Bismuth (Bi)-based materials have been studied as the potential candidates to replace the toxic lead (Pb)-containing compounds in perovskite solar cells due to their non-toxic nature and use in biomedicine [1]. The effective ionic radius of Bi is similar to that of Pb and Bi perovskites have been shown to be stable in both dry and humid air [2,3]. However, the wide band gap of Bi-based perovskites limits their further application in solar cells. This study aims to address this issue by developing a general doping strategy to achieve narrow band gap bismuth tri-iodide (BiI3).
We here report that BiI3 material doped with CsSnI3 shows significantly reduced bandgap compared to that of undoped one (1.75 eV). It was as small as 1.41 eV when we mixed the precursor solution at a volume ratio of 1.6 (CsSnI3:BiI3) which was confirmed by Tauc plots. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed that the Fermi level (EF) shifted considerably toward the conduction band minimum (CBM) due to CsSnI3-doping. The estimated energy band diagram is schematically illustrated in the paper. Our study demonstrated that CsSnI3-doping can modify the band gap, CBM, and VBM of BiI3. The power conversion efficiency of the device was found to be improved up to 0.106%.

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.
