研究目的
Investigating the visible-light activation of ferrophotovoltaics through successive redox-mediated processes in Fe-doped BaTiO3.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that the coexistence of Fe2+ and Fe3+ in BaTiO3 introduces donor and acceptor levels that enable a robust photovoltaic response under visible light through successive redox-mediated processes. This approach offers a promising route for the visible-light activation of photovoltaics and potentially photocatalysts, without sacrificing photovoltages.
研究不足
The study is limited by the need for controlled oxygen partial pressures during annealing to adjust the valence state of iron, which may complicate the scalability of the process. Additionally, the luminescence intensities of single-crystal samples were below the detection limit for cathode-luminescence measurements, necessitating the use of ceramics for some analyses.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized single-crystal experiments and ab initio calculations to investigate the photovoltaic properties of Fe-doped BaTiO3 under visible light.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Fe-doped BaTiO3 single crystals were grown by a top-seeded solution growth method and annealed under controlled oxygen partial pressures to adjust the valence state of iron.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A spectrometer (Horiba LabRam-HR PL) for photo-luminescence measurements, a scanning electron microscopy system (JEOL JSM-7800F Prime) for cathode-luminescence measurements, and a laser module with a wavelength of 405 nm for photovoltaic analysis.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The samples were annealed, poled, and then subjected to photovoltaic and luminescence measurements to analyze their response to visible light.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data were analyzed using log-normal functions for luminescence profiles and symmetry considerations for photovoltaic tensor elements.
