Solution-processible Cd-doped ZnO nanoparticles as an electron transport layer to achieve high performance polymer solar cells through improve conductivity and light transmittance
摘要： In this work, electron transport layers (ETLs) with high charge transfer ability were prepared by doping ZnO nanoparticles with different concentrations of cadmium(Cd). The inverted polymer solar cell based on PTB7-Th: PC71BM as active layer and various concentrations Cd-doped ZnO (CZO) as ETLs were fabricated. The PCE of the device with optimized Cd content in the ZnO film was about 14.7% larger than that of the pure ZnO-based cells. The cadmium-doped ZnO(CZO) is a good candidate to be used as a high-quality transparent electrode in solar cell applications.

A perspective approach towards appreciable size and cost-effective solar cell fabrication by synthesizing ZnO nanoparticles from Azadirachta indica leaves extract using domestic microwave oven
摘要： A simple domestic microwave oven-assisted solvothermal method has been used successfully to synthesize spherical nanoparticles of zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) for solar cell fabrication using Azadirachta indica (Neem) leaves extract as both capping and reducing agent. The hexagonal structure of ZnO nanoparticles was confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction analysis. The Fourier-transform infrared spectrum confirms the presence of Zn–O stretching vibrations. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy images have exhibited the spherical morphology of ZnO nanoparticles which has clearly illustrated the average particle size around 4.2 nm. The selected area electron diffraction pattern contains well uniform rings confirming standard orientation. The maximum absorption wavelength for the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles was found to be more than 352 nm. The electrical measurement demonstrated that the values of dielectric constant and dielectric loss gradually decrease with increase in frequency which is described by the basis Maxwell–Wagner model. The ac conductivity of ZnO nanoparticles was also carried out. The solar cell fabrication of ZnO nanoparticles and photovoltaic devices were displayed. It was further confirmed that smaller size of ZnO nanoparticles was synthesized which had shown better cell efficiency.

Low Energy Pulsed Laser Excitation in UV Enhances the Gas Sensing Capacity of Photoluminescent ZnO Nanohybrids
摘要： Nanohybrids, composed of luminescent zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles dispersed in an inert polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix, exhibit an excellent ability to follow changes in the type and composition of their surrounding atmosphere. These changes are found to affect the UV photoluminescence (PL) emission of the ZnO-PDMS hybrids measured at room temperature. The influence of irradiation parameters, such as excitation intensity and wavelength, on the response of the ZnO-PDMS sensor against ethanol and oxygen, have been systematically investigated in a comparative study performed employing pulsed excitation at 248 and 355 nm. This study represents the first demonstration that the sensing performance of the PL-based ZnO sensors can be optimized by tuning the excitation parameters and it particularly illustrates that maintaining a low pump energy density is crucial for enhancing the sensitivity of the sensor achieving response values approaching 100%.

Electro-Optical and Dielectric Responses of ZnO Nanoparticles Doped Nematic Liquid Crystal in In-Plane Switching (IPS) Mode
摘要： In present work, electro-optical and dielectric characteristics of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) doped nematic liquid crystal mixture are studied in In-Plane Switching (IPS) mode. Effect of doping of ZnO nanoparticles on phase transition behaviour, threshold and operating voltage were studied. Polarising Optical Microscope (POM) study confirms a reduction in nematic to isotropic (N-I) phase transition temperature after doping of ZnO NPs. A decrease in threshold and operating voltages with better contrast ratio was observed. Further, a significant change in dielectric behaviour of NLC was also perceived in doped sample.

Synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles in polyvinyl alcohol solutions using laser assisted synthesis in solution (LASiS) method
摘要： ZnO nanoparticles are widely studied because of their superior properties so they are widely used in various applications. Structural modification with the right synthesis method is the key to getting superior properties. In this experiment, Laser Assisted Synthesis in Solution (LASiS) method was used to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles. The LASIS method was carried out using a metal plate Zn as a target placed in a solution of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with different concentrations, namely 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%. This laser ablation has caused a solution of gray colloidal ZnO nanoparticles. Different PVA concentrations do not affect the color of the produced ZnO nanoparticle solution. The properties and structure of ZnO nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Zetasizer spectrometer, and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The UV visible absorbance spectrum shows the maximum absorption characteristics of ZnO nanoparticles observed at a wavelength of 344 nm. The maximum absorbance value rises by increasing the concentration of PVA and reaching the maximum value at a concentration of 3%. These ZnO nanoparticles have a size around 80 nm. TEM analysis shows that ZnO nanoparticles have a spherical shape and have good crystallinity based on SAED measurements. This property is due to the role of PVA in the synthesis process.

[IEEE 2018 10th International Conference on Advanced Infocomm Technology (ICAIT) - Stockholm, Sweden (2018.8.12-2018.8.15)] 2018 10th International Conference on Advanced Infocomm Technology (ICAIT) - Mode-locked Fiber Laser Based on ZnO Nanoparticles as a Saturable Absorber
摘要： A mode-locked fiber laser based on ZnO nanoparticles as a saturable absorber is developed. ZnO nanoparticles deposited on a side-polished fiber function as a proper saturable absorber in the near infrared range. Mode-locking of pulses is verified through the Fourier transform analysis which characterizes the longitudinal modes of ring cavity. Stable optical pulses of less than 1-ns (resolution-limited) pulse-width are generated at 1064 nm.

Rapid synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles by waste thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.)
摘要： Synthesis of nanoparticles by utilizing microorganisms and plants in green methods is a feasible procedure. This method can be used instead of chemical procedures as an eco-friendly procedure. Antibacterial activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles as one of the best multifunctional nanoparticles is well known. In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were produced by waste thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) extract. SEM, XRD, UV–Vis, visual analysis and FTIR spectroscopic techniques were used for characterizing ZnO nanoparticles. The absorption of wavelengths of the UV–Vis in the region of 290–320 nm confirmed the formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles. The average size of ZnO nanoparticles was estimated 10–35 nm by SEM technique. An eco-friendly method for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles can be used in which the waste thyme extract is used as a stabilizing agent. Therefore, the use of waste thyme extract is an alternative to the chemical methods. Biological methods are rapid, green, economical and simple to perform.

Comparison of ZnO buffer layers prepared by spin coating or RF magnetron sputtering for application in inverted organic solar cells
摘要： We compared the electrical, optical, structural, and morphological properties of radio-frequency (RF) magnetron-sputtered ZnO and solution-processed ZnO nanoparticle (NP) buffer layers on ITO cathodes for use in inverted polymer solar cells (IPSCs). Continuous sputtering resulted in integration of the ZnO buffer layer in the ITO cathodes, which were then used as transparent cathodes for IPSCs. Although the electrical, optical, and morphological properties as well as work function of RF-sputtered ZnO film were similar to those of solution-processed ZnO NP film, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of IPSCs with an RF-sputtered ZnO buffer layer was much lower than that of IPSCs with a solution-processed ZnO NP buffer layer due to vertical phase segregation of the organic active layer. However, intentional bias sweeping of IPSCs with an RF-sputtered ZnO buffer layer improved performance due to diffusion of PC70BM through the PV-D4610 donor layer and formation of a suitable heterojunction structure. Based on transmission electron microscope examination and dark current-voltage curves, we suggest a possible mechanism to explain the difference in behavior of RF-sputtered ZnO and solution-processed ZnO NP buffer layers in IPSCs.

Synthesis, characterization and comparative studies of dual doped ZnO nanoparticles for photocatalytic applications
摘要： Pure and dual doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized via the wet chemical method. The synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, HR-SEM/EDS, HR-TEM, UV–Vis, PL, FT-IR, and FT-Raman spectral measurements. The prepared ZnO nanoparticles exhibit a hexagonal wurtzite structure and [Ce–La, La–Gd, Gd–Ce] rare earth dual doped ZnO nanoparticles was confirmed from the shift in XRD peaks position, cell parameter and also changes in the peaks intensity. HR-SEM/EDS and HR-TEM show spherical in shape with less agglomeration on the surface of all samples and the images are clearly revealed that the particle size ~ 40 nm (PZ), 14 nm (ZCL3), 16 nm (ZLG3) and 28 nm (ZGC3). UV–Vis spectra show a strong Ultraviolet region absorbance for ZCL3 sample with the low Energy band gap value of 2.81 eV. The presences of the functional group and molecular vibrations are characterized by employing the FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. From the PL spectra, it was found that the peak position of all samples produces a visible emission. The photocatalytic performance of the synthesized doped nanoparticles found to exhibit better degradation of MB dye under solar irradiation ZCL3 showed an increase in the photo catalytic decolorization efficiency. The bactericidal activity of dual doped ZnO nanoparticles was investigated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and compare with standard ampicillin. We observe that ZCL3 sample have excellent antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria (P. mirabilis) and the mean zone of inhibition ~ 20 mm.
