Improving Low Bandgap Tin Lead Perovskite Solar Cells via Contact Engineering and Gas Quench Processing
摘要： Low bandgap Sn/Pb ABX3 perovskites have reached photovoltaic power conversion efficiencies >20%, but usually have poor stability due to the common use of acidic PEDOT:PSS hole transport layers and A-site cation compositions containing methylammonium (MA). Here, we develop a process to enable high quality MA-free Sn/Pb perovskite films grown using a gas quenching process instead of the conventional antisolvents, which provides improved control of the film growth and eliminates wrinkling. Using this method in a device structure with PTAA instead of PEDOT:PSS as the hole transport layer, devices can reach efficiencies up to 20%mppt at 0.06 cm2 and up to 17.5%mppt at 1 cm2 active area. With these improvements, the devices are characterized for thermal stability and show 80% of the initial power remaining after 4000 hours at 85°C.

Epsilon-near-zero medium for optical switches in Ho solid-state laser at 2.06????m
摘要： Indium tin oxide (ITO), an epsilon-near-zero material in the low-dimensional family, was successfully fabricated and first used as an optical switcher in 2.06 μm. In the Tm:fiber pumped passively Q-switched laser, a maximum average output power of 312 mW was obtained with a shortest pulse width of 2.42 μs and a repetition rate of 20.53 kHz, corresponding to a single pulse energy and a peak power of 15.20 μJ and 6.28 W, respectively. Results suggest that ITO is looking forward to develop into a kind of suitable saturable absorber for generation of nanosecond pulse in solid state lasers.

Novel ethanol vapor annealing treatment of SnO2 quantum dots film for highly efficient planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells
摘要： As a promising electron transport layer (ETL) material, tin oxide (SnO2) has been widely used for high-quality perovskite solar cells (PSCs). To further raise power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the PSCs, it is critical to improve the performance of SnO2 film. Herein, a facile method is proposed to tailor the properties of SnO2 ETL by treating it with ethanol vapor during the annealing process. With such treatment, the conductivity and electron mobility of SnO2 film are improved. More impressively, the absorption peak in intensity of the perovskite film deposited on the ethanol vapor-treated SnO2 (E: SO) shows an increase, and the defect states are also effectively passivated. Thus, the VOC and FF of the devices based on the E: SO are greatly improved. Finally, the device achieves a champion PCE of 17.66%, which is superior to the control device of 16.62%. The results demonstrate that ethanol vapor annealing treatment is an effective method for improving the performance of photovoltaic devices based on SnO2 ETL.

Photoinduced Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer in Supramolecular Sn <sup>IV</sup> Di( <scp>l</scp> -tyrosinato) Porphyrin Conjugates
摘要： Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) plays a key role in many biological processes, and a thorough comprehension of its subtle mechanistic complexity requires the synthesis and characterization of suitable artificial systems capable of mimicking this fundamental, elementary step. Herein, we report on a detailed photophysical investigation of conjugate 1, based on a tin(IV) tetraphenylporphyrin (SnTPP) chromophore bound to two L-tyrosinato amino acids, in CH2Cl2 in combination with organic bases of different strength and the preparation of a novel conjugate 3, based on a tin(IV) octaethylporphyrin (SnOEP) in place of the tetraphenyl analogue, and its photophysical characterization in CH2Cl2 in the presence of pyrrolidine. In the case of compound 1 with all bases examined, quenching of both the singlet and triplet excited states is observed and attributed to the occurrence of concerted proton?electron transfer (CPET). Rates and quenching yields decrease with the strength of the base used, consistent with the decrease of the driving force for the CPET process. Conjugate 3 with pyrrolidine is quenched only at the triplet level by CPET, albeit with slower rates than its parent compound 1, ascribable to the smaller driving force as a result of SnOEP being more difficult to reduce than SnTPP. For both systems, the quenching mechanism is confirmed by suitable blank experiments, specific kinetic treatments, and the observation of kinetic isotope effects (KIEs). Differently from what has been previously proposed, a detailed reinvestigation of the triplet quenching of 1 with pyrrolidine shows that no long-lived radical pair state is formed, as diradical recombination is always faster than formation. This is true for both 1 and 3 and for all bases examined. The kinetics of the CPET pathways can be well described according to Marcus theory and point toward the involvement of substantial reorganization energy as typically observed for PCET processes of concerted nature.

Development of Hybrid Pseudohalide Tin Perovskites for Highly Stable Carbon-Electrode Solar Cells
摘要： Tin-based perovskites degrade rapidly upon interaction with water and oxygen in air because Sn–I bonds are weak. To address this issue, we developed novel tin perovskites, FASnI(3-x)(SCN)x (x = 0, 1, 2 or 3), employing a pseudohalide, thiocyanate (SCN?), as a replacement for halides and as an inhibitor to suppress the Sn2+/Sn4+ oxidation. The structural and electronic properties of pseudohalide tin perovskites in this series were explored with quantum-chemical calculations employing the plane-wave density-functional-theory (DFT) method; the corresponding results are consistent with the experimental results. Carbon-based perovskite devices fabricated with tin perovskite FASnI(SCN)2 showed about a three-fold enhancement of the device efficiency (2.4 %) relative to the best FASnI3-based device (0.9 %), which we attribute to improved suppression of formation of Sn4+, retarded charge recombination, enhanced hydrophobicity and stronger interactions between Sn and thiocyanate for FASnI(SCN)2 than for FASnI3. After incorporation of phenylethyleneammonium iodide (PEAI, 10 %) and ethylenediammonium diiodide (EDAI2, 5 %) as co-additives, the FASnI(SCN)2 device gave the best photovoltaic performance with JSC/mA cm–2 = 20.17, VOC/mV = 322, FF = 0.574 and overall efficiency of power conversion PCE = 3.7 %. Moreover, these pseudohalide-containing devices display negligible photocurrent–voltage hysteresis and great stability in ambient air conditions.

Oxygen Vacancies Enabled Porous SnO <sub/>2</sub> Thin Films for Highly Sensitive Detection of Triethylamine at Room Temperature
摘要： Detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at room temperature (RT) currently remains a challenge for metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors. Herein, we for the first time report on the utilization of porous SnO2 thin films for RT detection of VOCs by defect engineering of oxygen vacancies. The oxygen vacancies in the three-dimensional ordered SnO2 thin films, prepared by a colloidal template method, can be readily manipulated by thermal annealing at different temperatures. It is found that oxygen vacancies play an important role in the RT sensing performances, which successfully enables the sensor to respond to triethylamine (TEA) with an ultrahigh response, e.g. 150.5 to 10 ppm TEA in a highly selective manner. In addition, the sensor based on oxygen vacancy-rich SnO2 thin films delivers a fast response and recovery speed (53 and 120 s), which can be further shortened to 10 and 36 s by elevating the working temperature to 120 oC. Notably, a low detection limit of 110 ppb has been obtained under RT. The overall performances surpass most previous reports on TEA detection at RT. The outstanding sensing properties can be attributed to the porous structure with abundant oxygen vacancies, which can improve the adsorption of molecules. The oxygen vacancy engineering strategy and the on-chip fabrication of porous MOS thin film sensing layers deliver a great potential for create high-performance RT sensors.

Spin pumping and laser modulated inverse spin Hall effect in yttrium iron garnet/germanium heterojunctions
摘要： In this work, undoped semiconductors, germanium (Ge) and germanium tin (GeSn), were grown on ferrimagnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin ?lms using ultra-high vacuum molecular beam epitaxy. The crystallinity of the structure was determined from x-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. Both spin pumping and inverse spin Hall effects (ISHEs) of YIG/Ge and YIG/GeSn heterojunctions have been investigated with the help of broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). We observe that the spin mixing conductances of YIG/Ge (60 nm) and YIG/GeSn (60 nm) are 5.4 (cid:2) 1018 m(cid:3)2 and 7.2 (cid:2) 1018 m(cid:3)2, respectively, responsible for giant spin current injection. Furthermore, it is found that spin pumping injects giant spin current from ferrimagnetic YIG into the Ge semiconductor. The infrared laser modulated ISHE was examined using heavy metal platinum as a spin current collector. Also, it has been noted that the variation in the power of laser irradiation signi?cantly changed the ISHE voltage of YIG/Ge/Pt spin junctions, saturated magnetization, FMR linewidth, and Gilbert damping parameter of YIG, which could be attributed to the laser-induced thermal effect. The outcomes from this study are promising for the development of Ge-based spintronic and magnonic devices.

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%.

Influence of Pre-Ionized Plasma on the Dynamics of a Tin Laser-Triggered Discharge-Plasma
摘要： The effect of laser-current delay on extreme ultraviolet emission by laser-triggered discharge-plasma has been investigated. Typical waveforms for current, voltage, laser signals, and X-ray signals have been compared. Theoretical tin spectra were simulated among the electron temperature ranges from 10 to 50 eV to compare with the experimental results. The results show that longer laser-current delay time is propitious to increase the steady-state time of plasma at high temperatures, and it increases the intensity and spectral purity of 13.5 nm emission in 2% band. The 13.5 nm radiation intensity increases about 120% with the delay increasing from 0.7 to 5 μs, and the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emission conversion efficiency (CE) increases from 0.5% to 1.1%.

Electrochemical Immunosensor for Human IgE Using Ferrocene Self-Assembled Monolayers Modified ITO Electrode
摘要： The immunoglobulin E (IgE) level in serum is an important factor in the examination of allergy. Ferrocene (Fc)-modified self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were placed on an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode as a sensing layer for the detection of human IgE. The Fc moiety in the SAMs facilitated the electron transfer through the organic SAMs layer and electrocatalytic signal amplification. The electrochemical measurement was accomplished after the sandwich type immobilization of the receptor antibody, target human IgE, and enzyme conjugated secondary antibody. The enzyme product, p-aminophenol, was quantitatively analyzed by redox cycling via Fc. In addition, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was investigated for the detection of IgE. The limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), and dynamic range of the electrochemical sensor were 3 IU/mL, 10 IU/mL, and from 10 IU/mL to 100 IU/mL, respectively.
