Investigation of the Effects of Various Organic Solvents on the PCBM Electron Transport Layer of Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： In this study, four organic solvents including 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB), chlorobenzene (CB), methylbenzene (MB), and chloroform (CF) were used as solvents in the [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) electron transport layer (ETL) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). This study observed the effects of various solvents on the surface morphology of the ETL by using an optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The surface roughness, crystal structure, and surface element bonding of the ETL were observed using an atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), respectively. The absorption spectrum of the perovskite layer was explored using an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrometer. The characteristics of the PSC device were analyzed in terms of its current density–voltage (J–V) curve, external quantum efficiency (EQE), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The results showed that DCB is a solvent with a high boiling point, low vapor pressure, and high dielectric constant, and using DCB as the solvent for ETL, the uniformity, coverage, and surface roughness of the ETL showed better properties. The power conversion efficiency of the PSC in which DCB was used as the solvent achieved a value of 11.07%, which was higher than that of the PSCs in which other solvents were used.

Enhanced efficiency of quantum dot light-emitting diode by sol-gel derived Zn1-xMgxO electron transport layer
摘要： In this study, sol-gel derived Zn1-xMgxO (ZMO) is proposed as an electron transport layer (ETL) for solution-processed quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). It is demonstrated that the increase of Mg content in Zn1-xMgxO films from 0% to 20% causes a dramatic suppression of electron current, which is attributed to the lifting of conduction band minimum and reduction of electron mobility. As a result of Mg-doping, the charge carrier balance might be achieved in the QLED with the Zn0.85Mg0.15O layer resulting in maximum external quantum efficiency of 5.74% and current efficiency of 18 cd·A-1, which are over 3-fold higher than in the case of the device with ZnO layer. Improved device performance is further explained by reduced exciton quenching at QDs/ZMO interface, which is confirmed by time-resolved PL experiments. Obtained results indicate that sol-gel derived ZMO is a promising candidate for ETL in quantum-dot based optoelectronic devices.

Front contact optimization for rear-junction SHJ solar cells with ultra-thin n-type nanocrystalline silicon oxide
摘要： In this work, ultra-thin n-type hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon oxide [(nc-SiOx:H (n)] film was used to replace amorphous silicon [a-Si:H (n)] as electron transport layer (ETL) in rear-junction silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell to reduce front parasitic absorption. The contact resistivity between the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) and ultra-thin ETL interface plays an important role on the cell performance. A nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) contact or seed layer was introduced in the solar cell with ultra-thin nc-SiOx:H and the impact of the nc-Si:H thickness on the cell performance was investigated. To demonstrate scalability, bifacial solar cells with 10 nm ETL were fabricated on the M2 (244 cm2) wafer. The best cell performance is obtained by the solar cell with 5 nm nc-SiOx:H (n) and 5 nm nc-Si:H (n) contact layer and it exhibits open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 738 mV, fill factor (FF) of 80.4%, short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 39.0 mA/cm2 and power conversion efficiency (η) of 23.1% on M2 wafer. Compared to the one with nc-SiOx:H (n), an increase of 3%abs of FF and 0.5%abs of η and lower front contact resistivity is demonstrated for the solar cells with nc-Si:H (n) / nc-SiOx:H (n) double layer, which is caused by the lower energy barrier for electrons, according to the band diagram calculated by the AFORS-HET simulator. A simulation on the solar cell optical and electrical losses was done by the Quokka 3 simulator and shows much lower electrical transport loss and a bit higher front surface transmission loss for the one with double layer than nc-SiOx:H (n) single layer.

[IEEE 2020 IEEE Latin America Electron Devices Conference (LAEDC) - San Jose, Costa Rica (2020.2.25-2020.2.28)] 2020 IEEE Latin America Electron Devices Conference (LAEDC) - Impact of the Hafnium Oxide as Hole Blocking Layer on the Performance of Organic Solar Cells
摘要： The effects of hafnium oxide (HfO2) as hole blocking layer (HBL) on the stability and degradation under air environment of inverted bulk heterojunction organic solar cells (iOSC), using as donor material thieno[3,4b]thiophene-alt-benzodithiophene (PTB7) and as acceptor material [6,6]-phenyl C71 butyric acid methyl ester (PC70BM) are presented. The ultrathin films of HfO2 layers 0.9 nm of thick were deposited by thermal evaporation. The highest power conversion efficiency obtained (PCE) was of 8.33%. The current density-voltage characteristic (J-V) was modeled through the ideal-diode equivalent circuit model. For comparison, cells with poly [(9,9-bis (30- (N,N-dimethylamino) propyl) -2,7-fluorene) -alt-2,7- (9,9-dioctylfluorene)] (PFN) and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) as hole blocking layer were fabricated. The three groups of cells were exposed to air for 1000 h. The electrical parameters extracted from the current density–voltage characteristic (J–V) were analyzed. The PCE for cells manufactured with HfO2 as HBL remains around 30% after 1000 h under air environment, showing less degradation than iOSCs with ZnO.

Supramolecular Design of Donor-Acceptor Complexes via Heteroatom Replacement towards Structure and Electrical Transporting Property Tailoring
摘要： A feasible strategy relies on using heteroatom replacement which is namely chemical modification to the organic compound. Here we present this design concept for donor-acceptor complexes, which involves introducing nitrogen atoms to the middle ring of donor molecules to promote short contacts and reduce steric effect of the mixed framework. These nitrogen modified complexes are able to possess shorter molecular distance besides the mixed stacking pathway, enlarged π–π interactions or even a scarce 1:2.5 molar ratio through extra acceptor insertion. As a result, the unique 1:2 complex with nitrogen atoms on the different sides demonstrated stable electron field-effect mobility performance, while the binary system with no nitrogen replacement or N atoms on the identical side displayed poor ambipolar properties. These results confirmed that the heteroatom replacement is a powerful molecular design tool to fine tune the molecular packing of organic donor-acceptor complexes and their corresponding electronic properties.

Effect of seed layer on growth of rutile TiO <sub/>2</sub> nanorods
摘要： For achieving the high quality of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanorods, herein, we present a synthesis of rutile TiO2 nanorods on a transparent conductive fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substratewith seed layer by a two-step method. TiO2 thin films were first precoated by spin coating and annealing, followed by the growth of TiO2 nanorods with a hydrothermal method. The crystallographic nanostructures and properties of the nanorods were investigated. XRD results demonstrate that seed layer was tetragonal anatase TiO2 structure while nanorods had tetragonal rutile TiO2 structure. Since the hydrothermal technique was conducted in medium acid, structure of nanorods was induced to form in rutile phase. The major characteristic orientation of nanorods on the seed layers was (002) and minor in (101) planes. FE-SEM results show that seed layer enhances the process to achieve vertical-aligned orientation of the TiO2 nanorods, which contribute to develop electron transport rate and could pay an important role inelectron transport layer in high-performance Perovskite solar cell.

Influence of an Insulator Layer on the Charge Transport in a Metal/Insulator/n-AlGaN Structure
摘要： In this work, a parametric study revealing the impact of metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure in improving the electron injection between the n-AlGaN layer and the electrode metal is conducted. After inserting an insulator at the surface between the n-AlGaN layer and the electrode metal, the energy band bending of the thin insulator manipulates the conduction band barrier height between the electrode and the n-AlGaN layer, which enables the electrons to more efficiently tunnel through the thin insulator barrier. As a result, the electrical characteristics for the devices are significantly improved if the MIS structure is optimized. Furthermore, the impact of the affinity, the relative dielectric constant, and the bandgap for the insulator on the electron injection is investigated. Meanwhile, it is found that the electron injection is sensitive to the thickness and the length for the insulator. Detailed analysis regarding the electron transport and the device physics are reported in this work.

Synthesis of Cu2O/Carbon film/NiCoB-GO Heterostructure Photocathode for Efficient Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting
摘要： Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting offers a promising way to convert solar energy to chemical energy. The electron transfer rate and surface-catalyzed ability toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) play the key roles in the efficiency of PEC water splitting. In this work, a Cu2O/Carbon film/NiCoB-GO heterostructure photocathode is fabricated. Among them, thickness-controllable carbon film served as the electron transport and protective layer with favourable optical property, NiCoB-GO amorphous catalyst displays the efficient performance towards HER in neutral condition. The optimized photocathode shows the PEC-HER performance with a photocurrent density of -2.9 mA/cm2 at 0 V vs. RHE, and it also presents better stability than bare Cu2O. This work provides a novel heterostructure photocathode for promoting solar-driven PEC water splitting efficiently.

Core-Shell ZnO@SnO2 Nanoparticles for Efficient Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： The ideal charge transport materials should exhibit a proper energy level, high carrier mobility, sufficient conductivity, and excellent charge extraction ability. Here, a novel electron transport material was designed and synthesized via using a simple and facile solvothermal method, which is composed by the core-shell ZnO@SnO2 nanoparticles. Thanks to the good match between energy level of SnO2 shell and high electron mobility of core ZnO nanoparticles, the PCE of inorganic perovskite solar cells has reached 14.35% (JSC: 16.45 mA cm-2, VOC: 1.11 V, FF: 79%), acting core-shell ZnO@SnO2 nanoparticles as the electron transfer layer. The core-shell ZnO@SnO2 nanoparticles size is 8.1 nm with the SnO2 shell thickness of 3.4 nm, and the electron mobility is seven times more than SnO2 nanoparticles. Meanwhile, the uniform core-shell ZnO@SnO2 nanoparticles is extremely favorable to the growth of inorganic perovskite films. These preliminary results strongly suggest the great potential of this novel electron transfer material in high-efficiency perovskite solar cells.

Solution-processable porous organic polymer for tailoring the charge transport property of planar perovskite solar cells
摘要： Herein, a soluble, highly branched, and cross-linked polymer was prepared with alkyl-modified perylene and melamine motifs by adapting the synthetic strategy for porous organic polymers (T-POP). With the expanded surface area of such a polymer relative to the linear one-dimensional conjugated polymers, the intermolecular contact between the optically active units such as perylene motifs in the back bones or branches increased in frequency, resulting in strong π-π stacking, which facilitated the charge charrier transport in planar perovskite solar cells. Additionally, its amorphous nature afforded a smooth surface without severe aggregation, which typically limits the continuous charge carrier pathways. However, the films showed rough surface morphology when the substrates such as indium tin oxide glass with high hydrophilic property were used, while the films showed smooth surfaces when it was deposited on PC70BM, which was one of the device components. Furthermore, by comparing its frontier orbital levels with those of the other components in the devices, it was confirmed that T-POP could be applied as a secondary electron transport layer on the PC70BM layer. As a result, the stability of the perovskite layer increased with a concomitant increase in the hydrophobicity of the top layer with T-POP and the power conversion efficiencies of the functioning devices increased up to 13% with respect to the devices without T-POP enhancing electron transport efficacy.
