研究目的
To enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by utilizing near infrared (NIR) light through the incorporation of up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and exploiting the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon.
研究成果
The incorporation of UCNPs into PSCs via a dry transfer method effectively utilizes NIR light for PCE enhancement. The optimal location of UCNPs is between the hole transport layer (HTL) and the gold (Au) top electrode, where the combined effects of NIR light utilization and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) from the Au electrode maximize the PCE. This approach provides a new pathway for enhancing the efficiency of PSCs with functional photonic materials.
研究不足
The study is limited by the inherently low up-conversion efficiency (UCE) of the UCNPs and the vulnerability of perovskite materials towards moisture, which restricts the methods for incorporating UCNPs into PSCs.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of silica-coated NaYF4:Yb3+Er3+ nanoparticles (UCNPs) and their incorporation into PSCs using a dry transfer method to avoid damaging the perovskite film. The effect of UCNP location within the PSC structure on photovoltaic performance was investigated.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
UCNPs were synthesized and characterized using TEM and XRD. PSCs were fabricated with UCNPs located at different positions within the cell structure.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included Yttrium(III) chloride hexahydrate, ytterbium(III) chloride hexahydrate, erbium(III) chloride hexahydrate, oleic acid, 1-octadecene, ammonium fluoride, sodium hydroxide, and others. Equipment included a transmission electron microscope (TEM, Tecnai 12, FEI, USA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) system (D8 discover, Bruker, MA., USA), and field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM, JEOL 2020F).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
UCNPs were synthesized, coated with silica, and transferred onto the PSC structure using a dry transfer method. The PSCs were then fabricated with UCNPs at different locations, and their photovoltaic performances were measured.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The photovoltaic performances of the PSCs were analyzed based on current density versus voltage (J–V) characteristics under AM 1.5G illumination. Up-conversion emission spectra were recorded using a spectrometer equipped with a charge-coupled device camera.
