Enormous efforts have been made in the last 8 years to up-grade the performance of lead halide hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs).1 Although efficiency level has reached 25%, PSCs face serious challenges of practical stability and durability required for industrialization. Compositional engineering of lead halide perovskites by mixing different cations and anions, using modulator molecules and mixing 2D and 3D structures have improved the stability of perovskites against heat and moisture. However, organic cations in halide perovskites (methylammonium, etc.) and use of diffusible ionic dopants in hole transport materials (HTMs) are responsible for low stability of perovskites at high temperatures (>120oC). In this respect, use of all-inorganic perovskite materials and dopant-free HTMs is highly desired.2 We have conducted some work in this direction which includes stabilization of CsPbI3 black phase3 and use of dopant-free HTMs. We could show that PSCs with all-inorganic perovskites and dopant-free HTMs are capable of efficiency up to 15%.2 Further, Open-circuit voltage was found to be enhanced over 1.4V. In preparation of all-inorganic perovskites, a big challenge should be directed to development of lead-free perovskite materials for environmental safety in practical applications.2
Among extensive applications of PSCs for outdoor and indoor power generation, use of PSCs in space environments is also promising because thin perovskite photovoltaic films demonstrate high stability and tolerance against exposure to severe space environment having high energy particle irradiations (proton and electron beams).4 Thin absorbers (<500 nm) avoid accumulation of particles and due to intrinsic defect tolerant nature of perovskites, radiation-induced collision damage is highly suppressed. Our current efforts in making PSCs based on both lead and lead-free perovskites, and future perspectives of perovskite photovoltaics will be introduced.

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.
