Controlled thermal degradation experiments of formamidinium-based perovskite and their halide precursors were carried out in helium and vacuum atmosphere under pulsed illumination/dark conditions to simulate working temperature conditions of photovoltaic devices.
The identification of decomposition gas products based on the quadrupole mass spectrometry technique uncovered the release of sym-triazine, formamidine, and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Meanwhile, sym-triazine was obtained as thermal product of degradation for temperatures above 95 ºC. Below this temperature, only formamidine and HCN generation routes were observed.
Experimental results supported by DFT calculations indicated that formamidinium is more resilient to thermal degradation and release of irreversible decomposition products compared to methylammonium cation because a larger enthalpy and activation energy for the decomposition reactions.
The HCN instantaneous concentration observed during low temperature heating tests and maximum release achievable per meter-square of FA based perovskite based solar cell estimations are compared to acute exposure guideline levels of airborne HCN concentration.

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.
