Halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have progressed rapidly to reach an efficiency of more than 24% in laboratory scale to date. However, the long-term stability of PSCs is the main roadblock on the path to industrialization. In this work, we present stability studies on perovskite solar cells utilizing interfacial alkaline earth metal doping.
We are employing a high throughput aging setup to study the long-term stability of the devices. The setup is equipped to measure up to 500 cells simultaneously in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mode. The combination of full control over temperature, atmosphere and load for such a high number of devices is unique so far and enables significant studies providing reliable data.
One strategy to overcome PSC instability is interfacial doping with alkaline earth metals. We previously demonstrated alkaline earth metal ions (i.e. Mg and Sr) as excellent dopants to improve the device’s performance. The dopants reduce the defect concentrations in the perovskite which in turn significantly improves the open circuit voltage. Nonetheless, when the dopants are intermixed in the precursor solution, this leads to a significant change in the perovskite morphology. To preserve the perovskite morphology, we use dopants as an interlayer in a p-i-n device structure.[1] Following the strategy of interlayer-doping, we present highly stable and reproducible CsMAFA perovskite based[2] solar cells.
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.
