Nonradiative recombination (kR) of charge carriers is of crucial important factor result in energy losses in perovskite solar cells and other optoelectronic devices. An effective method of defect passivation is often used to reduce the trap density at surface or grain boundaries, leading to an suppression of kR. However, how does trap passivation affect the charge carrier dynamics in metal halide perovskite is still not fully understood. Here, the charge carrier recombination processes in MAPbBr3 with and without hypophosphorous acid (HPA) are investigated in the temperature range from 300 K to 90 K by using time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) and photoluminescence (PL) techniques. The introduction of HPA increases the average grain size by a factor of 3 and reduces the total concentration of the trap states by a factor of 10. From analysis of temperature (T) dependent TRMC in MAPbBr3, the second-order electron-hole recombination (keff) included both radiative (kR) and nonradiative (knR) parts is gradually decreased as lowering temperature in pristine MAPbBr3. While keff is substantially reduced and independent of T after passivation. PL spectra show the intensities of passivated MAPbBr3 are at least 2 times higher than that of pristine one at the entire T range. From these observations, we proposed a model presented an upward band bending with the Fermi level alignment at perovskite bulk and surface interface. From which an additional non-radiative recombination pathway (knR), electrons overcoming an energy barrier recombine with the holes in the trap states at the surface, only occurs in pristine MAPbBr3 film, apart from kR. This knR process might be thermally activated and results in a fast initial decay in TRMC at higher temperatures in pristine MAPbBr3.
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.
