Record efficiencies of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are obtained with spiro-OMeTAD as the hole transport layer. Spiro-OMeTAD is conventionally doped by hygroscopic lithium salts with the assistance of volatile 4-tert-butylpyridine, which, however, brings a time-consuming doping process as well as poor device stability. We successfully develop an instantly efficient and clean doping strategy to replace the conventional spiro-OMeTAD doping. As demonstrated by experimental and theoretical investigations, the radical dopant leads to significant increase of the conductivity through efficient hole polarons generation. The ionic salts can further modulate the work function with negligible effects on the film conductivity, critical for reaching optimal VOC values by a favorable energetic level alignment. Spiro-OMeTAD based on our new doping strategy enables PSCs with a high power conversion efficiency over 25% and an excellent stability against moisture, heat and illumination. Our findings pave the way for achieving PSCs with high efficiencies and excellent stability at the same time. In addition, our doping strategy goes beyond traditional organic semiconductor doping, providing new understanding of organic doping mechanisms which can inspire further optimizations of different optoelectronic devices.
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.
