Perovskites is a class of materials with notable crystal structure of ABX3, exceptionally wide tunability in chemical compositions and dimensionality in crystal-structures. Due to their exceptional optoelectronic properties, they are widely used for converting and storing (solar) energy, e.g. oxide perovskites as photocatalysts, halide perovskites as absorbers in solar cells, nitride perovskites as
mechanical energy harvesters. In these applications, the understanding of optoelectronic properties, chemical stability and their changes upon external stimuli (light excitation, mechanical, thermal and chemical stress) are paramount.
In this talk, I will show how our research group investigate these properties using atomistic multiscale modelling by combing electronic structure calculations with reactive molecular dynamics simulations. Her focus is on halide perovskites and the impact of defects on the efficiency and the stability of perovskite solar cells. We identify harmful defects which lead to either recombination losses and/or chemical degradations and show several strategies to mitigate and passivate these defects. These include engineering the composition of perovskite absorbers, optimizing interfaces with contact materials, and finetuning growth conditions. The atomistic insights provide a basis for further improving the efficiency and stability of perovskite materials and devices. The multiscale computational framework can be enhanced with The emerging data-driven approach and straightforwardly applied to other materials and 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.
