In the search for stable perovskite photovoltaic technology, carbon-based perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs) represent a valid, stable solution for near-future commercialization. However, a complete understanding of the operational device stability calls for assessing the device robustness under thermal stress. Herein, the device response is monitored upon a prolonged thermal cycle aging (heating the device for 1 month up to 80 °C) on state-of-the-art C-PSCs, often neglected, mimicking outdoor conditions. Device characterization is combined with in-house-developed advanced modeling of the current–voltage characteristics of the C-PSCs using an iterative fitting method based on the single-diode equation to extrapolate series (RS) and shunt (RSH) resistances. Two temperature regimes are identified: Below 50 °C C-PSCs are stable, and switching to 80 °C a slow device degradation takes place. This is associated with a net decrease of the device RSH, whereas the RS is unaltered, pointing to interface deterioration. Indeed, structural and optical analyses, by means of X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence studies, reveal no degradation of the perovskite bulk, providing clear evidence that perovskite/contact interfaces are the bottlenecks for thermal-induced degradation in C-PSCs.

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.
