The demand for eco-friendly and sustainable energy sources has prompted intensive research in the field of photovoltaics, leading to investigate the lead-free materials as alternatives to traditional perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Recently, Cs2AgBiBr6 based double perovskite materials have been explored in photovoltaic devices due to their superior optoelectronic properties and inherent non-toxicity. Here, high quality Cs2AgBiBr6 is synthesized with controlled cooling temperature to improve the crystal growth. Further, the spinel NiCO2O4 nanostructure was investigated to apply as efficient hole transport layer in PSCs. Various techniques were employed to characterize the synthesized materials, including UV–vis spectroscopy (UV), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The crystal structure, band gap, elemental mapping, surface morphology, and coordination of Ni in the Co3O4 matrix were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV, FESEM, and XAS, respectively. Finally, lead-free inorganic PSCs is fabricated with spinel NiCo2O4 HTL and exhibited enhanced solar cells parameters.

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.
