Organic-inorganic halide perovskites have received significant attention because of their high photoelectric conversion efficiency and printable preparation. Among the fundamental physical properties of this type of material, its thermal properties are especially interesting because solar cell devices are affected by solar radiative heat and they have shown promise as thermoelectric materials. Therefore, to understand their thermal properties, we investigated the lattice dynamics of organic-inorganic halide perovskites by first-principles calculations.
The lattice thermal conductivity of Pb-free cubic CH3NH3SnI3 was calculated using lattice dynamics calculation with first-principles. The calculated lattice thermal conductivity of the cubic CH3NH3SnI3 was very low compared to those of other inorganic materials, possibly derived from low-energy acoustic phonon modes. Our results are consistent with those previously published regarding CH3NH3PbI3 [1]. However, imaginary frequency (soft) modes were observed, resulting in instability of the cubic structure. Consideration of lattice instability is required to accurately estimate thermal properties using lattice dynamics calculations.
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.
