Fabrication of a stable low band-gap perovskite has always been proved challenging for photovoltaics application. The objectives of this work have been, developing a high quality low-bandgap perovskite with mixed tin-lead(Sn-Pb), optimizing the device, and making a semi-transparent structure as a photodiode.
The main bottlenecks of the aforementioned solar cells are the reduction of Sn2+ in the process which hinders the perovskite stability and the low Voc. The optimization for perovskite with a formula of FA0.7 MA 0.3Pb0.5 Sn0.5 I3 has been exercised by means of wet deposition. Different methods such as solvent engineering, changing precursor concentration and various deposition processes have been tested. Also, different additives have been used to suppress Sn oxidation in the device. The solar cell characteristics have improved up to 60%.
Perovskite photodetectors are a promising technology for imaging applications, due to their high performance, tunable absorption spectrum, and large area processability. New applications require devices with properties such as transparency, near-infrared (NIR) absorption, or scalability. Here, we have also fabricated semitransparent NIR perovskite photodetectors based on tin-lead (Sn-Pb) hybrid perovskites, by using very thin film perovskite layers (200 nm) and transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. The top ITO contact was processed via pulsed layer deposition (PLD) with no damage to the underlying stack. The photodetectors have a full-stack transmission of over 48% in the NIR (between 780 and 1100 nm) and exhibit good performance with a dark current of 1.74·10-2 mA/cm2 (at -0.2 V), the external quantum efficiency of 23% and 13%, and detectivity of 6.6·1010 and 4.2·1010 Jones (at -0.2 V), at 850 and 940 nm, respectively. The performance of these devices makes them good candidates to be used as photodetectors for NIR applications or as bifacial devices.

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.
