Energy efficiency evaluation of metal laser direct deposition based on process characteristics and empirical modeling
摘要： Metal laser direct deposition (MLDD) is a typical process in additive manufacturing (AM), which permits the build of complex and fully dense metallic parts by using laser to melt the metal powder layer by layer. However, the process is characterized by high energy consumption and low energy efficiency. This paper established an empirical model to characterize the relationship between process parameters and energy efficiency for MLDD based on the essence of thermodynamics physical energy conversion. Additionally, a recognition method of cross-sectional profile of the deposited layer was achieved by adding tungsten carbide (WC) powder, which greatly improved the measurement reliability. Taguchi experiment and regression identification method were applied, and the relative error of the model was less than 10%. The results show that laser power has significant influence on the process energy efficiency of MLDD. The energy efficiency of single-track multi-layer stacking (SMS) process and multi-track single-layer lapping (MSL) process increased by 5.7% and 50.3%, respectively, under the optimal process parameter condition. The proposed model can be used effectively for the energy efficiency evaluation and offer the potential for improving the sustainability of MLDD.

Stable Sn/Pb-Based Perovskite Solar Cells with a Coherent 2D/3D Interface
摘要： Low-band-gap metal halide perovskite semiconductor based on mixed Sn/Pb is a key component to realize high-ef?ciency tandem perovskite solar cells. However, the mixed perovskites are unstable in air due to the oxidation of Sn2+. To overcome the stability problem, we introduced N-(3-aminopropyl)-2-pyrrolidinone into the CH3NH3Sn0.5Pb0.5IxCl3-x thin ?lm. The carbonyl group on the molecule interacts with Sn2+/Pb2+ by Lewis acid coordination, forming vertically oriented 2D layered perovskite. The 2D phase is seamlessly connected to the bulk perovskite crystal, with a lattice coherently extending across the two phases. Based on this 2D/3D hybrid structure, we assembled low-band-gap Sn-based perovskite solar cells with power conversion ef?ciency greater than 12%. The best device was among the most stable Sn-based organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells to date, keeping 90% of its initial performance at ambient condition without encapsulation, and more than 70% under continuous illumination in an N2-?lled glovebox for over 1 month.

Fabrication of a polypropylene immunoassay platform by photografting reaction
摘要： The technology of an immunoassay detection platform is critical to clinical disease diagnoses, especially for developing a medical diagnostic system. A polymer-based immunoassay platform was fabricated on nonwoven fabric polypropylene (PP) using a photografting reaction to graft 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and sulfobetaine (SBMA). The antifouling properties of PP-g-P(HEMA-co-SBMA) were investigated by fibrinogen adsorption and platelet adhesion. Carbonyldiimidazole was employed to activate the pendant hydroxyl groups in HEMA moieties and covalently coupled antibody molecules. The detection of the limit of the immunoassay platform was as low as 10pg/mL. Antibody amount and bioactivity affected the availability of antibody and the sensitivity of immunoassay. The immune efficiency was dependent on the strategies of antibody immobilization. The immune efficiency of Au-g-P(SBMA-co-HEMA) and Au-SH surfaces measured by QCM-D was 165% and 35.7%, respectively. The covalently binding antibody via hydrophilic polymer chains as spacers could retain fragment antigen-binding up orientation, maintain the bioactivity of antibody, and mainly improve the accessibility of antibody molecules via adjusting the conformations of polymer chains when the antibodies recognized the antigens. Therefore, grafting hydrophilic polymers, such as zwitterionic PSBMA and reactive PHEMA onto nonwoven fabric PP, and binding antibody by covalent strategy had the potential to be developed as a commercial immunoassay platform.

Nano-mirror embedded back reflector layer (BRL) for advanced light management in thin silicon solar cells
摘要： This work illustrates a technology for advanced light management by introducing a nonconventional back reflector layer (BRL) in amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells. To meet this, silver sulfide (Ag2S) nanoparticles with ~50 nm diameter have been chosen as the nano-mirror owing to its low parasitic absorption loss over a broad wavelength (300 to 1100 nm) region. The Ag2S NPs were sandwiched between two indium tin oxide (ITO) layer and placed as the back reflector layer of an a-Si:H solar cell to achieve better light trapping within the active layers. The embedded structure exhibited high reflectance (up to 93%) in the red and near-infrared region, the main working zone of a-Si:H cells. With the incorporation of such state of the art back reflector structure in a-Si:H solar cells, a photo-conversion efficiency of 10.58% has been achieved; which is one of the best in this class.

Efficient White LEDs Using Liquid-state Magic-sized CdSe Quantum Dots
摘要： Magic clusters have attracted significant interest to explore the dynamics of quantum dot (QD) nucleation and growth. At the same time, CdSe magic-sized QDs reveal broadband emission in the visible wavelength region, which advantageously offer simple integration of a single-type of nanomaterial and high color rendering ability for white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Here, we optimized the quantum yield of magic-sized CdSe QDs up to 22% via controlling the synthesis parameters without any shelling or post-treatment process and integrated them in liquid-state on blue LED to prevent the efficiency drop due to host-material effect. The fabricated white LEDs showed color-rendering index and luminous efficiency up to 89 and 11.7 lm/W, respectively.

New insights into active-area-dependent performance of hybrid perovskite solar cells
摘要： The morphology of hybrid perovskite thin films depends strongly on the processing parameters due to its complex crystallization kinetics from a solution to solid perovskite halide phase. It is also profoundly sensitive to the device area of the deposited thin film, and hence reproducible photoconversion efficiency (PCE) remained a bottleneck for the fabrication of efficient photovoltaic devices having large active area. The present work focuses on the investigations of the relationship between perovskite ink concentration-dependent quality of the perovskite overlayer and PCE of the perovskite solar cells (PSC) while scaling-up process. The field-emission scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the surface coverage of perovskite overlayer depends on the concentration of perovskite solution and device area. The active-area-dependent current density (J)-voltage (V) and external quantum efficiency measurements identify morphology-dependent variation in charge-transport/recombination pathways. We confirmed that among different precursor concentrations, 40 wt% perovskite ink is suitable to produce uniform perovskite overlayer over 1 cm2. As a result, highly reproducible PCE * 13% has been achieved for the PSC having an active area of 1 cm2. Overall, our findings significantly provide new insights into the active-area-dependent PCE of PSC.

Electrochromic device with Magnetron sputtered Tungsten Oxide (WO<sub>3</sub>) and nafion membrane: performance with varying Tungsten Oxide thickness- A report
摘要： Electrochromics is the emerging technology for energy conservation and indoor climatic control through smart windows. In this study we are reporting four layer electrochromic device: ITO (400nm)/ commercially procured Nafion (183μm) / WO3 (44nm to 200nm)/ ITO (400nm). The active area (A) of the electrochromic devices are 3cm2. The tungsten oxide (WO3) and ITO thin films have been deposited at room temperature (300 K) by reactive DC Magnetron sputtering. The sheet resistance of ITO is 20 ?/□. The “as deposited” WO3 films are amorphous and have high optical transmission (75%- 85%) in the visible spectrum. The optical band gap decreases with increasing thickness of WO3 thin films. The coloration efficiency (CE) of the electrochromic device increases with increasing thickness of the WO3 layer. The CE for the device with WO3 thickness 200 nm is 184 cm2/C: the highest reported so far for a hybrid electrochromic device. The increase in the CE with thickness has been explained (for the first time) by replacing the surface charge density (Q/A) with the volume charge density (Q/A*t) in the coloration efficiency formula derived from the Beer Lambert’s law.

Solar water splitting over Rh <sub/>0.5</sub> Cr <sub/>1.5</sub> O <sub/>3</sub> -loaded AgTaO <sub/>3</sub> of a valence-band-controlled metal oxide photocatalyst
摘要： Improvement of water splitting performance of AgTaO3 (BG 3.4 eV) of a valence-band-controlled photocatalyst was examined. Survey of cocatalysts revealed that a Rh0.5Cr1.5O3 cocatalyst was much more effective than Cr2O3, RuO2, NiO and Pt for water splitting into H2 and O2 in a stoichiometric amount. The optimum loading amount of the Rh0.5Cr1.5O3 cocatalyst was 0.2 wt%. The apparent quantum yield (AQY) at 340 nm of the optimized Rh0.5Cr1.5O3(0.2 wt%)/AgTaO3 photocatalyst reached to about 40%. Rh0.5Cr1.5O3(0.2 wt%)/AgTaO3 gave a solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency (STH) of 0.13% for photocatalytic water splitting under simulated sunlight irradiation. Bubbles of gasses evolved by the solar water splitting were visually observed under atmospheric pressure at room temperature.

A systematic approach to ZnO nanoparticle-assisted electron transport bilayer for high efficiency and stable perovskite solar cells
摘要： Minimizing the interface loss of perovskite solar cells is critical to achieving high photovoltaic performance, and intensive research is underway on interfacial engineering in this regard. In this work, we introduce a ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) interlayer between phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) and a metal electrode in order to reduce the interface loss due to charge recombination and device degradation, and also investigate the dependence of device performance on the thickness and morphology of the PCBM and PCBM/ZnO electron transport bilayer. After achieving optimized PCBM and ZnO thickness, the PCBM/ZnO bilayer-based devices reached an average power conversion efficiency of 15.63% (Max. 16.39%) with an open circuit voltage of 1.05 V, short circuit current density of 18.69 mA cm-2, and fill factor of 79.95%. In addition, hysteresis behavior and atmospheric stability are significantly improved by the incorporation of a PCBM/ZnO bilayer. Therefore, the implementation of a PCBM/ZnO electron transport bilayer is a promising approach toward achieving a high-efficiency PSC with stable power output (low J-V hysteresis) and durability.

High lying energy of charge-transfer states and small energetic offsets enabled by fluorinated quinoxaline-based alternating polymer and alkyl-thienyl side-chain modified non-fullerene acceptor
摘要： Significant driving forces are the prerequisite to achieve fast and efficient charge separation in fullerene derivatives-based polymer solar cells to achieve high power conversion efficiency (PCE). However, the large driving forces both in photo-induced hole transfer (PHT) and in photo-induced electron transfer (PET) processes lead to significant energy losses, resulting in low open-circuit voltage in the devices. Recent studies indicate the driving forces in non-fullerene acceptors-based devices can be reduced to very low values but still with high PCE and low energy losses. Herein, we report a new donor:acceptor system with high lying energy of charge-transfer excitons (ECT) of 1.50 eV and very small driving forces (PHT of 0.28 eV and PET of 0.11 eV), in which a fluorinated quinoxaline-based alternating polymer (FTQ) and an alkyl-thienyl side-chain modified small molecule (ITIC-Th) are taken as the donor material and non-fullerene acceptor material, respectively. A high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.19% with maximal external quantum efficiency of 71% are achieved successfully in FTQ:ITIC-Th-based device after appropriate thermal annealing treatment, indicating FTQ can be further applied as donor materials with other highly efficient NF-acceptors to achieve enhanced performances and low energy losses.
