. This novel deposition method was designed to convert two source materials (MAI and PbI2) into MAPbI3 perovskite phase suppressing the spreading of MAI gas in a vacuum chamber. Using this method, we have successfully deposited MAPbI3 films at low substrate temperature of 40°C. The structural characterization and surface morphology of the deposited films were examined by X-ray diffraction and AFM observation, respectively. We also fabricated inverted planar heterojunction solar cells with a glass/TCO/HTL/MAPbI3/C60/BCP/Ag structure using the deposited MAPbI3 films. In the solar cells, we used PEDOT:PSS and copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) as hole transport layer (HTL). The best solar cell exhibited a power conversion efficiency of 11.6% for forward scan and 12.8 % for reverse scan.

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.
