Organic-inorganic perovskite materials have established themselves as the outstanding candidate for photovoltaic application due to its long exciton diffusion length, low exciton binding energy and high charge mobility. Intensive researches conducted on perovskite solar cells pertaining to the several optimizations on interface, perovskite crystal nucleation and growth lead to an enhanced trap passivation and reduced hysteresis behavior. For interface engineering, many complicated organic compounds were employed to realize rapid charge transfer at the interface and suppressed hysteresis.
However, potential defects in the interconnection among organic molecules will limit the effectiveness of interfacial trap passivation. This article describes inorganic sulfur functionalization at the interface to anchor SnO2 and perovskite simultaneously. Inorganic sulfur atoms functionalization was realized through xanthate decomposition on SnO2 substrate, which is expected to anchor SnO2 and perovskite simultaneously. Inorganic sulfur atoms can coordinate with Pb2+ in MAPbI3 perovskite near the interface, leading to larger perovskite grains, facilitating electron transport and reducing hysteresis behavior. Electron trap density at shallow trap state decreased significantly after interfacial sulfur functionalization as revealed by thermally stimulate current (TSC).The efficiency of MAPbI3 perovskite solar cells was increased significantly with enhanced long-term stability upon interfacial sulfur functionalization compared to that of without sulfur functionalization, furthermore, the device was fabricated under more than 60% humidity in an ambient air condition whose device performance is comparable to that fabricated in inert atmosphere. Additionally, increased electrostatic interaction between sulfur and perovskite resulted in considerable retardation of solar cell degradation after 70d air-storage. This method paves a potential way using inorganic atoms interfacial functionalization for higher efficiency with enhanced stability.
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.
