Fabrication of highly efficient and stable hole‐transport material free perovskite solar cells through morphology and interface engineering: full ambient process
摘要： Carbon based hole-transport material (HTM) free perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) with low cost and high stability have attracted research interests. Here, we report a facile way to improve the performance of HTM free PVSCs by employing two strategies: firstly, adding a small amount of tetrahydrofuran (THF) in lead iodide (PbI2)/N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution to improve the quality of perovskite film; secondly, introducing an ultra-thin Al2O3 film at the interface of TiO2/perovskite to reduce charge recombination. THF is found to facilitate the formation of homogenous perovskite films with better coverage, while the ultra-thin Al2O3 layer will avoid the direct contact of TiO2 with CH3NH3PbI3. The Al2O3 layer can effectively block holes and prevents charge recombination, thus lead to a dramatic improvement of open circuit voltage and fill factor in PVSCs. Moreover, our PVSCs show excellent long term stability with no degradation for 1000 hours under ambient conditions. We provide a facile way for the future commercialization of efficient low-cost HTM-free PVSCs.

Enhanced electrical conductivity of transparent electrode using metal microfiber networks for gridless thin-film solar cells
摘要： Improving the optical transmittance and electrical conductivity in transparent conductors (TC) has been a critical issue for decades due to their numerous applications. In this paper, we suggest an approach to produce extremely conductive TC material from electroplated Ni microfiber networks (NiMFs) in order to achieve highly efficient and aesthetically superior thin-film solar cells and modules. The high cross-sectional aspect ratio of NiMFs significantly enhanced their electrical conductivity and optical transmittance simultaneously. The TC structure employing NiMFs was a successful substitute for conventional patterned grids in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin-film solar cells because it reduced the series resistance, which is especially advantageous for large-area cells. The NiMF-induced transmittance loss was compensated for by the formation of a light diffusion layer on the NiMF. We propose that the excellent performance of NiMF TC materials enables the elimination or significant reduction of the grids in thin-film solar cells and modules.

Encapsulated Textile Organic Solar Cells Fabricated by Spray Coating
摘要： Solution based processes such as screen printing and spray coating are established processes for fabricating organic solar cells (OSCs) on flexible polymer substrates. However, realizing a flexible solar cell on a textile substrate remains a significant challenge due to the properties of the textile itself, which can present an absorbent, rough and fibrous surface. The textile also limits processing temperatures which can reduce functional materials performance. In this work, we demonstrate an optimized fabrication approach using entirely spray coating to fabricate textile OSCs with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 0.4 %. An interface layer is first deposited on the standard woven textile that forms a smooth supporting layer for the subsequent spray coated functional layers. A top encapsulation layer is deposited on top of the fabricated textile OSCs, which improves the durability and life time of the OSCs is evidenced by cyclic bending test.

Edge/Defect-rich, Metallic, and Oxygen-heteroatom-doped WS2 Superstructure with Superior Electrocatalytic Performance for Green Solar Energy Conversion
摘要： Two-dimensional tungsten sulfide is widely applied in electrocatalysis field. However, WS2 possesses catalytic active sites located at the layer edge and an inert surface for catalysis. Therefore, increasing the exposure of active sites at the edge and effectively activating the inert sites on the surface is important challenges. Here, we synthesize edge/defect-rich and oxygen-heteroatom-doped WS2 (ED-O-WS2) superstructure. The power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) based on ED-O-WS2 counter electrode reach 10.36% (under 1 Sun, AM 1.5, 100 mW cm?2) and 11.19% (under 40 mW cm?2). These values are, to our knowledge, the highest reported efficiency for DSCs based on Pt-free counter electrodes in I3-/I- electrolytes. Analysis of micro-nano structure and electrocatalytic mechanism indicate that ED-O-WS2 exhibit metallic properties in the electrolyte, and that rich edge/defect and oxygen doping in ED-O-WS2 play an important role in improving the catalytic activity of WS2. Moreover, ED-O-WS2 displays better catalytic reversibility for I3-/I- electrolytes than that of noble metal Pt.

CePd‐Nanoparticles‐Incorporated Carbon Nanofibers as Efficient Counter Electrode for DSSCs
摘要： In this study, the cerium-palladium (CePd) incorporated carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were manufactured by low-cost and versatile electrospinning technique and successfully applied as a counter electrode to fabricate the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The utilized physiochemical techniques, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) confirmed the formation of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) incorporated by Ce and Pd nanoparticles. CePd incorporated CNFs were preliminary presented good electrocatalytic activity towards the iodide redox couple, as investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The DSSC fabricated using CePd incorporated CNFs based counter electrode (CE) attained an applicable power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.52% along with open circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.739 V, a short-circuit current density (JSC) of 11.42 mA/cm2 and fill factor (FF) of 0.54. According to primary results, the CePd incorporated CNFs based CE is a promising, and cost-effective alternative CE for photoelectrochemical devices.

Amplification of the Zeroth Order Mode in Ultra-thin Layers
摘要： The ultra-thin limit regime is characterized by a structure which at least in one dimension is signi?cantly smaller than the incoming light wavelength. The absorption in this regime is characterized either by very weak absorption or by a broad peak attributed to the zeroth order Fabry-Perot mode. We show that this mode provides a 14.5% ultimate ef?ciency in a 25 nm GaAs slab on a gold substrate. GaAs in air achieves only a 5% for a 10 nm slab. Such an ampli?cation of the resonance absorption is attributed to the high losses of the substrate. For very high losses, the zeroth order mode transits from an over-damped regime to an under-damped one.

Surface Passivation of Perovskite Films via Iodide Salt Coatings for Enhanced Stability of Organic Lead Halide Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： Organic–inorganic halide perovskite materials have emerged as attractive alternatives to conventional solar cells, but device stability remains a concern. Recent research has demonstrated that the formation of superoxide species under exposure of the perovskite to light and oxygen leads to the degradation of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskites. In particular, it has been revealed that iodide vacancies in the perovskite are key sites in facilitating superoxide formation from oxygen. This paper shows that passivation of CH3NH3PbI3 films with an iodide salt, namely phenylethylammonium iodide (PhEtNH3I) can significantly enhance film and device stability under light and oxygen stress, without compromising power conversion efficiency. These observations are consistent with the iodide salt treatment reducing iodide vacancies and therefore lowers the yield of superoxide formation and improves stability. The present study elucidates a pathway to the future design and optimization of perovskite solar cells with greater stability.

Influence of the intramolecular donor-acceptor distance on the performance of double-cable polymers
摘要： A series of double-cable polymers PFT-C4-PDI, PFT-C6-PDI and PFT-C8-PDI, composed of the poly(fluorene-alt-thiophene) (PFT) backbone, the perylene diimide (PDI) pendants and the length-various (four-, six- and eight-carbon) covalent alkoxy linkers, were presented. The backbone polymer chain created the hole-transporting channel and the inner-chain aggregation of PDI units created the electron-transporting channel, but the aggregation became weaker along with the longer linker, as proven by the UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence quenching. The polymers were non-conducting, but functioned as efficient compatibilizers. The doping of the polymers induced the formation of the bi-continuous networks inside P3HT:PCBM blends, facilitated photo-generated exciton dissociation and charge transporting. PFT-C4-PDI more efficiently increased the absorption coefficient and the charge-carrier mobility of the P3HT:PCBM film. The power conversation efficiency (PCE) of the P3HT:PCBM bulk-heterojunction solar cells with 3 wt% PFT-C4-PDI, PFT-C6-PDI and PFT-C8-PDI doping were improved by 16.9%, 9.2% and 8.0%, respectively, relative to the non-doped reference device.

Unidirectional light scattering by up–down Janus dimers composed of gold nanospheres and silicon nanorods
摘要： In this paper, a time-domain finite-difference (FDTD) method is used to simulate the scattering properties of a Janus dimer that a gold nanosphere is putted on the top of a silicon nanorod. We have demonstrated that the Janus dimer exhibits unidirectional scattering in the whole wavelength region of the sunlight. The unidirectionality of the dimer will improve with the height increase of the silicon nanorod and the gap decrease between two adjacent dimers. In our simulation, the forward-to-backward ratio (F/B) of the Janus dimer calculated dividing forward scattering spectra by backward scattering spectra can achieve the maximum of 20 when the height of silicon nanorod is 300 nm. What is more, we have applied the Janus dimers to amorphous silicon thin-film solar cells as antireflection structures. The reflectivity of the solar cells reduces by 39.40% and the short circuit current density improves by 5.04% than those of the reference. Therefore, the Janus dimers has a great application prospect in photovoltaic devices.

Caesium-Incorporated Triple Cation Perovskites Deliver Fully Reversible and Stable Nanoscale Voltage Response
摘要： Perovskite solar cells that incorporate small concentrations of Cs in their A-site have shown increased lifetime and improved device performance. Yet, the development of fully stable devices operating near the theoretical limit requires understanding how Cs influences perovskites’ electrical properties at the nanoscale. Here, we determine how the chemical composition of three perovskites (MAPbBr3, MAPbI3, and Cs-mixed) affects their short- and long-term voltage stabilities, with <50 nm spatial resolution. We map an anomalous irreversible electrical signature on MAPbBr3 at the mesoscale, resulting in local Voc variations of ~400 mV, and in entire grains with negative contribution to the Voc. These measurements prove the necessity of high spatial resolution mapping to elucidate the fundamental limitations of this emerging material. Conversely, we capture the fully reversible voltage response of Cs-mixed perovskites, containing small amounts of Cs, FA, and Br, demonstrating that the desired electrical output persists even at the nanoscale. The Cs-mixed material presents no spatial variation in Voc, as ion motion is restricted. Our results show that the nanoscale electrical behavior of the perovskites is intimately connected to their chemical composition and macroscopic response.
