研究目的
Investigating the synthesis and characterization of (Ce,Sm) doped lanthanum oxychloride for photovoltaic solar cell applications to improve photovoltaic efficiency through spectral modification.
研究成果
The study successfully synthesized tetragonal LaOCl:Ce3+/Sm3+ phosphors via solid-state reaction at 700°C for 4 hours. The structural analysis confirmed the insertion of dopants into the mesh. Future work should focus on improving the material's physical properties and conducting advanced analyses like photoluminescence and UV-visible spectroscopy.
研究不足
The initial annealing temperature was insufficient, leading to the presence of an undesired hexagonal phase of La2O3. Further studies are needed to optimize the physical properties and confirm photon emission through photoluminescence.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a solid-state method for synthesizing LaOCl co-doped with Ce3+/Sm3+ ions. The structural properties were investigated using X-ray diffraction, Infrared Spectroscopy, and MEB analysis.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Chemical precursors La2O3, NH4Cl, Sm2O3, and CeCl3·7H2O were used. Samples were sintered at 300°C and then at 700°C for 4 hours.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Perkin-Elmer spectrometer UATR two for FT-IR, D2-Phaser Bruker-diffractometer for XRD, and scanning electron microscopy for chemical composition analysis.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Precursors were mixed, sintered, ground, washed, dried, and then analyzed.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
XRD data were analyzed using Scherer’s equation for crystallite size determination and Williamson-Hall law for deformation calculation.
