研究目的
Investigating the synthesis of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method and their application in improving the efficiency of organic solar cells.
研究成果
The microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of GQDs is a simple, cost-effective, and time-saving method that produces GQDs with good dissolution in water and strong blue emission. When used as a hole transport layer in organic solar cells, GQDs significantly improve the cell's efficiency by reducing the potential difference between active layers and electrodes.
研究不足
The size distribution of nanoparticles derived from top-down approaches is nonuniform, and the method relies on the availability of raw materials such as graphene oxide. The efficiency improvement, while significant, is still below theoretical limits.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method for the synthesis of GQDs from graphene oxide, contrasting with conventional hydrothermal methods for its time efficiency.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Graphene oxide was prepared from graphite flakes, and GQDs were synthesized from this graphene oxide. The materials were characterized using TEM, XRD, XPS, FTIR, and photoluminescence spectroscopy.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Graphite flake (GF), P3HT, PCBM, PEDOT, HNO3, NaNO3, H2SO4, KMnO4, H2O2, ammonia solution (25 wt. %), and dichlorobenzene (DCB) were used. Equipment included a microwave oven, TEM-JEOL JEM 1400, XRD-D8 ADVANCE, XPS-K-Alpha/Thermo scientific, FTIR-Equinox 550, Jasco V530, HORIBA fluorescence spectrophotometer, and Keithley
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
24 The synthesis involved the preparation of graphene oxide from graphite flakes, followed by the microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of GQDs. The GQDs were then characterized and applied in organic solar cells to study their effect on efficiency.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of the solar cells was analyzed based on short-circuit current density (J SC), open-circuit voltage (V OC), fill factor (FF), and power conversion efficiency (PCE).
