Wide band gap nickel oxide (NiOx) has gained much popularity as a suitable inorganic hole transport layer (HTL) for inverse structured perovskite solar cells (PSCs). This can be attributed to its high optical transmittance and matching valence band energy level, along with the high stability in ambient atmosphere which gives NiOx an edge over the other commonly used HTL’s for PSCs. In spite of such advantages, performance of NiOx based perovskite device significantly lags behind that of the regular structured devices employing TiO2 and Spiro-OMeTAD as the charge transporting layers. The nature of the under layer and its interaction with perovskite film plays an important role in determining the performance, as it significantly governs the interfacial and bulk properties. Therefore, it is essentially important to understand the chemistry and physics at the perovskite/NiOx interface. The current work is focussed on understanding the possible reasons for low efficiency of sputtered NiOx based PSCs, by investigating the influence of sputtered NiOx under layer on the crystallization of perovskite and its correlation with the optoelectronic properties of the device. This talk will also discuss the role of different methods to deposit perovskite and the relation between the crystal growth and charge carrier dynamics of perovskite with different charge transport layer interfaces. Further, the importance of specific deposition conditions and composition of perovskite which are suitable for enhancing the efficiency of sputtered NiOx based perovskite solar cells will be discussed. Importantly, a deep insight into direct correlation of different deposition conditions, and growth mechanism of perovskite with device long term stability against ambient atmosphere (~50-60% humidity) and continuous light illumination will be presented.

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.
