Perovskite solar cells attract attention as promising cost-effective next generation printable photovoltaics.
The power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) have been substantially increased in a short period, based on the improvements of the fabrication protocols for the perovskite layer, and the development of new materials for passivation of the surface or efficient charge collection, etc.
Our research approaches for lead and lead-free perovskite solar cells are as follows.
1) Development of highly purified perovskite precursor materials: We synthesis a series of complexes of lead halides or tin halides as purified precursor for perovskite materials.
2) Development of fabrication methods for perovskite layer by solution process: We focus on the intermediates formed during the solution process and develop efficient fabrication methods [1-3] including surface passivation based on the mechanism.[4-7]
3) Development of organic semiconductors as efficient charge-collection materials from perovskite layer: We design and synthesis novel pi-conjugated materials, including PATAT,[8] in terms of control of the energy level of frontier orbitals, molecular orientation, and interface between perovskite layer.
In this talk, our recent progress on Sn-based perovskite solar cells as well as Pb-based perovskites will be introduced.

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.
