Preparation of high-quality perovskite thin-films with a low concentration of defects has recently been achieved through cation engineering using Cs halide salts. However, an obstacle in the development of Cs-based perovskites is that cesium iodide (CsI) is the only sufficiently soluble cesium halide in common solvents, while other salts, such as CsBr and CsCl, have poor solubility. The solubility challenge has limited the progress in compositional engineering especially when pure Br-based compounds are aimed for. It is thus necessary to develop a technique for bringing insoluble additives into play.
Mechanosynthetic strategy is a green, rapid and solvent-free method for incorporation of insoluble dopants to perovskites, providing a promising strategy for the formation of high-quality films. With this approach, a triple Cs/FA/MA cation wide band-gap perovskite can be fabricated that could not be realized through a conventional solution processing.
The use of mechanosynthesis perovskites for thin film formation allows for the growth of relatively large crystalline grains. The champion device achieved a maximum PCE of 7.3% (7.03% stabilized), with JSC of 7.08 mA cm−2, VOC of 1.48 V, and a fill factor (FF) of 70%. This performance and voltage are among the highest reported for wide band-gap PSCs devices incorporating triple cation Csx(FAyMA(1-y))(1-x)PbBr3 perovskite.
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.
