We report a facile and rapid laser-induced process to fabricate perovskite-2D nanoconjugates. In particular, pre-prepared nanocrystals were mixed with the GO materials in solution and irradiated with a femtosecond laser at ambient conditions. It was observed that the density of the nanocrystals on the flakes can be controlled by the number of the irradiation pulses. Τhe laser pulses were efficient to promote the creation of functional groups on GO which allow perovskite crystals to bind to GO and cover the available flakes. Τhe irradiation can damage perovskite crystals so the dose has to be kept sufficiently low (<1000 pulses) to preserve their structure and morphology and eventually the luminescent properties. The solution of the nanoconjugates was PL-active following the irradiation process. The importance of this fast and easy process is that it presents a universal procedure to decorate 2D materials with metal halide nanocrystals. This laser-assisted process enables the creation of many conjugates with perovskite nanocrystals of various composition and shape. The nanoconjugates combine the exciting properties of the perovskite nanocrystals together with the interesting properties of the 2D materials. In addition, new physics and synergetic effects are emerging from the coupling between the two different materials. Among our future plans is to use this laser-assisted method to enhance the PL of the nanocomposites.

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.
