Climate change and environmental degradation, mainly associated to the use of fossil fuels, are existential threats to the world. So, new and more advanced systems with reduced energy consumption have to be developed in order to allow a real energy savings. In this context, the fabrication of low-cost, environmentally-friendly and high-efficiency optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, LEDs, photodetectors, sensors or luminescent solar concentrators, is now more than ever a need to be addressed. The halide perovskites nanocrystals have been emerged as extremely appealing materials due to their promising properties such as high absorption coefficient, tunable absorption and emission ranges, and their high quantum efficiencies.
In this work, we present the microwave-assisted preparation of uniform CsPbBr3 nanocrystals. A systematic analysis of different synthetic parameters was performed (temperature, time, reagents, solvent, etc.) allowed us to have a map of conditions to obtain crystals with controllable morphologies and crystalline phases in one step process. The versatility of microwave-assisted synthesis, not only in reaction time and temperature, but also in the nature of the salts and the solvents (or mixture of solvents), and additional complexing ligands and structure-directing agents, allow us to play with the nucleation and growth mechanisms. This work opens a land of possibilities for preparing nanostructured halide perovskite materials with a broad range of applications.

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.
