With the efficiencies of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) approaching 26%, the focus has turned to the fabrication of long-lasting scaled up devices. In this regard, slot-die coating has emerged as a front runner owing to its large area coating uniformity, high throughput capability, minimal material wastage, as well as compatibility with high volume production. To date, power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the state-of-the-art slot-die coated PSCs is over 20% for small-areas and over 19% for large-areas. As variation of crystallization kinetics and the presence of residual solvents can become more significant in large area coating, there is an urgent need for the development of approaches capable of addressing a wide variety of defects. We utilize a hydrophobic all-organic salt to modify the top surface of large area slot-die coated methylammonium (MA)-free halide perovskite layers. Endowed with anchoring groups capable of exhibiting secondary interactions with the perovskite surfaces, the organic salt acts as a molecular lock by effectively binding to both anion and cation vacancies, substantially enhancing the materials’ intrinsic stability against different stimuli. The treated PSCs demonstrate efficiency of 19.28 % for the corresponding mini-module (active area of 58.5 cm2). In addition to solution processing, deposition of perovskite absorber layers by thermal co-evaporation have gathered considerable interest for both single junction and multi-junction solar cells. The main advantages for thermal evaporation include conformal coatings, control of deposited layer thicknesses, and possibility of multi-layer processing. We have recently demonstrated highly efficient, large area, planar PSCs ranging from 0.16 cm2 to 20 cm2 with high efficiencies. This methodology is also compatible with depositing layers for quantum confinement that is crucial for optoelectronics 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.
