Operando Perovskite Interface Characterization using Photoemission Spectroscopy To enhance and refine perovskite optoelectronic devices, understanding the atomic and electronic structures of perovskite material interfaces is essential. X-ray-based spectroscopies, including photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, provide element-specific, non-destructive chemical and electronic structure insights at the atomic level. With recent advancements at synchrotron facilities and methodologies developed by our team and others, these tools are rapidly advancing for energy material system studies. [1-3] They facilitate the examination of interface chemistry, energy alignment, valence and conduction band properties, and charge dynamics. In this presentation, we share our latest results using X-ray absorption spectroscopy and energy-dependent photoelectron spectroscopy on perovskite interfaces. Our research covers single crystal surfaces and interfaces to functional device structures. We illustrate how to analyze interface chemistry and determine energy alignment in perovskite/hole-conductor/metal interfaces, both in the dark and under visible light. Specifically, we will discuss operando measurements using hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

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.
