The consequences of ionic migration represent one of the major bottlenecks in the achievement of real large-scale and stable commercial perovskite solar cells. These consequences include slow kinetic phenomena such as hysteretic responses, coupled with light-induced accumulation capacitance, directly affecting photovoltage values.1 As dopants in the bulk or at the interfaces, alkali metals have proven to be good allies in the race to mitigate the perovskite ionic migration or its effects.2 However, the exact role of the alkali in each case still need to be clarified. Regarding interfacial effects, one of the strategies that has proven to be very beneficial, consists in increasing the cation density at the charge accumulation zone at the ESL/perovskite interface.3 In this work, we have gone a step further by systematically analysing the effects of variation in extrinsic cation density in the photovoltaic performance and stability of wide bandgap perovskite solar cells. Using three different alkali metals as doping agents at the interface, we have found that the beneficial effects can be more bulk-directed or more related to interfacial processes, depending on the ionic size of the dopant. The analysis through impedance spectroscopy and time-resolved photoluminescence, among others, clarify the reasons why an outstanding photovoltage > 1.64 V is achieved, together with an improved stability of the PSCs.

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.
