An inverted ZnO/P3HT:PbS bulk-heterojunction hybrid solar cell with a CdSe quantum dot interface buffer layer
摘要: An inverted bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) hybrid solar cell having the structure ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PbS/Au was prepared under ambient conditions and the device performance was further enhanced by inserting an interface buffer layer of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) between the ZnO and the P3HT:PbS BHJ active layer. The device performance was optimized by controlling the size of the CdSe QDs and the buffer layer thickness. The buffer layer, with an optimum thickness and QD size, has been found to promote charge leading to an increased open-circuit voltage (VOC), extraction and reduces interface recombinations, short circuit current density (JSC), fill factor (FF) and power conversion efficiency (PCE). About 40% increase in PCE from 1.7% to 2.4% was achieved by the introduction of the CdSe QD buffer layer, whose major contribution comes from a 20% increase of VOC.

Facile synthesis of Cr doped hierarchical ZnO nano-structures for enhanced photovoltaic performance
摘要: Transition metal doped ZnO has been widely used in various research areas such as optoelectronics, chemical sensors, solar cells and photo catalysts. Herein, we fabricated Cr-doped ZnO nanospheres by a facile solvothermal treatment for enhanced photovoltaic performance. A systematic study of the structural and optical properties of Cr doped ZnO were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), Ultra violet-Visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis) respectively. XRD patterns confirm that the samples have hexagonal (wurtzite) structure with no additional peaks, which suggests that Cr ions replaces the regular Zn sites in the ZnO crystal structure. Furthermore, doped ZnO nanospheres were employed in the hybrid solar cells in combination with P3HT and gave better current densities than their corresponding undoped counterparts. The increase in solar cell efficiency of doped ZnO nanospheres is solely due to the improvement in the charge separation efficiency in the 4% Cr doped ZnO nanospheres. Optoelectronic analysis of the Cr doped ZnO hybrid solar cell showed comparable results of JSC ?3.7 (mAcm?2), VOC 0.44 (V), Fill Factor 0.49 and Efficiency (?) 0.79 (%). The enhanced photovoltaic activity of the Cr doped hierarchical ZnO nanostructures provides an interesting grounds for the design and enhancement of the low cost, feasible synthesis of photovoltaic nanostructure materials.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Chicago, IL, USA (2019.6.16-2019.6.21)] 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Evaluation of Perovskite Hole Selective Contacts for Silicon Solar Cells
摘要: we investigate the potential and stability of perovskite(MaPbI3) as the hole-selective contact materials for silicon solar cells because perovskite has excellent carrier transport properties for both electrons and holes. We have overcome the problem of forming a continuous perovskite thin film on silicon due to low surface energy by engineering the silicon surface roughness and native oxide. As a result, the short-circuit current density (Jsc) of the device with the perovskite layer increases by 0.6mA/cm2 from 27.73 to 28.32 mA/cm2 and the open-circuit voltage (Voc) increases by 5mV from 517.36 to 512.50 mV, reaching a power conversion efficiency of 10.53%. The solar cell with the perovskite(MaPbI3) hole selective layer exhibits better performance than the reference counterpart. Future work will be focused on tuning the composition of the PbBr2 and PbI2 to modify the work function and enlarge the hole selectivity.

Enhanced efficiency of CdS/P3HT hybrid solar cells via interfacial modification
摘要: The present paper examines the effects of surface modification of CdS with diverse dyes on fabricated CdS-based hybrid solar cells. The X-ray diffraction results showed that CdS thin films had a hexagonal phase with a preferred orientation along the (101) plane. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that the CdS specimen was composed of a granular structure while a P3HT layer was formed from tiny grains. Band gaps of the CdS thin films and the P3HT layer were 2.45 eV and 1.98 eV, respectively. The absorption spectra showed that different dye loading caused an increase in the absorbance of CdS thin films in the wavelength range of 400–650 nm. The photoluminescence of the CdS/P3HT structure including various dyes was lower than that of the pristine one, implying that efficient charge separation was achieved upon surface modification. Current density–voltage curves showed that the ITO/CdS/N719/Ag hybrid solar cell exhibited the best overall efficiency of 0.082%, which can be attributed to improvements in both short circuit current density (J sc) and open circuit voltage (V oc) . These enhancements can be attributed to the creation of better interfacial contact between CdS and P3HT layers after dye loading.

Hybrid Solar Cells with a Sunlight Concentrator System
摘要: Hybrid solar cells based on InGaP/Ga(In)As/Ge multijunction structures integrated into crystalline Si heat-removal base and provided with sunlight concentrator system based on linear Fresnel lenses and carboplastic mount structure have been developed and investigated. The hybrid solar cells with sunlight concentrators in the photovoltaic module provide a specific electric power of 390 W/m2 (AM0, 1367 W/m2) at a photoconverter unit specific weight reduced to 1.0 kg/m2. Improved photovoltaic characteristics and high radiation resistance allow using the proposed hybrid solar modules with sunlight concentrators in space solar batteries and autonomous power supply facilities.

Near 5% DMSO is the best: A structural investigation of PEDOT: PSS thin films with strong emphasis on surface and interface for hybrid solar cell
摘要: Effect of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) doping on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) thin films have been optimized for obtaining better hole transport layer in hybrid solar cell. The correlation between morphology and conductivity is established through atomic force microscopy and transmission length method measurements. On the other hand, change in the shape of the building blocks (from spheroidal-like to ellipsoidal-like) in the PEDOT:PSS films with DMSO concentration is apparent from their electron density profiles and topographies, suggesting possible conformational change (from coil-like to rod-like) in film by X-ray reflectivity. Such change is further evident from their compositional profiles, work functions and electronic band structures estimated from X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopies. In fact, complementary information suggest that near 5% DMSO doped PEDOT:PSS film is governed through maximum in-plane extended ellipsoidal-like blocks as well as well organized in out-of-plane ordering which is likely to be the optimum structure for increased the highest electrical conductivity up to 1230 S/cm. Finally, maximum power conversion efficiency of 11 % with open-circuit voltages around 600 mV, a short-circuit current density higher than 30 mA/cm2 and a fill factor of 59.4% is achieved for the 5% DMSO doped PEDOT:PSS/n-Si hybrid solar cell, which is perfectly correlated with their structure.

High-performance and -stability graphene quantum dots-mixed conducting polymer/porous Si hybrid solar cells with titanium oxide passivation layer
摘要: Recently, conducting polymer/Si hybrid solar cells (HSCs) based on simple fabrication processes are highly attractive due to their low cost, but low conductivity of the polymer, high reflection index of Si, and large recombination loss on the Si back contact are major drawbacks that should be solved for the practical applications. Here, we first report HSCs composed of graphene quantum dots (GQDs)-mixed poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT:GQDs)/porous Si (PSi)/n-Si/titanium oxide (TiOx, back passivation layer). Maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10.49 % is obtained from the HSCs at an active area of 5 mm2, resulting from the enhanced conductivity of the PEDOT:GQDs, the reduced reflectivity of Si (the increased absorption) by the formation of PSi, and the prevented recombination loss at the Si backside due to the passivation. In addition, the HSCs of 16 mm2 active area maintain ~78 % (absolutely from 8.03 to 6.28 %) of the initial PCE even while kept under ambient conditions for 15 days.
