Highly luminescent formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3) quantum dots (QDs) exhibit optimum stability and narrowest bandgap energy among lead halide perovskites, thus they have become one of the most promising materials for the development of light-harvesting and near infrared-emitting devices.1, 2 Several studies exploring the photoelectronic characteristics of FAPbI3 QDs, e.g., multiple exciton generation (MEG)3, hot carrier relaxation4 and exciton–phonon coupling5 have been performed. However, given the importance of the heterojunction where the main charge separation within FAPbI3 QDs based solar cell devices, little is known about the photoexcited carriers transfer dynamics at the interface.
By using transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy, we systematically investigate both hot and cold photoexcited carrier (electron and hole) dynamics including relaxation and transfer at the heterojunction interfaces between FAPbI3 QDs and two kinds of well used charge acceptors, i.e., TiO2 and NiOx. We find that (i) the hot carriers in the FAPbI3 QDs are cooled to cold carriers with a cooling rate in the order of 1011 s−1, and (ii) the cold-electron and -hole injection rates are size dependent and are 2.01~2.29 × 109 s−1 and 1.55~1.96 × 109 s−1 at the two types of FAPbI3 QD/MO (metal oxide) heterojunctions, respectively, which are in good agreements with Marcus theory of charge transfer. In addition, the photoexcited carrier injection efficiency at the two heterojunctions is found to be as high as over 99%, which is the most important key for achieving high photovoltaic performance of the FAPbI3 QD solar cells (QDSCs). Prototypes of the two types of heterojunction-based QDSCs, i.e., normal-structure solar cells based on FAPbI3 QD/TiO2 and inverted-structure solar cells based on FAPbI3 QD/NiOx, were developed and the power conversion efficiencies of more than 9% and 5% were obtained, respectively. Moreover, the photovoltaic performance showed a higher storage stability over 100 days. The photovoltaic performance would be improved largely by optimization of each parts in the QDSCs. Our results shed light on perovskite QD-based optoelectronic devices.
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.
