The presence of localized trap states on the surface of CsPbCl3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) is one of the greatest challenges precluding the development of optoelectronic applications of these NCs. Passivation of these defect sites provides a promising pathway to remediating their electronic and optical properties, such as the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Herein, we demonstrate a post-synthetic dual-surface treatment using trivalent metal ion salts, i.e., YCl3, as a new passivation approach that enhances the PLQY up to 60% while preserving the NC size and crystal structure. Such remarkable enhancement of the PLQY along with prolongation of the average PL lifetimes of treated NCs samples indicates effective passivation of the surface defects and subsequent suppression of the formation of surface nonradiative recombination centers. As a segue toward optoelectronic applications, we probed the photoelectric performance of the NCs using ultra-flexible devices; we found that YCl3-treated CsPbCl3 NC films exhibit an order of magnitude larger photocurrent compared to their nontreated counterparts. Our experimental and theoretical results provide an insightful understanding of the effective passivating roles of Y3+ and Cl− ions on the surface of CsPbCl3 NCs, as well as offering a new path to synthesize high-quality NCs for UV light conversion applications.
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.
