Role of hydrogen in modifying a-Si:H/c-Si interface passivation and band alignment for rear-emitter silicon heterojunction solar cells
摘要： Boosting the contact property of intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H(i)) film is pivotal to achieving high-efficiency silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells. Here, the microstructure of a-Si:H(i) film is modified with hydrogen dilution ratio using hot wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) for the application into rear-emitter SHJ solar cells. A higher hydrogen content associated with high valence band offset was found to decrease the fill factor FF for low dilution, while high interface defect densities related to epitaxial growth are responsible for the deterioration of both FF and open-circuit voltage VOC for high dilution. In particular, the most compact film prepared at a moderate dilution exhibits the most compact structure with most hydrogen located as isolated hydrogen rather than clustered hydrogen. Finally, high efficiency of SHJ solar cells up to 22.5% was yielded using the optimized a-Si:H(i) layer thanks to a significant enhancement of FF, which is attributed to improved passivation quality and rational band alignment at the a-Si:H(i)/c-Si interface. This work clearly interpreted the correlation between SHJ device parameters and a-Si:H(i)/c-Si interface properties, which might guide the design of a-Si:H passivation layers in pursuit of high-efficiency SHJ solar cells.

Synergistic Cascade Carrier Extraction via Dual Interfacial Positioning of Ambipolar Black Phosphorene for Higha??Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： 2D black phosphorene (BP) carries a stellar set of physical properties such as conveniently tunable bandgap and extremely high ambipolar carrier mobility for optoelectronic devices. Herein, the judicious design and positioning of BP with tailored thickness as dual-functional nanomaterials to concurrently enhance carrier extraction at both electron transport layer/perovskite and perovskite/hole transport layer interfaces for high-efficiency and stable perovskite solar cells is reported. The synergy of favorable band energy alignment and concerted cascade interfacial carrier extraction, rendered by concurrent positioning of BP, delivered a progressively enhanced power conversion efficiency of 19.83% from 16.95% (BP-free). Investigation into interfacial engineering further reveals enhanced light absorption and reduced trap density for improved photovoltaic performance with BP incorporation. This work demonstrates the appealing characteristic of rational implementation of BP as dual-functional transport material for a diversity of optoelectronic devices, including photodetectors, sensors, light-emitting diodes, etc.

Engineering of Electron Extraction and Defects Passivation via Anion Doped Conductive Fullerene Derivatives as Interlayers for Efficient Invert Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： The major limitation of organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells performance is the existence of numerous charged defects at the absorption layer surface, which caused charge carrier recombine depravation. These defects have remarkable influence on the charge extraction, which further caused the instability of device and induce severe hysteresis. Here, three low-cost anion-doping conductive fullerene derivatives, fullerene bis(phenethyl alcohol) malonate (FMPE-I), fullerene bis(ethylenediamine) malonamide (FEDA-I), and fullerene bis(propanediamine) malonamide (FPDA-I), are developed for the first time as interfacial layers between a perovskite and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) in planar invert perovskite solar cells under mild solution fabrication. The constituent Lewis basic halides and the specific amide groups of conductive fullerene derivatives efficaciously heighten the chemical interaction between the perovskite and conductive fullerene derivatives since the iodide can combine with under-coordinated Pb2+ by electrostatic interaction and amide group can facilely combined with I by hydrogen bonding, improving the dual-passivation of perovskite defects. Moreover, due to the well-matched energy level of conductive fullerene derivatives and the high conductivity of the perovskite/interlayer film, the electron extraction capacity can be effectively enhanced. Consequently, superior optoelectronic properties are achieved with an improved power conversion efficiency of 17.63%, which is considerably higher than that of the bare PCBM based devices (14.96%), for the perovskite device with conductive interlayer treatment along with a negligible hysteresis. Moreover, hydrophobic conductive fullerene derivatives improve the resistance of device to moisture. The conductive fullerene derivative-based devices without encapsulation are maintained at 85% of the pristine power conversion efficiency value after storage in ambient conditions (25 oC temperature, 60% humidity) for 500h.

Optimized sample addressing in prism-coupled surface plasmon resonance experiments
摘要： In this work we study the walk-off of the beam from the interrogation spot during rotation in surface plasmon resonance experiments using prism-based coupling such as the widespread Kretschmann configuration. The impossibility of maintaining a stationary footprint on the sensing surface with a fixed rotation axis can be of high importance. This would be specially so if samples are not homogeneous such as in arrays for multiplexing. By theoretically analyzing the behavior of the walk-off during rotation around an arbitrary fixed axis, we find an optimal and simple configuration to minimize this effect. The proposed setup is experimentally tested to verify the results and to show its ease of implementation. Interestingly, the conclusions reached may also be applied to other techniques employing reflection prisms.

Alignment of Lyotropic Liquid Crystalline Conjugated Polymers in Floating Films
摘要： Directed alignment of polymer chains plays an indispensable role in charge transport properties. We focus not only on a specific method to induce the alignment but also on the design of a liquid crystalline (LC) conjugated polymer to take advantage of an intrinsic self-assembly characteristic. We synthesized a lyotropic LC conjugated polymer, CP1-P, having o-nitrobenzyl (ONB) esters as photocleavable side chains and adopted a floating film transfer method to induce the polymer chain alignment through a lyotropic LC phase transition. An optimum amount of a high boiling point solvent (1,2-dichlorobenzene) in chloroform turned out to be an important factor to maximize the polymer chain alignment. The hole transport mobility along the polymer chain alignment direction was 13?14 times higher than that in the direction perpendicular to the alignment. In addition, the removal of side chains resulted in the solvent resistivity while maintaining the alignment feature in organic thin-film transistors.

In Situ SiO <sub/>2</sub> Passivation of Epitaxial (100) and (110)InGaAs by Exploiting TaSiO <sub/><i>x</i> </sub> Atomic Layer Deposition Process
摘要： In this work, an in situ SiO2 passivation technique using atomic layer deposition (ALD) during the growth of gate dielectric TaSiOx on solid-source molecular beam epitaxy grown (100)InxGa1?xAs and (110)InxGa1?xAs on InP substrates is reported. X-ray reciprocal space mapping demonstrated quasi-lattice matched InxGa1?xAs epitaxy on crystallographically oriented InP substrates. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy revealed sharp heterointerfaces between ALD TaSiOx and (100) and (110)InxGa1?xAs epilayers, wherein the presence of a consistent growth of an ～0.8 nm intentionally formed SiO2 interfacial passivating layer (IPL) is also observed on each of (100) and (110)InxGa1?xAs. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed the incorporation of SiO2 in the composite TaSiOx, and valence band offset (ΔEV) values for TaSiOx relative to (100) and (110)InxGa1?xAs orientations of 2.52 ± 0.05 and 2.65 ± 0.05 eV, respectively, were extracted. The conduction band offset (ΔEC) was calculated to be 1.3 ± 0.1 eV for (100)InxGa1?xAs and 1.43 ± 0.1 eV for (110)InxGa1?xAs, using TaSiOx band gap values of 4.60 and 4.82 eV, respectively, determined from the fitted O 1s XPS loss spectra, and the literature-reported composition-dependent InxGa1?xAs band gap. The in situ passivation of InxGa1?xAs using SiO2 IPL during ALD of TaSiOx and the relatively large ΔEV and ΔEC values reported in this work are expected to aid in the future development of thermodynamically stable high-κ gate dielectrics on InxGa1?xAs with reduced gate leakage, particularly under low-power device operation.

Role of CdSe and CdSe@ZnS quantum dots interlayers conjugated in inverted polymer solar cells
摘要： We demonstrate the use of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) as an interlayer for improving photovoltaic performance in the inverted polymer solar cells (iPSCs). The conjugation of CdSe and CdSe@ZnS core@shell QDs between polyethylenimine ethoxylated (PEIE) polymer and PTB7:PC71BM blended layer played an important role in increasing the short circuit current density by F€orster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and efficient charge transport. The drastic mutual photoluminescence quenching suggests that the photon energy absorbed by PTB7:PC71BM are effectively transferred to the QDs. The PTB7:PC71BM based iPSCs with the CdSe QDs interlayer exhibits higher power conversion efficiency of 8.13%, which is 13.4% higher than that of the control device. The iPSCs with CdSe@ZnS QDs interlayer showed relatively lower PCE of 7.31%, which could be due to an increase in carrier recombination inside QDs by relatively high energy level of ZnS shell. As a consequence, the enhanced photovoltaic performance of iPSCs with CdSe QDs interlayer can be attributed to an effective charge transport and an increase in the overall photocurrent by FRET.

Building a high quality photogate
摘要： In this paper we present a method to construct a simple, sturdy and inexpensive photogate to be used in elementary physics laboratories. The great advantage of the proposed design is that it has no transmitter-receiver alignment related problem at all and the receiver is nicely encapsulated which prevents any spurious light triggering the photogate electrical circuit. The design can be easily modified to build larger photogates than those currently on the market.

Ternary Hierarchical Cu <sub/>7</sub> S <sub/>4</sub> /TiO <sub/>2</sub> /CoCr-LDH Heterostructured Nanorod Arrays with Multiphase Reaction Interfaces for More Efficient Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting
摘要： Fabricating hierarchical and highly matched heterostructure with large surface areas and multiple interfaces is an effective approach to enhancing the photoelectrochemical performance. Here, well-aligned hierarchical Cu7S4/TiO2/CoCr-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanorod arrays are reported, aiming at accelerating charge separation and transfer kinetics. The modifications of Cu7S4 and CoCr-LDH based on TiO2 have endowed the photoanode a surprising enhancement in both ultraviolet light absorption and charge separation efficiency due to highly matched band alignment. The formation of heterojunction is an effective strategy to prevent photocorrosion of Cu7S4 by attaching protective layers on Cu7S4. Moreover, other than the hierarchical morphology with enlarged active surface areas would provide sufficient active sites for the water oxidation processes and pore channels for the gas escaping, owing to the special band alignment of three components, multiple reaction interfaces are produced and involved in the water splitting process, since the photoinduced holes for water oxidation are simultaneously distributed in CoCr-LDH and Cu7S4. As expected, this synergistic effect in this ternary Cu7S4/TiO2/CoCr-LDH heterogeneous photoanode gives rise to a largely enhanced photoconversion efficiency (0.58% at 0.6 V) and photocurrent density (2.04 mA cm?2 at 1.23 V).
