In the progress towards all-perovskite tandem solar cells, significant effort is focused on half tin – half lead perovskites. Compared to their pure tin counterpart an even lower band gap can be obtained due to the “band-bowing effect”. [1] In addition, these perovskites have been found to suffer less severely from oxidation than pure tin perovskites, more so than can be explained by simply considering the lower tin concentration in the structure. [2] This stabilizing effect was suggested to be due to a perfect alloy nature of the tin-lead perovskite, where every tin cation has a lead cation in an adjacent octahedron that oxidizes much less readily. [2] At the same time, however, several groups observed inhomogeneity in the tin-lead ratio over the thin film and have connected it to the higher Lewis acidity of Sn2+, resulting in unsynchronized crystallization of the tin and lead precursors. [3, 4, 5] In this study, we investigate whether cluster formation occurs, and under which conditions it is relevant. We consider both the fully inorganic cesium-based tin-lead perovskite as well as a hybrid formamidinium-based tin-lead perovskite. To unravel the existence of inhomogeneity in the tin-lead ratio, we employ energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, AFM-based techniques and solid-state NMR. In this way, we aim to understand what happens to the clusters under various external stimuli, upon degradation and how these clusters impact the thin film stability, the film quality and device 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.
