Designing organic molecules efficient for charge extraction and transport when integrated into optoelectronic devices remains a great challenge for many advanced applications. In perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the hole extraction/transport and the device stability are strongly dependent on the molecular structure of the hole transporting material (HTM). Herein we have engineered a dendritic core carbazole-based HTM, which combines the advantages of both small molecules and polymeric materials. We have investigated in-depth the relationship between the chemical structure of the HTM and both the photovoltaic efficiency and the device stability. The development of new HTMs alternative to Spiro-OMeTAD and the understanding of the role of doping agents on these layers are also important research axes in the field. It requires the use of appropriate characterization tools enabling to discriminate the bulk and interface effects. In the present work, we fully analyze the effect of HTM doping and of the material on the impedance response of PSCs. It has been shown that the dendritic core is a promising approach leading to both enhanced device performance and stability. The new HTM has been proved to act as a good barrier and protect satisfactorily the perovskite surface. The power conversion efficiencies (PCE) increase from 11.5% for the simple model compound to a promising 14.6%.Additionally, the normalized PCE of carbazole-based PSC decreased by only 5% after more than three weeks of storage under ambient conditions meanwhile the cell using the most popular HTM (Spiro-OMeTAD)dropped off by more than 40%. The presented results demonstrate that introducing dendritic concept is a simple strategy to design HTM for efficient and stable PSC (1). We also show that the impedance spectroscopy is of high practical interest for the development of new HTMs and for the optimization of the layer doping (2).
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.
