Perovskite solar cells are attracting attention as next-generation solar cells due to their high efficiency and low manufacturing costs. Furthermore, flexible perovskite solar cells (f-PSCs) with light weight and bendable characteristics are rising as advanced energy sources in the field of mobile and architectural applications. However, f-PSCs have not yet reached the efficiency of rigid PSCs. This is because high-performance hole transport layer (HTL) materials such as NiOX require high-temperature annealing, making them inapplicable to flexible substrates that can be processed at low temperatures, and because perovskite layers do not form well on self-assembling molecular thin films with hydrophobic nature used as charge transport layers. To address these issues, in this study, we applied a vacuum-assisted crystallization process to deposit HTL and a perovskite layer. The vacuum-assisted crystallization process enabled annealing-free deposition of self-assembling molecular thin films and formation of uniform perovskite layers with high crystallinity, resulting in improved device performance. The findings of this study provide a detailed analysis of the impact of the vacuum-assisted crystallization process and the formation of thin films on the performance of flexible perovskite solar cells.

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.
