Ion migration is one of the main mechanisms for degradation and dynamic changes during the operation of perovskite devices. These undesirable effects need to be suppressed for large-scale commercialization.
For example, ion migration leads to phase segregation in mixed-halide perovskites. By applying pressure, we show that compressive strain can reduce phase segregation. The reduction comes from an increase in the activation energy for ion migration, which slows down the phase segregation[1]. Perhaps more importantly, strain also affects the thermodynamics of the mixed and de-mixed perovskite phases. At high compressive strain the thermodynamically stable phase is more mixed then at ambient pressure[2].
While applying pressure is impractical to stabilize real devices, we also show that compositional engineering can have a similar effect. For example, using a smaller cation leads to shrinkage of the lattice which also reduces ion migration. Other compositional differences that affect the ion migration are the mixing ratio of halides[3], and the application of 2D perovskite layers. I will show initial results on the reduction of ion migration when introducing these 2D layers, even though it is not yet clear if the reduction of ion migration stems from strain effects or steric hindrance.
Overall, understanding effect of structural changes on ion migration, and hence on intrinsic material stability, is crucial to stabilize perovskite devices for many decades under operation.
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.
