Over the last two decades the efficiency of perovskite cells has almost doubled, reaching current values of 26.1 %. However, since the emergence of this technology the phenomenon of hysteresis, that is the difference in the current-voltage (J-V) scans noticed, was observed. This was initially overlooked by the scientific community, thus focussing on the scan with the more favourable efficiency results [1]. Overtime it was realised that the changes taking place within the system, causing the hysteretic effect could not be ignored, as they led to confusion on the performance of the perovskite device. This led to new measurement techniques to combat the phenomenon, by using slower rates of J-V scan during the studies, as well as by measuring the stabilized or steady-state photocurrent at the maximum power point (MPP) voltage. The hysteretic behaviour is still a controversial topic with respect to its origin, however it is important to continue studying it in order to unlock key information about this phenomenon.
During this study the perovskite mini-modules used were of the p-i-n architecture. The evolution of the hysteresis index was studied over a period of 2 years. Initially, it was noticed that the hysteresis index, increases with increasing temperature within a fixed irradiance range of 950-1050 W/m2. Similarly, the hysteresis index also seems to increase with irradiance. However, it was noticed that the hysteresis index was larger in the morning than in in the afternoon for the same irradiance values. This is thought to be due to enhanced performance during the morning hours, due to overnight recovery. Furthermore, the diurnal degradation of the hysteresis index is being studied as well as its effect with temperature.

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.
