研究目的
Investigating the effects of Yb3+ and Er3+ co-doping on TiO2 nanorod arrays for perovskite solar cells to enhance infrared response and improve current density.
研究成果
The Yb3+, Er3+ co-doped TiO2 inverted pyramid NR array significantly improves the current density and photon-to-electron conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells, with an optimized efficiency of 10.02%. The doped device also exhibits a near-infrared response, achieving an efficiency of 0.1% under infrared light irradiation.
研究不足
The study focuses on the enhancement of infrared response and current density but does not extensively explore the long-term stability and scalability of the doped TiO2 NRs for industrial applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
A one-pot hydrothermal method was used to fabricate Yb3+, Er3+ co-doped TiO2 inverted pyramid nanorod arrays and a compact TiO2 film as the mesoporous support layer and electron-blocking layer, respectively.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
FTO substrates were used for the growth of TiO2 NRs. Perovskite precursor was prepared using CH3NH3I and PbCl2 in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
FESEM (Hitachi S-4800), XRD (Bruker-D8), source meter (2400, Keithley), solar simulator (94022A, Newport, Class ABA), electrochemical workstation (Zahner, Germany).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
TiO2 NRs were synthesized by a hydrothermal route. Perovskite precursor solution was spin-coated onto the TiO2 NRs, followed by coating with HTM and deposition of Ag by thermal evaporation.
5:Data Analysis Methods
UV–vis diffuse reflection spectra, Tauc plots, Tafel polarization curves, J-V curves, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used for analysis.
