Near Infrared Lasera??Annealed IZO Flexible Device as a Sensitive H2S Sensor at Room Temperature
摘要: A metal-oxide material (indium zinc oxide [IZO]) device with near-infrared (NIR) laser annealing was demonstrated on both glass and bendable plastic substrates (polycarbonate, polyethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate). After only 60 s, the sheet resistance of IZO films annealed with a laser was comparable to that of thermal-annealed devices at temperatures in the range of 200°C–300°C (1 hr). XPS, ATR, and AFM were used to investigate the changes in the sheet resistance and correlate them to the composition and morphology of the thin film. Finally, the NIR laser-annealed IZO films were demonstrated to be capable of detecting changes in humidity and serving as a highly sensitive gas sensor of hydrogen sulfide (in parts-per-billion concentration), with room-temperature operation on a bendable substrate.

[IEEE 2019 International Energy and Sustainability Conference (IESC) - Farmingdale, NY, USA (2019.10.17-2019.10.18)] 2019 International Energy and Sustainability Conference (IESC) - Metal oxide-based heterojunction thin films for solar cell applications
摘要: The interest and development in a fully green future towards sustainable technology and environmental preservation has spurred exponentially for the past few years. The adoption in clean energy is underway with solar photovoltaic (PV) technology leading the race. To keep PV sector competitive with current conventionally generated electricity, an alternative economic PV module using cheap materials with low-cost deposition method is needed. Among the candidate, metal oxides (MO) semiconductors are great potential materials to achieve this goal due to its massive availability, non-toxicity, chemically stable, and can be deposited using low-cost techniques at ambient condition. In this report, the p-n junction solar cell was fabricated using layer by layer deposition of n-type and p-type metal oxide semiconductors. Co3O4 and CuO were used as absorbing layers and ZnO as a window layer in contact with each other using simple spin coating deposition method. Photocurrent density (JSC), photo voltage (VOC) and the crystallinity of materials were investigated to characterize their optoelectronic properties. It is observed that Co3O4 shows larger crystallite size compared to CuO at 26.66 nm and 24.86 nm, respectively. Samples consisting of Co3O4 and CuO p-n junction solar cell exhibits high absorbance in the visible spectral region of 350 nm to 750 nm. J-V measurement of FTO/ZnO/Co3O4/In heterojunction films exhibits short-circuit current density of 0.391 mA/cm-1 and open-circuit voltage of 0.476 V under the illumination of AM1.5 solar simulation (100mW/cm2). Meanwhile, FTO/ZnO/CuO/In shows short-circuit current density of 0.429 mA/cm-1 and open-circuit voltage of 0.048 V. Thus, it shows that green materials without any environmental issue has high potential in solar cells application.

Hexaferrite multiferroics: from bulk to thick films
摘要: We report studies of the structural and microstructural properties of Sr3Co2Fe24O41 in bulk form and as thick films. The precursor powders for the bulk form were prepared following the sol-gel auto-combustion method. The prepared pellets were synthesized at 1200 oC to produce Sr3Co2Fe24O41. The XRD spectra of the bulks showed the characteristic peaks corresponding to the Z-type hexaferrite structure as a main phase and second phases of CoFe2O4 and Sr3Fe2O7-x. The microstructure analysis of the cross-section of the bulk pellets revealed a hexagonal sheet structure. Large areas were observed of packages of hexagonal sheets where the separate hexagonal particles were ordered along the c axis. Sr3Co2Fe24O41 thick films were deposited from a suspension containing the Sr3Co2Fe24O41 powder. The microstructural analysis of the thick films showed that the particles had the perfect hexagonal shape typical for hexaferrites.

Synthesis of Calcium Aluminate-Based Luminophores by the Citrate Nitrate Sol–Gel Process
摘要: Microwave-assisted sol–gel process was used to synthesize calcium aluminate and luminescent materials based on it, which find wide use in the manufacture of construction materials, catalysts, optical emission sources, and display devices. The major processes involved in the formation of crystalline calcium aluminate were identified resorting to powder X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and IR spectroscopy data. Synthetic steps have moderate activation energies in the 44–260 kJ/mol range. Luminescence characteristics of the obtained crystal phosphors were measured. The increase in the synthesis temperature to 1200°C and the increase in the activator concentration to 5 mol % enhance the luminescence of the Eu3+-activated calcium aluminate-based luminophore. Further increase in the concentration of the activator ions leads to luminescence quenching caused by the concentration effect.

CaBi <sub/>4</sub> Ti <sub/>4</sub> O <sub/>15</sub> -based lead-free sol–gel composites for high-temperature application
摘要: CaBi4Ti4O15 (CBiT)-based lead-free sol–gel composites were developed for high-temperature ultrasonic transducer application. In this study, two types of lead-free sol–gel solution, Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 (BST) and Bi4Ti3O12 (BiT), were used for consistency to fabricate >50-μm-thick CBiT/BST and CBiT/BiT ?lms on 3-mm-thick titanium substrates by a sol–gel spray technique. BST and BiT were chosen because of their high dielectric constant and high Curie temperature, respectively, in addition to their being lead-free materials. A thermal cycle test was carried out between RT and 600 °C, and clear multiple echoes were con?rmed during three thermal cycles for both materials. In addition, the sensitivity of CBiT/BiT was higher than that of CBiT/BST although a higher poling temperature is required for CBiT/BiT. Therefore, an ultrasonic transducer potential for high-temperature application was successfully demonstrated. ? 2018 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

Morphological, spectroscopic and photocatalytic properties of Eu3+:TiO2 synthesized by solid-state and hydrothermal-assisted sol-gel processes
摘要: Eu3+ doped TiO2 powders were synthesized by solid-state reaction and hydrothermal-assisted sol-gel process. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and photoluminescence techniques. Both synthetic procedures yield the pure anatase phase of titania. The excitation and emission spectra and the decay profiles were measured for different thermal treatments of the samples, in order to investigate the effects of the synthesis conditions on the doping mechanism. The photocatalytic activity was investigated by measuring the degradation of methylene blue under UV light irradiation and a correlation between its efficiency and the luminescence performance has been proposed.

Synthesis, DFT studies, fabrication, and optical characterization of the [ZnCMC] <sup>TF</sup> polymer (organic/inorganic) as an optoelectronic device
摘要: A novel carboxymethyl cellulose zinc thin film [ZnCMC]TF was fabricated using the sol–gel technique. Different characterization techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and the optical properties were used to study the properties of [ZnCMC]TF. The molecular structure, FTIR, and optical properties were optimized. The Raman spectrum of the [ZnCMC]TF complex shows several bands in the range of 72–556 cm?1 due to (nZn–O) stretching and (Zn–O) bending, which is an obvious distinction between the FTIR and Raman spectra of [ZnCMC]TF. The optimization was performed using density functional theory (DFT) by DMol3 and Cambridge Serial Total Energy Package (CASTEP) program. The chemical structure was confirmed by spectroscopic and structural properties for both CMC and [ZnCMC]TF; the XRD results showed the same crystal structure (Monoclinic 2). [ZnCMC]TF has a larger grain size than CMC and has a similar behavior in the optical gap energy. The optical constants increased with increasing photon energy, refractive index n, absorption index k, and optical conductivity. The SEM images provide very good evidence in favor of the reaction of zinc transition metal with CMC for the formation of the [ZnCMC]TF complex. The resulting [CMC] spherical thin film and the [ZnCMC]TF polymeric nanorods were examined by different techniques including TEM and EDX. The optical properties obtained from the simulated FTIR, XRD, and CASTEP are in good agreement with those obtained from the experimental studies on CMC and ZnCMC. Based on the optical findings, [ZnCMC]TF is a promising candidate in applications such as solar cells and optoelectronic devices.

Suppression of Ag migration by low-temperature sol-gel zinc oxide in the Ag nanowires transparent electrode-based flexible perovskite solar cells
摘要: Silver nanowires (Ag NWs) network is an excellent candidate as flexible transparent electrode applying in flexible perovskite solar cells, owing to their excellent electrical and optical properties. However, several problems including large surface roughness, chemical reaction between Ag and perovskite precursor, and migration of Ag limited the application in high performance perovskite solar cells. Aiming to solve these problems, the composite electrode combining the spray coated Ag nanowires and the low-temperature sol-gel zinc oxide was developed in this work. The optimized concentration and annealing temperature of sol-gel ZnO were 0.45 M and 150°C. The introduction of zinc oxide with suitable concentration caused slight impact on the transmittance and sheet resistant of transparent composite electrode, and promoted mechanical and chemical stability in air relative to the pristine Ag NWs electrode. The use of the composite flexible electrode could decrease the surface roughness of the Ag NWs electrode, passivate the reaction of perovskite and silver electrode, and prevent the migration of Ag. As a consequence, the performance of the flexible device significantly improved from 9.51% to 13.12%. Under the AM 1.5G constant illumination, the optimization device has a remarkably improved stability than pristine device. This study demonstrates that spray Ag NWs as bottom electrode is suitable for flexible perovskite solar cells. Meanwhile, it’s an effective method using sol-gel ZnO to construct composite electrode to promote the device performance and stability.

Efficient N, Fe Co-Doped TiO2 Active under Cost-Effective Visible LED Light: From Powders to Films
摘要: An eco-friendly photocatalytic coating, active under a cost-effective near-visible LED system, was synthesized without any calcination step for the removal of organic pollutants. Three types of doping (Fe, N and Fe + N), with different dopant/Ti molar ratios, were investigated and compared with undoped TiO2 and the commercial P25 photocatalyst. Nano-crystalline anatase-brookite particles were successfully produced with the aqueous sol-gel process, also at a larger scale. All samples displayed a higher visible absorption and specific surface area than P25. Photoactivity of the catalyst powders was evaluated through the degradation of p-nitrophenol in water under visible light (>400 nm). As intended, all samples were more performant than P25. The N-doping, the Fe-doping and their combination promoted the activity under visible light. Films, coated on three different substrates, were then compared. Finally, the photoactivity of a film, produced from the optimal N-Fe co-doped colloid, was evaluated on the degradation of (i) p-nitrophenol under UV-A light (365 nm) and (ii) rhodamine B under LED visible light (395 nm), and compared to undoped TiO2 film. The higher enhancement is obtained under the longer wavelength (395 nm). The possibility of producing photocatalytic films without any calcination step and active under low-energy LED light constitutes a step forward for an industrial development.
