Metal Halide perovskites have emerged as highly promising candidates for photovoltaics with the certified record power conversion efficiency (PCE) reaching 26.1% for single-junction perovskite solar cells (PSCs)[1]. However, to date, most of the reported highly efficient PSCs were obtained based on the regular n-i-p architectures at the laboratory scale, i.e., typically ~0.1 cm2 [2-5], which are not suitable for upscaling. Inverted p-i-n cells, on the other hand, are attractive for upscaling due to their architecture simplicity at relatively low material cost and potentially high stability, however, their PCE still lags behind the n-i-p counterparts [6,7]. Therefore, our work has been focused on improving the efficiency of p-i-n cells and scaling them to produce efficient and stable modules. To push the PCE of cells, we developed a dual interface passivation strategy which led to a champion PCE of 24.3% for small-area cells and a champion PCE of 22.6% for a 3.63 cm2 mini-module. Next, we developed a bladed-coated interlayer to passivate the NiOx/perovskite interface. As a result, PCEs of 21.8% and 20.5% are demonstrated for cells of 0.13 cm2 and 1 cm2, respectively. The scalability of this p-i-n architecture is successfully demonstrated, achieving aperture area module efficiencies of 19.7%, 17.5%, and 15.5% for minimodules of 4 cm2, 16 cm2, and 100 cm2, respectively. Furthermore, we have upscaled up our baseline process and device stack to large-area modules. We fabricated bi-facial (781 cm2) perovskite solar modules exhibiting a power conversion efficiency of 16.3%, respectively. Moreover, the bi-facial mini-module retained ~ 92% of initial PCE after 1000 h of standard IEC 61215-based damp heat (85 °C, 85% relative humidity) test.

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.
