Positive-intrinsic-negative (p-i-n) perovskite solar cell (PeSC) is getting attention due to its high application potential such as tandem. Nickel oxide (NiOx) with wide bandgap and deep valence band maximum has been utilized as a hole transport layer (HTL) in p-i-n structure PeSC. However, PeSCs based on NiOx HTLs generally struggle to achieve high efficiencies due to energy loss at interfaces. Surface defects and charged species (such as OH-, H+ and ions) at the NiOx interface can hinder charge transfer and promote decomposition of perovskite, which are moderate high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and long-term operational stability. In this regard, we tried surface treatment based on plasma to modify the interface between NiOx and perovskite layers by removing defect sites and hydroxyl groups on the NiOx surface. Plasma treatment reduced defects and charged species on the NiO surface, enhancing the energy level alignment between the NiOx HTL and the perovskite layer and improving charge transport, consequently, plasma-treated PSCs showed improved performance.

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.
