The control over light polarization remains an unsolved challenge in optoelectronic technologies such as displays or photographic cameras. In these applications, the main drawback is the significant optical losses produced by polarizers used to generate polarized light. In such a context, organometal halide perovskites (OMHP) can play a decisive role given their tuneable optical properties such as bandgap and photoluminescence, and excellent light emission with a low non-radiative recombination rate. Their outstanding electrical properties have elevated hybrid perovskites as the material of choice in photovoltaics and optoelectronics. The nanostructured form of OMHP such as nanowires and nanorods, have recently arisen as key players in the control of light polarization.
In this work, [Castillo-Seoane, J., et al. Advanced Materials, 2022] we propose the application of an evolved version of the vacuum technique Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD) as an advanced alternative to the synthesis of anisotropic supported OMHP nanostructures. Our approach is a two-step fabrication procedure consisting of the room temperature deposition of PbI2 at glancing angles, followed by deposition of CH3NH3I at normal incidence (0º). As a result, highly anisotropic perovskite nanostructures resembling “nanowalls” have been fabricated. Such alignment degree endows the samples with anisotropic optical properties such as UV-Visible absorption and photoluminescence. Moreover, their implementation in n-i-p solar cells can be used to develop self-powered polarization-sensitive photodetectors along the visible range. Therefore, the application of Glancing Angle Deposition provides highly anisotropic, microstructure and thickness controlled OMHP, with potential for large area fabrication. This technique is fully compatible with microelectronic and optoelectronic processing methods including CMOS and roll-to-roll technologies, opening the path towards the development of tuneable anisotropic optoelectronic devices based on OMHP.

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.
