Pozivamo Vas na 12. fakultetski seminar u srijedu 18.10.2017. u amfiteatru A-1-1 u 12:00 sati na kojem će Prof. László Forró, Laboratory of Physics of Complex Matter, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, CH-1015, Lausanne, održati predavanje pod naslovom „From Synthesis to Application of Photovoltaic Perovskite Nanowires”.
Abstract: In the last few years, the organo-lead halide perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 and its derivatives have been found to be very efficient light harvesters and ambipolar semiconductors revolutionizing the field of solid-state solar cells. Its low temperature fabrication process allowed to design simpler solar cell structures (i.e.from mesoscopic to planar junctions) which yielded efficiencies exceeding 20%. The major research area in this field is photovoltaic device engineering although other applications as solar water splitting, field effect transistors (FETs), ultra-broadband photodetectors, thermoelectric devices, light emitting diodes and lasers are being explored as well.
Recently, we have shown that nanowires of this photovoltaic perovskite can be synthesized [1], which in association with carbon nanostructures (carbon nanotubes and graphene) make outstanding composites with rapid and strong photo-response. They can serve as conducting electrodes, or as central components of detectors. The performance of several miniature devices based on these composite structures will be demonstrated [2,3]. Our latest findings on the guided growth of perovskite nanowires by solvatomorph graphoepitaxy will be presented [4]. This method turned out to be a fairly simple approach to overcome the spatially random surface nucleation. The process allows the synthesis of extremely long (centimeters) and thin (a few nanometers) nanowires with a morphology defined by the shape of nanostructured open fluidic channels. This low-temperature solution-growth method could open up an entirely new spectrum of architectural designs of organometallic-halide-perovskite-based heterojunctions and tandem solar cells, LEDs and other optoelectronic devices.
