Role of Organic Molecules in Organic-Inorganic Solar Cell Perovskites

Prof. Seung-Hun Lee (University of Virginia, U.S.A.)

The record solar cell efficiency based on hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) has reached 22.7% which rivals that of conventional silicon solar cells. Combined with its inexpensive solution based processing and all earth abundant compositions, HOIPs are among the most promising next generation solar cell materials. In this talk, I will present our recent studies, using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering and photoluminescence techniques, and density functional theory calculations, on two HOIPs, methylammonium lead iodide and formamidinium lead iodide, to shed lights on the microscopic mechanism of the photovoltaic properties of the HOIPs.
