Unique combination of optoelectronic properties of metal halide perovskites (MHPs) together with facile processing made them probably the most exciting group of materials for next generation optoelectronics and photocatalysis. However, as there is no rose without a thorn, initial excitement about subsequent PCE record breaking Pb-based MHPs solar cells was accompanied by rising concerns about lead’s bioavailability, toxicity and life-cycle of the devices. On the other hand commercialization of significantly less toxic Sn-based MHPs showing even more suitable bandgaps for the efficient use of solar energy is hampered by capricious chemical nature of Sn(II). The efforts toward more stable tin-based perovskites are mostly focused on the improvement of crystallization process, and the use of appropriate additives (2D, antioxidants, passivants). The rational design of new additives for processing MHP is a complex subject as many different factors regarding the chemical properties must be considered, for example, the solubility of the additives in precursor solution or the possibility of formation of stable complexes with the organic and inorganic components of the salts.[1,2]
Herein, we report the use of series of large organic cations carrying diverse functional groups for improved stability of tin halide perovskites. We investigated optical and structural properties of spin coated FASnI3 thin films with and without the additives under different conditions (inter alia vacuum, inert/atmosphere vs. ambient air, illumination and temperature).

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.
