Carbon based perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs) are an attractive concept that allows promising results in terms of performance and stability of perovskite devices without having recourse to expensive hole transporting layers (HTL), namely Spiro-OMeTAD, a p-type material generally used by state-of-the-art perovskite-based devices. However, the absence of an HTL hinders the performance of the C-PSCs mainly perceived in the lower fill factor (FF) values obtained, which is an important indication of the performance and quality of solar cell devices. This work reports on a certified world record efficiency of 15.5% for hole selective layer (HSL) free printed carbon-electrode based perovskite solar cell, it also reports on a world record fill factor of 78.8% obtained through the certified measurements, which approaches the highest values reported in metal based electrode devices employing highly selective HSLs. The impact of the non-radiative recombination and resistivity losses on the fill factor (FF) of solar devices was investigated. We find only 3%abs loss due to non-radiative recombination with respect to the FF in the radiative limit of 90%, which can be attributed to an optimal diode ideality factor approaching 1.0. Moreover, contributions of shunt resistive losses are found to be negligible. We also discuss the theoretical physical constraints on the FF and examine its maximum obtainable potential.

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.
