Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are a diverse family of materials that have had tremendous impact in photovoltaic and other emerging optoelectronic devices where they outperform conventional materials and continue to deliver outstanding performance. The intense volume of active research being carried out on MHPs is driven by their unique properties including their tuneable bandgap, large absorption coefficients, large charge carrier diffusion lengths and high mobilities combined with their relative ease of synthesis. Unfortunately, the synthetic methods that have been developed for depositing MHPs rely on the use of solvents harmful to human health and the environment, furthermore the synthetic protocols have an intrinsic requirement for multi-component solvent systems and a fundamental need for thermal treatment during processing to ensure the desired phases are prepared.
Here we give an overview of several novel strategies we have been developing in our laboratory aimed at identifying routes for MHPs – thin films, nanocrystals, single crystals – prepared using green solvents and without the need for extensive thermal processing. We will elaborate a novel solvent system and synthetic method for the preparation of size and compositionally controlled MHP nanocrystals. Remarkably our synthesis is carried out using a water-based solvent and is achieved in ambient air and at room temperature. We show the synthesis of size controlled CsPbBr3 nanocrystals with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) > 60 %a and through anion exchange demonstrate the formation of a range of CsPbX3 (X = I, Br, Cl) nanocrystals that cover an emission range of 450 to 660 nm. Our novel, green solvent offers a clean, scalable and low-cost route for size and compositional control of MHP nanocrystals.
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.
