Fabrication and TCAD validation of ambient air-processed ZnO NRs/CH3NH3PbI3/spiro-OMeTAD solar cells
摘要： This paper reports the fabrication, characterization and simulation of hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in ambient condition. The proposed PSC structures use a CH3NH3PbI3 hybrid perovskite based active layer sandwiched between a ZnO nanorods (NRs) electron transport layer (ETL) and a spiro-OMeTAD (undoped and doped) hole transport layer (HTL). The ZnO NRs are grown using low-cost solvothermal process at relatively low temperature. The performance of fabricated PSCs are analyzed for both the undoped and doped (with TBP and LiTFSI) spiro-OMeTAD based HTLs. All the solar parameters namely, short circuit current density (JSC), open circuit voltage (VOC), fill factor (FF), power conversion efficiency (PCE) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) are calculated from experimentally measured current density versus voltage (J-V) and wavelength transient characteristics in ambient condition. The maximum PCE of 10.18% is obtained for the doped HTL whereas 9.51% for undoped HTL. The improved performance due to HTL doping is attributed to the enhanced charge transportation of the HTL. The experimental results obtained from the fabricated PSCs are also compared with the SetFosTM TCAD simulation data using drift-diffusion model. The simulated results are observed to be well matched to the experimental data.

A facile route of preparing nickel(II) oxide thin films for high-performance inverted perovskite solar cells
摘要： Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been very popular in the field of photovoltaics. In the inverted PSC structure, the hole transport layer deposited before perovskite photoactive layer plays a crucial role in power conversion efficiencies (PCE) and ambient stability of device. Here, we developed a facile method of preparing NiO hole transport layers aided by polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) for inverted perovskite solar cells. Compared with reported fabrication methods, this route has the advantages of simple, low temperature, and low-cost processing. The corresponding devices exhibited a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.78% and good stability. Various characterizations, XRD, Raman, AFM, SEM, PL etc were carried out to confirm the superior effect of the NiO film prepared by new method. We believe that this facile route will be a significant contribution for preparing high performance inverted perovskite solar cells.

The photon absorber and interconnecting layers in multijunction organic solar cell
摘要： Organic photovoltaic devices have long been considered as an important alternative for coal-based energy technologies due to their low-cost, lightweight and flexible nature. However, the power conversion efficiencies of such cells are limited by thermalization and transmission losses, which can be overcome by stacking multiple cells in a tandem configuration. This approach allows utilization of the wider spectrum of solar light, helping in attaining the theoretical limits for single cell efficiency (~30%). However, the performance of such tandem organic solar cells depends largely on several factors, including the proper design of absorber, sub-cells and interconnecting layer materials. In this review, recent studies on the development of different fullerene, non-fullerene, small molecule acceptor based active layers have been reported. Also, some recent works in the field of the inorganic-organic hybrid tandem cells have been briefly discussed. The purpose of this review is manifold: to provide the readers with a comprehensive overview of past, current research, recent developments, and open problems of tandem organic solar cells.

Effect of fluorine substituents on benzothiadiazole-based Da????a??Aa?2a????a??A photosensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： Two D–π–A0–π–A organic dyes with triazatruxene (TAT) as the electron donor, thiophene as the π-spacer, benzoic acid as the anchor group, and benzothiadiazole (BT) or difluorobenzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (DFBT) as the additional acceptor, namely LS101 and LS102, respectively, were applied to dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). As fluorine substituents are usually strong electron-withdrawing groups, introducing two fluorine atoms into BT was expected to strengthen the electron-withdrawing ability of the auxiliary acceptor, resulting in DSSCs with a broader light capture region and further improved power conversion efficiency (PCE). Fluorine is the smallest electron-withdrawing group with an induction effect, but can also act as an electron-donating group owing to its conjugation effect. When the conjugation effect is dominant, the electron-withdrawing ability of additional acceptor DFBT decreases instead. Accordingly, the band gap of LS102 was broadened and the UV-vis absorption spectrum was blue-shifted. In the end, DSSCs based on LS101 achieved a champion PCE of 10.2% (Jsc = 15.1 mA cm?2, Voc = 966 mV, FF = 70.1%) while that based on LS102 gave a PCE of only 8.6% (Jsc = 13.4 mA cm?2, Voc = 934 mV, FF = 69.1%) under standard AM 1.5G solar irradiation (100 mW cm?2) with Co2+/Co3+ as the electrolyte.

Efficient and Photostable Ternary Organic Solar Cells with a Narrow Bandgap Non-Fullerene Acceptor and Fullerene Additive
摘要： Recent breakthroughs in molecular design have allowed for remarkable achievement in the field of non-fullerene acceptor (NFA)-based organic solar cells (OSCs) with high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of over 15%. However, despite such promising advances, the inferior stability of OSCs under operational conditions remains a prominent challenge that must be overcome for their practical realization. Here, versatile ternary photoactive systems with simultaneously enhanced efficiency and photostability are developed by introducing a small amount of fullerene (PC71BM) into a narrow bandgap NFA-based bulk heterojunction nanocomposite (PTB7-Th:IEICO-4F); this approach leads to an enhanced PCE of 10.55% and a prolonged lifetime, retaining approximately 80% of the initial PCEs after 500 h of operation under continuous illumination. Based on the energy levels and surface energies of the component materials, cascade energetic alignment facilitates electron transfer without trapping. The PTB7-Th/PC71BM interface provides an energy barrier to suppress recombination between holes in PTB7-Th and electrons in IEICO-4F. Moreover, a small amount of PC71BM promotes favorable molecular packing and orientation of IEICO-4F, leading to enhanced electron mobility and balanced charge transport. The study on the transient absorption spectroscopy reveals that the ternary blend effectively suppresses the evolution of charge recombination.

Synthesis of a new wide-bandgap conjugated copolymer with 3-trifluoromethylthiophene monomer and Its application to non-fullerene polymer solar cells
摘要： In this study, a novel wide-bandgap conjugate donor-acceptor type copolymer, PBDT-TFMTh, containing benzodithiophene (BDT) as a donor unit and trifluoromethyl (TFM)-substituted thiophene (Th) as an acceptor unit was designed and synthesized. The physical, optical, and electrochemical properties of PBDT-TFMTh were studied in detail and it was found to have lower-lying highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals. The polymer solar cell with an active layer consisting of PBDT-TFMTh and acceptor IDT(TCV)2 showed a relatively high power conversion efficiency of 2.25% after thermal annealing at 120 (cid:1)C.

Effect of reduced graphene oxide addition on the performance of zinc oxide nanorod based dye-sensitized solar cell
摘要： As one of third generation photovoltaic device, dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) plays important part in search for new and renewable energy resources. As part of this device, dye has a very critical function due to its responsibility in absorbing the photon energy from the sunlight. The more light can be absorbed, the higher the value of photon to electricity conversion efficiency can be obtained. For increasing the absorption capacity of the dye, this work investigated the effect of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) addition into the dye solution with rGO to dye weight % ratio of 1:100; 3:100; and 5:100 respectively. On the basis of investigation, it was found that the ratio of 3:100 produced a higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) of about 0,02% as compared to the reference cells which displayed a value of 0,005%. It confirms that introducing rGO into the dye can enhance the DSSC performance, though several fabrication handling procedures still need to be improved as well.

Nonfullerene acceptors with an N-annulated perylene core and two perylene diimide units for efficient organic solar cells
摘要： We have designed and synthesized a series of perylene based A-D-A type chromophores, which are composed of two electron deficient perylene diimides (PDI) and one electron rich N-annulated perylene (NP). By virtue of the bi-axial rigid skeleton of the flat NP unit, the intermolecular aggregation is efficiently suppressed, leading to a very small red-shift of absorption being observed in going from solutions to films. In addition, the molar extinction coefficients have been significantly elevated in case of sulfur or selenium annulation at the bay positions of the PDI units. Quantum calculation is employed for the geometry optimization to further understand the contributions of different excitations to the UV-vis absorption spectra. Morphology studies demonstrate that the twisted conformations of these acceptors are favorable for the formation of suitable phase separation in the as-cast films. The heteroatom annulation could force the PDI plane to take on a more planar conformation, which is favorable to have closer π?π stacking for efficient electron transportation. Finally, the as-cast devices based on PBDB-T:NP-diPDI-Se display a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.25% with a Voc of 0.98 V, a Jsc of 11.73 mA/cm2 and an FF of 54.13%.

Historic Developments, Current Technologies and Potential of Nanotechnology to Develop Next Generation Solar Cells with Improved Efficiency
摘要： Sun is the continuous source of renewable energy, from where we can get abundant of solar energy. Concept of conversion of solar energy into heat was used back in 200 B.C. since then, the solar cells have been developed which can convert solar energy into the electrical energy and these systems have been produced commercially. The technologies to enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE) have been continuously improved. Different technologies used for developing solar cells can be categorized either on the basis of material used or techniques of technology development which is further termed as ‘first generation’ (e.g. crystalline silicon), ‘second generation’ (thin films of Amorphous silicon, Copper indium gallium selenide, Cadmium telluride), ‘Third generation’ (Concentrated, Organic and Dye sensitize solar cell). These technologies give PCE up to 25% depending on the technology and the materials used. Nanotechnology enables the use of nanomaterial whose size is below 100 nm with extraordinary properties which has the capability to enhance the PCE to greater extent. Various nanomaterials like quantum dots, quantum well, carbon nanotubes, nanowire and graphene have been used to make efficient and economical solar cells, which not only provide high conversion efficiency economically but also are easy to produce. Today, by using nanotechnology, conversion efficiency up to 44.7 % has been achieved by Fraunhofer Institute at Germany. In this review article, we have reviewed the literature including various patents and publications, summarized the history of solar cell development, development of different technologies and rationale of their development highlighting the advantages and challenges involved in their development for commercial purpose. We have also included the recent developments in solar cell research where different nanomaterials have been designed and used successfully to prove their superiority over conventional systems.
