Perovskite solar cells rely on selective transport layers to efficiently extract charge carriers and reduce non-radiative recombination at the interface to the contacts. Although the bulk materials are relatively well understood, non-radiative recombination of charge carriers at the interfaces between the perovskite and the charge selective transport layers is still not fully understood nor eliminated, causing a drop in the open circuit voltage and therefore device efficiency. Usually, partial cell stacks are used to resolve the different interfaces and study the non-radiative recombination with photoluminescence (PL) techniques. However, this does not allow for study of non-radiative recombination at a contact under operating conditions with electrical bias.
In this work, interdigitated-back-contact cells are made such that the optical properties of the perovskite-nickel oxide interfaces can be studied in operando. Because the contacts are placed in plane, instead of stacked vertically, we can probe the optical properties in a spatially resolved manner from the top. We study the recombination dynamics of charge carriers with steady-state PL and transient PL, both under electrical bias. These measurements suggest the presence of a extraction barrier that decreases with the application of an increasing bias voltage. The timescale of the dynamics of the extraction barrier indicates that ions play a key role in the extraction of carriers at the nickel oxide contacts.
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.
