Recent advancements in halide perovskite photovoltaics have brought power conversion efficiencies to levels suitable for commercial use. Despite these advances, the durability of these devices is a major challenge that needs further improvement. A notable development in this area is the use of Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) two-dimensional (2D) perovskite layers on top of traditional three-dimensional (3D) perovskite active layers, enhancing the stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) [1-2]. While there have been several reports of efficient and stable PSCs using 2D/3D heterojunctions [3-4], the detailed interactions at the 2D/3D interface are not fully understood. Understanding the relationship between the atomic structure at this interface and electron behavior is essential to comprehend the effectiveness of these methods and to optimize the benefits of interface engineering. In this work, we used density-functional theory (DFT) calculations to explore how the atomic arrangement at interfaces influences the characteristics of 2D/3D halide perovskite heterojunctions. Our findings indicate that the thermodynamic stability and band alignment of these heterojunctions are significantly influenced by the arrangement of Cs/PEA cations at the interfaces.
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.
