Surface Modifications for Light Trapping in Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells: A Brief Review
摘要： Reducing crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafer thickness is an effective method to reduce the fabrication cost as it constitutes a major portion of the photovoltaic module cost. However, the open-circuit voltage and fill factor depend on the wafer thickness; further, the short-circuit current density (JSC), affects the device performance negatively. Therefore, light trapping is vital for increasing the JSC of Si solar cells. Consequently, it is essential for improving the conversion efficiency of the solar cell and reduce its production cost by decreasing the wafer thickness. It can be assumed that the thickness of the Si wafer will gradually achieve a minimum value of ~ 100?μm in the future. Therefore, reducing the as-cut wafer thickness will result in a more efficient use of Si. This paper reports the surface modification for light trapping based on the Si solar cell application. Additionally, we introduce methods for surface modification, such as front-side texturing and rear-side polishing.

Laser printing of micro-electronic communication systems for smart implants applications
摘要： Endow the implant with intrinsic communication system between sensors and actuators or between implant and patient is a key factor for its long-term success. The capacity of early diagnosis of failures and the ability to remedy them are necessary to minimize expensive complications and reducing revision procedures. Ti6Al4V is the most used titanium alloy for implant’s fabrication. In this sense, this work presents a promising approach to print communication systems by using laser technology, aiming integrate the smart components on titanium implants. Laser has been employed as a versatile tool to modify the surface in different ways, such as texturing, oxidizing and sintering. Silver wires have been printed on Ti6Al4V surface in order to conduct electrical current. To minimize current loss for the substrate, titanium oxide layer has been produced by different methods (laser and anodization). Laser sintering (LS) has been also compared to a conventional method (Hot-pressing- HP) to consolidate the silver powder into the cavities. In comparison to the conventional techniques, laser demonstrated to be a competitive approach to oxidizing the surface and also for consolidating the micro-wires on Ti6Al4V surface. Consequently, the micro-wires printed by laser approach presented satisfactory results in terms of electrical resistance, actuating as the conductor path for electrical current, with values of 0.0131 Ω, which is similar to the resistance of the wire printed in an insulator substrate.

Surface modification of polyamide 12 angioplasty balloons by photochemical reaction with an aromatic azide
摘要： Polyamide 12 (PA12) is used in a variety of applications when low moisture absorption, good dimensional stability, and toughness are required. Polyamide 12 is one of the polymers most frequently employed to fabricate angioplasty balloon catheters; however, its high hydrophobicity and chemical inertness require the application of coatings to make its surface more hydrophilic and biocompatible. In this work, an alternative method, based on the photochemical reaction of PA12 with a hydrophilic aromatic azide, was developed. Static and dynamic contact angle measurements evidenced that the surface modification process was able to improve PA12 wettability and that the effects were retained even after 12 months from surface treatment. Polyamide 12 modification resulted in an increase of its surface free energy, as evaluated by the van Oss, Good, and Chaudhury method. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the presence of the aromatic azide on PA12 surface. Finally, compliance tests showed that the modification process did not reduce the mechanical performance of balloons.

Effect of surface modification and laser repetition rate on growth, structural, electronic and optical properties of GaN nanorods on flexible Ti metal foil
摘要： The effect of flexible Ti metal foil surface modification and laser repetition rate in laser molecular beam epitaxy growth process on the evolution of GaN nanorods and their structural, electronic and optical properties has been investigated. The GaN nanostructures were grown on bare- and pre-nitridated Ti foil substrates at 700 °C for different laser repetition rates (10–30 Hz). It is found that the low repetition rate (10 Hz) promotes sparse growth of three-dimensional inverted-cone like GaN nanostructures on pre-nitridated Ti surface whereas the entire Ti foil substrate is nearly covered with film-like GaN consisting of large-sized grains for 30 Hz growth. In case of the GaN growth at 20 Hz, uniformly-aligned, dense (～8 × 109 cm?2) GaN nanorods are successfully grown on pre-nitridated Ti foil whereas sparse vertical GaN nanorods have been obtained on bare Ti foil under similar growth conditions for both 20 and 30 Hz. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) has been utilized to elucidate the electronic structure of GaN nanorods grown under various experimental conditions on Ti foil. It confirms Ga–N bonding in the grown structures, and the calculated chemical composition turns out to be Ga rich for the GaN nanorods grown on pre-nitridated Ti foil. For bare Ti substrates, a preferred reaction between Ti and N is noticed as compared to Ga and N leading to sparse growth of GaN nanorods. Hence, the nitridation of Ti foil is a prerequisite to achieve the growth of dense and aligned GaN nanorod arrays. The X-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman studies revealed the c-axis growth of wurtzite GaN nanorods on Ti metal foil with good crystallinity and structural quality. The photoluminescence spectroscopy showed that the dense GaN nanorod possesses a near band edge emission at 3.42 eV with a full width at half maximum of 98 meV at room temperature. The density-controlled growth of GaN nanorods on a flexible substrate with high structural and optical quality holds promise for potential applications in futuristic flexible GaN based optoelectronics and sensor devices.

Enhanced Power Conversion Efficiency of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells by Band Edge Shift of TiO2 Photoanode
摘要： By simple soaking titanium dioxide (TiO2) films in an aqueous Na2S solution, we could prepare surface-modified photoanodes for application to dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). An improvement in both the open-circuit voltage (Voc) and the fill factor (FF) was observed in the DSSC with the 5 min-soaked photoanode, compared with those of the control cell without any modification. The UV–visible absorbance spectra, UPS valence band spectra, and dark current measurements revealed that the Na2S modification led to the formation of anions on the TiO2 surface, and thereby shifted the conduction band edge of TiO2 in the negative (upward) direction, inducing an increase of 29 mV in the Voc. It was also found that the increased FF value in the surface-treated device was attributed to an elevation in the shunt resistance.

Efficient planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells with enhanced FTO/SnO2 interface electronic coupling
摘要： Ultrathin and compact SnOx amorphous layers derived from SnCl4 were introduced at the interface of electron transport layer (ETL)/perovskite or FTO/ETL to enhance the electron coupling between layers, passivate the trapping defects and optimize the energy level alignment. As results of the increased interface electron collection and reduced interface recombination, the planer perovskite solar cell (PSC) with SnO2 nanocrystal (NC) ETL pre-treated by SnCl4 (Cl-SnO2) shows the power conversion efficiency (PCE) enhancement from 16.3% to 18.6%, and the device hysteresis has also been significantly restrained. In comparison, the planer PSCs with traditional SnCl4 (SnO2-Cl) post-treated SnO2 NC ETL makes the PCE increased from 16.3% to 17.3%. These results indicate that both two kinds of treated ways could improve the performance of the PSCs but compared with the post-treatment process, the devices based on Cl-SnO2 pre-treated ETL present superior performance, which is attributed to the closer contact and enhanced electron coupling between FTO and SnO2 NC ETL with Cl-SnO2 in between.

Improved performance of lead-tin mixed perovskite solar cells with PEDOT:PSS treated by hydroquinone
摘要： Low bandgap lead-tin (Pb-Sn) hybrid perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) have gained a great deal of attentions due to their wide optical absorption range and environmental friendliness. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is widely used as a hole transport layer for PVSCs. However, the metallic property of PEDOT:PSS causes a barrier at the interface between it and the active layer, thereby hindering the transport of photogenerated carriers. In this paper, in order to eliminate the influence of the interfacial barrier, the PEDOT:PSS surface was treated by hydroquinone (HQ), which lowers the hole transport barrier at the interface, and consequently reduces the interfacial resistance as well. The leakage current in the device with the HQ-treated PEDOT:PSS is significantly reduced, and the surface modification improves the interfacial contact. Compared with the Pb-Sn hybrid PVSCs with the PEDOT:PSS hole transport layer, the power conversion efficiency of PVSCs with the HQ-PEDOT:PSS hole transport layer is improved by 5.7%.

Multifunctional Two-Dimensional Core-Shell MXene@Gold Nanocomposites for Enhanced Photo-Radio Combined Therapy in the Second Biological Window
摘要： Multi-functional nanoplatforms with special advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer have been widely explored in nanomedicine. Herein, we synthesize two-dimensional core-shell nanocomposites (Ti3C2@Au) via a seed-growth method starting from the titanium carbide (Ti3C2) nanosheets, a classical type of MXene nanostructure. After growing gold on the surface of Ti3C2 nanosheets, the stability and biocompatibility of the nanocomposites are greatly improved by the thiol modification. And importantly, the optical absorption in the near infrared region (NIR) is enhanced. Utilizing the ability of the high optical absorbance and strong X-ray attenuation, the synthesized Ti3C2@Au nanocomposites are used for photoacoustic (PA) and computed tomography (CT) dual-modal imaging. Importantly, the mild photothermal effect of the Ti3C2@Au nanocomposites could improve the tumor oxygenation, which significantly enhances the radiotherapy (RT). None obvious long-term toxicity of the nanocomposites is found at the injected dose. This work highlights the promise of special properties of MXene-based multifunctional nanostructures for cancer theranostics.
