Symposium EL09-Stability of Metal Halide Perovskites—From Materials to Devices

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have emerged as highly promising materials for various optoelectronic devices, including solar cells, LEDs, lasers, photodetectors, and transistors. Despite significant progress, there are still major challenges, particularly regarding stability. Stability issues involve design, materials processing, defects, and interfaces, all of which need to be understood and optimized for different environmental conditions.

This symposium aims to promote collaboration and knowledge exchange by bringing together researchers from chemistry, materials science, physics, and engineering. By providing a platform for discussion, the symposium will address stability challenges in hybrid perovskite materials and devices and highlight recent advances. Through in-depth discussions, it will enhance understanding using advanced experimental and theoretical approaches. Ultimately, the symposium strives to foster the development of stable halide perovskite materials and devices.

Topics will include:

  • Materials development: synthesis and processing of active layers and transport layers
  • Reliability testing: accelerated testing protocols and degradation model
  • Materials and device failure modes
  • Machine learning-assisted stability prediction
  • Compositional engineering of halide perovskites
  • Defect characterization and the passivation of defects in perovskites
  • Interfacial engineering in device applications
  • Phase transitions in halide perovskites
  • Charge carrier dynamics at interfaces and, defects for device applications
  • Mechanistic understanding of degradation in perovskite materials and devices
