Unraveling the electrical properties of solution-processed copper iodide thin films for CuI/n-Si solar cells
摘要： The effects of temperature and liquid-phase iodination on the electrical property of spin coated CuI thin films have been investigated in details. The XRD study indicates that CuI thin films are polycrystalline in nature and I-doping enhances the crystal quality and size of the films. The SEM images show that the surface uniformity of the CuI thin films increases due to I-doping. The doping of iodine increases the conductivity as well as carrier concentration and mobility of the films as confirmed by Hall study. The temperature dependent resistivity of CuI film shows a sharp fall of resistivity at ~80 °C for un-doped films whereas this behavior disappears for I-doped films. The optical transmittance and band gap of the I-doped films also increases indicating high degeneracy of the films. These findings imply that I-doped spin coated CuI thin films are potential candidate for the solution-processed CuI/n-Si solar cells.

Two-dimensional beta-lead oxide quantum dots
摘要： In recent years, black-phosphorus-analogue (BPA) two-dimensional (2D) materials have been explored to demonstrate promising optoelectronic performances and distinguished ambient stabilities, holding great promise in practical applications. Here, one new kind of BPA material, orthorhombic β-PbO quantum dots (QDs), is successfully fabricated by a facile liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) technique. The as-prepared β-PbO QDs show a homogeneous distribution of the lateral size (3.2 ± 0.9 nm) and thickness (2.5 ± 0.5 nm), corresponding to 4 ± 1 layers. The carrier dynamics of β-PbO QDs was systematically investigated via a femtosecond resolution transient absorption approach in the visible wavelength regime and it was clarified that two decay components were resolved with a decay time of τ1 = 2.3 ± 0.3 ps and τ2 = 87.9 ± 6.0 ps, respectively, providing important insights into their potential applications in the field of ultrafast optics, nanomechanics and optoelectronics. As a proof-of-concept, β-PbO QDs were, for the first time to our knowledge, fabricated as a working electrode in a photoelectrochemical (PEC)-typed photodetector that exhibits significantly high photocurrent density and excellent stability under ambient conditions.

Assessment of Bulk and Interface Quality for Liquid Phase Crystallized Silicon on Glass
摘要： This paper reports on the electrical quality of liquid phase crystallized silicon (LPC-Si) on glass for thin-film solar cell applications. Spatially resolved methods such as light beam induced current (LBIC), microwave photoconductance decay (MWPCD) mapping, and electron backscatter diffraction were used to access the overall material quality, intra-grain quality, surface passivation, and grain boundary (GB) properties. LBIC line scans across GBs were fitted with a model to characterize the recombination behavior of GBs. According to MWPCD measurement, intra-grain bulk carrier lifetimes were estimated to be larger than 4.5 μs for n-type LPC-Si with a doping concentration in the order of 1016 cm?3. Low-angle GBs were found to be strongly recombination active and identified as highly defect-rich regions which spatially extend over a range of 40–60 μm and show a diffusion length of 0.4 μm. Based on absorber quality characterization, the influence of intra-grain quality, heterojunction interface, and GBs/dislocations on the cell performance were separately clarified based on two-dimensional (2-D)-device simulation and a diode model. High back surface recombination velocities of several 105 cm/s are needed to get the best match between simulated and measured open circuit voltage (Voc), indicating back surface passivation problem. The results showed that Voc losses are not only because of poor back surface passivation but also because of crystal defects such as GBs and dislocation.

All-Thin-Film Tandem Cells Based on Liquid Phase Crystallized Silicon and Perovskites
摘要： Combining the emerging perovskite solar cell technology with existing silicon approaches in a tandem cell design offers the possibility for new low-cost high-performance devices. In this study, the potential of liquid phase crystallized silicon (LPC-Si) solar cells as a bottom cell in an all-thin-film tandem device is investigated. By optimizing the current output of a four terminal tandem using optical simulations and state-of-the-art electrical properties of the top and bottom cells, we show that an efficiency of 23.3% can be reached, where 7.2% are attributed to the LPC-Si bottom cell. Including the potential of future developments of both sub cells, efficiencies of over 28% are estimated. Electrical and optical measurements of the bottom cell are performed by attaching a perovskite and a cutoff filter to the front side of the interdigitated back contacted LPC-Si cells. The measurements using a cutoff filter show a high impact of the filtered incident light spectrum on the open circuit voltage of the LPC-Si cell. A comparison of the simulated and measured absorptance shows that especially the optical properties of the transparent conductive oxides and recombination losses in the LPC-Si cause high current losses. Combining the measured data of the filtered LPC-Si cells and the semitransparent perovskite cells, yields a realistic estimation for the efficiency of a state-of-the-art four-terminal tandem device of 19.3%.

Light management in crystalline silicon thin-film solar cells with imprint-textured glass superstrate
摘要： The implementation of light management textures in thin-film solar cells often simultaneously causes an undesired deterioration of electronic performance. Here, we introduce a simple yet effective technique for improved light management in liquid phase crystallized silicon thin-film solar cells on glass. By imprinting pyramidal textures on the sun-facing side of the glass superstrate, absorber and functional layers of the device remain unaffected while light in-coupling is significantly increased. An increase of short-circuit current density by 2.5 mA cm2 was observed by texturing the glass in this way, corresponding to an enhanced power conversion efficiency from 12.9% to 13.8%. Optical simulations allow to attribute the increase in equal shares to an anti-reflective effect at the air-glass interface as well as light scattering and multiple passes through the glass. The technology allows for independent optimization of optical performance without compromising on electronic material issues and is therefore useable for any other solar cell technology using a glass superstrate.

Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Few-Layer Exfoliated SnSe Nanosheets
摘要： Monochalcogenides of group IV elements have been considered as phosphorene analogs due to their similar crystal and electronic structure. Here, few-layer SnSe nanosheets are synthesized by a sonication-assisted liquid phase exfoliation process and their linear and nonlinear optical properties are examined. The as-exfoliated few-layer (FL) SnSe demonstrates layer thickness from 2 to 10 nm and lateral size of 150 nm with high crystallinity. Optical measurement confirms the layer-number dependent bandgap, which is also corroborated by first-principle calculation. In addition, the FL SnSe shows a transition from saturable absorption to reverse saturable absorption with the increase of pumping power, and the nonlinear absorption is characterized by an ultrafast response time of picosecond scale. The nonlinear optical response in FL SnSe could be explained by defect-involved recombination of photogenerated carriers as well as the Auger scattering process, which is further enhanced by structural two-dimensionality.

Ultrathin GeSe Nanosheets: from Systematic Synthesis, to Studies of Carrier Dynamics and Applications for High Performance UV-Vis Photo-Detector
摘要： Owing to the attractive energy band properties, black phosphorus (BP)-analogue semiconductor, germanium selenide (GeSe), shows a promising potential applied for optoelectronic devices. Herein, ultrathin GeSe nanosheets were systematically prepared via a facile liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) approach, with controllable nano-scale thickness. Different from BP, ultrathin GeSe nanosheets exhibits a good stability under both liquid and ambient conditions. Besides, its ultrafast carrier dynamics was probed by transient absorption spectroscopy. We showed that the GeSe nanosheets-based photo-detector exhibits excellent photoresponse behaviors ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to the visible regime, with high responsivity and low dark current. Furthermore, the detective ability of such a device can be effectively modulated by varying the applied bias potential, light intensity and concentration of electrolyte. Generally, our present contribution could not only supply fundamental knowledge of GeSe nanosheets-based photoelectrochemical (PEC)-type device, but also offer a guidance to extend other possible semiconductor materials in the application of PEC-type photo-detector.

Rapid liquid-phase microextraction of analytes from complex samples on superwetting porous silicon for onsite SALDI-MS analysis
摘要： To simplify the pretreatment process of complex samples is a key step for rapid detection. Herein, we report a single-step method to rapidly extract analytes with liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) from complex samples on a superwetting porous silicon (PSi) for onsite detection with surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS). The operation time is less than 3 min with this simple method. The limit of detection (LOD) of malachite green in lake water is lowered to 10-13 M, that of verapamil and methadone in whole blood is down to 10-11 M and 10-13 M, in urine is 10-13 M and 10-14 M, respectively; and the ranges of quantification is up to 8 or 9 orders of magnitude with high precision (coefficients of determination (R2) > 0.98) for the complex samples. This method could provide an approach to directly extract target compounds from complex samples on substrate for SALDI-MS analysis.
