Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid organic−inorganic perovskites are attracting interest thanks to their wide range of applications for solar energy conversion and beyond. Among their advantages, the tunability of their structural and optical properties is unique. For example, as the structural features of the organic spacers vary, the distancing between the inorganic layers can be affected – which affects the quantum confinement and hence the bandgap of the 2D perovskite. To experimentally elucidate the effect of the organic spacer on the optical and structural properties of perovskites, we applied hydrostatic pressures up to 375 MPa onto 2D materials with different spacers - e.g. butylammonium, benzylammonium, phenylehtylammonium, naphthalene-O-propylammonium, and perylene-O-ehtylammonium. In addition to a different degree of rigidity and extent of bandgap shift of the 2D materials for different spacers, we found that when butylammonium is used as the spacer, the 2D material undergoes a first-order phase transition at 350 MPa. By studying the specific effect of aromaticity and alkyl chain length of the organic spacers on the overall rigidity (hence, bandgap shift) of the 2D material and finding a pressure-dependent phase transition in one of the studied materials, our work is essential to designing 2D perovskites with finely tuned optical and structural properties.
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.
