Improving the Visible-Light Photocatalytic Activity of Graphitic Carbon Nitride by Carbon Black Doping
摘要： Hydrogen production by water splitting and the removal of aqueous dyes by using a catalyst and solar energy are an ideal future energy source and useful for environmental protection. Graphitic carbon nitride can be used as the photocatalyst with visible light irradiation. However, it typically suffers from the high recombination of carriers and low electrical conductivity. Here, we have developed a facile mix-thermal strategy to prepare carbon black-modified graphitic carbon nitrides, which possess high electrical conductivity, a wide adsorption range of visible light, and a low recombination rate of carriers. With the help of carbon black, highly crystallized graphitic carbon nitrides with built-in triazine and heptazine heterojunctions are obtained. Improved photocatalytic activities have been achieved in carbon black-modified graphitic carbon nitride. The dye removal rate can be three times faster than that of pristine graphitic carbon nitride and the photocatalytic H2 generation is 234 μmol h?1 g?1 under visible light irradiation.

Electrical Properties and Thermal Expansion Characteristics of (1- <i>x</i> )Ba <sub/>0.948</sub> Ca <sub/>0.05</sub> Er <sub/>0.002</sub> Ti <sub/>0.94</sub> Zr <sub/>0.06</sub> O <sub/>3</sub> -( <i>x</i> )Pr Lead-Free Piezoelectric Ceramics Sintered at a Low-Temperature
摘要： (1 (cid:1) x)Ba0.948Ca0.05Er0.002Ti0.94Zr0.06O3–(x)Pr (x ? 0–0.75 mol%) ceramics are sintered at 1240 (cid:3)C by conventional solid-state reaction method using the as-synthesized nanoparticles, which are prepared by a modified Pechini method. The structural, morphological, electrical, and thermal expansion properties as a function of varying x are systematically investigated. All samples feature rhombohedral phase, and their lattice parameters are accurately calculated by Rietveld refinement software. Volume of oxygen vacancies initially decreases and then increases with increasing x, leading to diversified electrical properties. Deteriorated electrical properties of the ceramics with excessive x are attributed to the increment of defect complexes with a large volume of oxygen vacancies. The coefficient of thermal expansion values of the ceramics that is influenced by phase evolution and structure defects under different temperature ranges are studied. The respective optimal electrical properties, that is, d33 ? 186 pC N mol%. This research is believed to be insightful to practical application of the lead-free multifunctional electron components.

Effects of Nd, Al Doping on the Structure and Properties of BiFeO3
摘要： The BiFeO3(BFO) and Bi0.95Nd0.05Fe1-xAlxO3 (x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1) powders were prepared at 200 °C for 24 h by hydrothermal method. The effects of Al doping content on the structure, morphology, magnetic, and photocatalytic properties were studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) demonstrated the compounds are distorted rhombohedral perovskite structure without any other heterogeneity and structural transition. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) reflected surface of compounds is a dense, agglomerated sphere. As the concentration of Al3+ increases, a small part of the spherical crystallites eventually becomes cauliflower shape. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDS) showed the Bi0.95Nd0.05Fe0.95Al0.05O3 sample mainly consists of five elements (Bi, Fe, O, Nd, Al) and atom radio matched well with the formula. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) integrated in a physical property measurement system (PPMS-9) illustrated introducing Nd3+ ions into BFO will enhance its magnetism at room temperature. However, with the increase of non-magnetic ion Al3+ concentration in Bi0.95Nd0.05Fe1-xAlxO3 (x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1), the network structure of Fe-O-Fe was destroyed, which led to the decrease of its net magnetization, so that the hysteresis loop shows paramagnetism. The photocatalytic performance of BFO increased initially and decreased afterwards as Al3+ concentration increased, and the best catalytic performance was achieved at x = 0.05.

Probe and Control of the Tiny Amounts of Dopants in BHJ Film Enable Higher-Performance Polymer Solar Cells
摘要： In order to achieve efficient doping in polymer solar cell (PSC), the dopant needs to be selectively located in the binary components of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) film according to its polarity. The rarely studied n-type dopant is thoroughly examined in a simplified planar heterojunction (PHJ) device to address its favored location in the active layer. Results show that the n-dopant distributing in the acceptor layer or at the donor/acceptor interface produces enhanced device performance, whereas it harms the device when locating in the donor layer. Based on the results, the benefit of n-type doping is then transferred to the high-efficient BHJ devices via a sequential coating procedure. The performance improvement is closely linked with the variation of dopant’s location in the BHJ film, which is carefully examined by the synchrotron techniques with delicate chemical sensitivity. More interestingly, the sequential coating procedure can be easily extended to the p-doped device only by changing the dopant’s polarity in the middle layer. These findings pave the way of ambipolar doping in PSCs and make performance improvement by molecular doping within expectation.

Improvement of Power Conversion Efficiency of Quantum Dot-Sensitized Solar Cells by Doping of Manganese into a ZnS Passivation Layer and Cosensitization of Zinc-Porphyrin on a Modified Graphene Oxide/Nitrogen-Doped TiO <sub/>2</sub> Photoanode
摘要： It is vital to acquire power conversion efficiencies comparable to other emerging solar cell technologies by making quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) competitive. In this study, the effect of graphene oxide (GO), nitrogen, manganese, and a porphyrin compound on the performance of QDSSCs based on a TiO2/CdS/ZnS photoanode was investigated. First, adding GO and nitrogen into TiO2 has a conspicuous impact on the cell efficacy. Both these materials reduce the recombination rate and expand the specific surface area of TiO2 as well as dye loading, reinforcing cell efficiency value. The maximum power conversion efficiency of QDSSC with a GO N-doped photoelectrode was 2.52%. Second, by employing Mn2+ (5 and 10 wt %) doping of ZnS, we have succeeded in considerably improving cell performance (from 2.52 to 3.47%). The reason for this could be for the improvement of the passivation layer of ZnS by Mn2+ ions, bringing about to a smaller recombination of photoinjected electrons with either oxidized dye molecules or electrolyte at the surface of titanium dioxide. However, doping of 15 wt % Mn2+ had an opposite effect and somewhat declined the cell performance. Finally, a Zn-porphyrin dye was added to the CdS/ZnS by a cosensitization method, widening the light absorption range to the NIR (near-infrared region) (>700 nm), leading to the higher short-circuit current density (JSC) and cell efficacy. Utilizing an environmentally safe porphyrin compound into the structure of QDSSC has dramatically enhanced the cell efficacy to 4.62%, which is 40% higher than that of the result obtained from the TiO2/CdS/ZnS photoelectrode without porphyrin coating.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Chicago, IL, USA (2019.6.16-2019.6.21)] 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Doping of CdTe using CuCl <sub/>2</sub> Solution for Highly Efficient Photovoltaic Devices
摘要： Here, we report doping of cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin film solar cells using copper (II) chloride (CuCl2) solution in deionized water. The CdTe thin films were immersed in 0.1 mmol CuCl2 solution in water and annealed in the temperature range of 180 – 240 ℃ for various time durations. The devices were completed using thermally evaporated gold (Au) and measured under simulated AM1.5G spectrum. The average device efficiency of CuCl2 treated CdTe devices increased to 13.7 % (best cell reaching 14.0%) with significant improvement on open-circuit voltage (VOC) as compared with 12.4% (best cell 12.7%) for thermally evaporated Cu doped CdTe devices. For CuCl2 treated CdTe devices, we found higher photoluminescence (PL) intensity and longer carrier life time at room temperature indicating solution based doping offers better control of Cu doping density as compared with evaporated Cu.

Bright Blue Light Emission of Ni2+ ions doped CsPbClxBr3-x Perovskite Quantum Dots Enabling Efficient Light-Emitting Devices
摘要： In recent years, significant advances have been achieved in the red and green perovskite quantum dots（PQDs）based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, the performances of the blue perovskite LEDs are still seriously lagging behind that of the green and red counterparts. Herein, we successfully developed Ni2+ ions doped CsPbClxBr3-x PQDs through the room-temperature supersaturated recrystallization synthetic approach. We simultaneously realized the doping of various concentrations of Ni2+ cations, and modulated the Cl/Br element ratios through introducing different amount of NiCl2 solution in the reaction medium. By the synthetic method, not only the emission wavelength from 508 to 432 nm of Ni2+ ions doped CsPbClxBr3-x QDs was facially adjusted, but also the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of PQDs was greatly improved due to efficiently removing the defects of the PQDs. Thus, the blue emission at 470 nm with PLQY of 89% was achieved in 2.5% Ni2+ ions doped CsPbCl0.99Br2.01 QDs, which increased nearly three times over that of undoped CsPbClBr2 QDs, and was the highest for the CsPbX3 PQDs with blue emission that fulfilling the NTSC standards. Benefiting from the high luminous Ni2+ ions doped PQDs, the blue emitting LED at 470 nm was obtained, exhibiting an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 2.4% and a maximum luminance of 612 cd/m2, which surpassed the best performance reported previously for the corresponding blue-emitting PQDs based LED.

Enhancement in the performance of nanostructured CuOa??ZnO solar cells by band alignment
摘要： In this study, we investigated the effect of cobalt doping on band alignment and the performance of nanostructured ZnO/CuO heterojunction solar cells. ZnO nanorods and CuO nanostructures were fabricated by a low-temperature and cost-effective chemical bath deposition technique. The band offsets between Zn1?xCoxO (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20) and CuO nanostructures were estimated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and it was observed that the reduction of the conduction band offset with CuO. This also results in an enhancement in the open-circuit voltage. It was demonstrated that an optimal amount of cobalt doping could effectively passivate the ZnO related defects, resulting in a suitable conduction band offset, suppressing interface recombination, and enhancing conductivity and mobility. The capacitance–voltage analysis demonstrated the effectiveness of cobalt doping on enhancing the depletion width and built-in potential. Through impedance spectroscopy analysis, it was shown that recombination resistance increased up to 10% cobalt doping, thus decreased charge recombination at the interface. Further, it was demonstrated that the insertion of a thin layer of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) between the active layer (CuO) and the gold electrode hinders the formation of a Schottky junction and improved charge extraction at the interface. The ZnO/CuO solar cells with 10% cobalt doped ZnO and 20 nm thick MoO3 buffer layer achieved the best power conversion efficiency of 2.11%. Our results demonstrate the crucial role of the band alignment on the performance of the ZnO/CuO heterojunction solar cells and could pave the way for further progress on improving conversion efficiency in oxide-based heterojunction solar cells.

Oxoammonium enabled secondary doping of hole transporting material PEDOT:PSS for high-performance organic solar cells
摘要： Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) is one of the most widely used hole transporting materials in organic solar cells (OSCs). Multiple strategies have been adopted to improve the conductivity of PEDOT:PSS, however, effective strategy that can optimize the conductivity, work function, and surface energy simultaneously to reach a better energy alignment and interface contact is rare. Here, we demonstrate that oxoammonium salts (TEMPO+X?) with different counterions can act as facile and novel dopants to realize secondary doping of PEDOT:PSS. The effective charge transfer process achieved between TEMPO+X? and PEDOT:PSS results in enhanced carrier density and improved conductivity of PEDOT:PSS. Moreover, different counterions of TEMPO+X? can tune the work function and surface energy of PEDOT:PSS, enabling improved device performances. The resulting device with PM6:Y6 as the active layer shows a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) over 16%. Moreover, this doping strategy can also be applied to other conjugated polymers such as poly(3-hexylthiophene). This work provides a promising strategy to tune the properties of conjugated polymers through doping, thus effectively boosting the performance of organic solar cells.

摘要： This paper presents a simple mathematical expression to model the effect of statistical dopant fluctuations on threshold voltage (Vth) of junction field-effect transistors (JFETs). The random discrete doping (RDD) in the active device area is used to derive an analytical model to compute the standard deviation, σ Vth,RDD of the Vth-distribution for any arbitrary channel doping profiles. The model shows that the Vth-variability in JFETs depends on the active device area, channel doping concentration, and the depth of the channel depletion region of the gate/channel pn-junction. The model is applied to compute σ Vth,RDD for symmetric and asymmetric source/drain double-gate n-channel JFETs. The simulation results show that the model can be used for predicting Vth-variability in JFETs.
