Bandgap tuning is a crucial characteristic of metal-halide perovskites, with benchmark lead-iodide compounds having a bandgap of 1.6 eV. To increase the bandgap up to 2.0 eV a straightforward strategy is to partially substitute iodine with bromine in so-called mixed-halide lead perovskites. Such compounds are prone, however, to defect-induced halide segregation resulting in bandgap instabilities, which limits their application in tandem solar cells and a variety of optoelectronic devices. The optimization of the perovskite composition and surface passivating agents can effectively slow down, but not completely stop, such light-induced instabilities. Here I will show how we identify the defect and the relative intra-gap electronic state/charge carrier dynamics that triggers the material transformation and bandgap shift. It allows us to engineer the perovskite band edge energetics by engineering the chemical composition of the perovskite crystalline unit to radically deactivate the photo-activity of such electronic states and stabilize the perovskite bandgap over the entire spectral range above 1.6 eV. Overall, I will show how the photo-instability of lead based single and mixed halide perovskites, which can been seen as photo-degradation and bandgap photo-destabilization, has the same root. Then, I will conclude my lecture showing how, by halides alloying, we can achieve photo-stable bandgaps in a broad spectral range from NIR to 2 eV, in tin-based perovskites. Here, the defect chemistry modulates the electronic property of the semiconductor switching from a highly p-doped to an intrinsic one.
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.
