Understanding the influence of the temperature on the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is essential for device optimization and improving the stability of devices in outdoor conditions. In addition, knowing the transient thermal response of PSCs (in terms of efficiency and cell temperature) to an external agent change (light intensity, temperature, wind speed) is essential to determine the span of temperature required in the experimental measurement protocols [1,2]. In this work, we study the dynamic temperature-dependent performance of PSCs cell temperature and efficiency) and propose a full model to predict its energy yield (EY) under realistic conditions. This model stands out for the inclusion of a robust thermal model which allows estimating the cell temperature from given meteorological conditions. A thermal transient resistor-capacitor (RC) circuit model, previously developed and validated for silicon photovoltaic modules[3], is adapted to estimate the cell temperature and simulate the transient thermal performance of the perovskite solar cell as a function of device parameters and environmental variables. We measure the current-voltage curves as a function of the temperature and light intensities and extract its efficiency which allows the prediction of the device performance. Linking the experimental electrical and optical dependence of PSCs and the thermal model we analyze the most sensible layers that increase the device temperature. Finally, we evaluate the EY of PSC working on different geographical locations and show the impact of temperature on this prediction. The proper calculation of the cell temperature is essential not only to calculate the EY, but also as an input to predict the lifetime of the device.
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.
