Hole Blocking Layer-Free Perovskite Solar Cells with High Efficiencies and Stabilities by Integrating Subwavelength-Sized Plasmonic Alloy Nanoparticles
摘要： Perovskite solar cells hold great promise as prospective alternatives of renewable power sources. Recently hole blocking layer-free perovskite solar cells, getting rid of complex and high-temperature fabrication processes, have engaged in innovative designs of photovoltaic devices. However, the elimination of the hole blocking layer constrains the energy conversion efficiencies of perovskite solar cells, and severely degrades the stabilities. In this paper a simple approach (without energy-consuming and time-consuming procedures) for the fabrication of hole blocking layer-free perovskite solar cells has been demonstrated by an integration of copper-silver alloy nanoparticles, which are synthesized by wet chemical method with controllable diameters and elemental compositions. The rear-side integration of the subwavelength-sized silver-copper alloy particles (200 nm diameter), through a spraying/drying method, realizes a pronounced absorption enhancement of the perovskite layer by effectively light scattering in a broadband wavelength range, and achieves a series resistance decrease of the solar cell due to high electrical conductivities of the alloy particles. The particle integration achieves the highest efficiency of 18.89% due to the significant improvement in both optical and electrical properties of solar cells, making this device one of the highest-performing blocking layer-free perovskite solar cells and plasmonic perovskite solar cells. Moreover, the copper-based nanoparticles prevent the perovskite from diffusing into metal back electrodes. Because the diffusion can lead to a severe corrosion of the Au electrode and thus an efficiency degradation, the alloy nanoparticle integration between the perovskite and the electrode results in 80% and 200% improvements in the long-term stability and the photostability of solar cells, respectively. Through the proposed simple and effective fabrication process, our results open up new opportunities in the manufacturability of perovskite solar cells.

Suggestions on Efficiency Droop of GaN-based LEDs
摘要： InGaN/GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used in modern society and industry among different areas. However, InGaN/GaN LEDs suffer from an efficiency droop issue: The internal efficiency decreases during high current injection. The efficiency droop significantly affects the development of GaN-based LEDs devices in efficiency and light-output areas. Therefore, the improvement of the droop phenomenon has become a significant topic. This paper introduces several possible mechanisms of droop phenomenon based on different hypotheses including Auger Recombination, Carrier Delocalization and Electron Leakage. Furthermore, some proposals to mitigate efficiency droop, including semipolar LEDs, electron blocking layer(EBL), quaternary alloy and chip design will be discussed and analyzed. Also, it will provide some suggestions for the further optimization of droop phenomenon in each proposal.

Polarization-engineered AlGaN last quantum barrier for efficient deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diodes
摘要： The AlGaN-based deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (DUV LEDs) has been identified as a prospective mercury-free UV source. However, the observation of severe electron overflow and low hole injection efficiency in the conventional DUV LED deteriorates the device performance, attributing to the downward band bending as a result of the strong polarization-induced electric fields between the last quantum barrier (LQB) and the electron blocking layer (EBL). In this study, a composition-graded AlGaN layer with linearly increasing of Al composition from 0.5 to 0.65 is proposed to act as the LQB, replacing the conventional flat LQB to reduce the effective barrier height for hole injection while improving the electron blocking ability. Hence, a considerable enhancement of the output power can be obtained. Moreover, further investigations show that the thickness of graded LQB determine the band bending in the LQB and thus significantly suppress the electron leakage, eventually leading to a boosted output power. The thorough investigation on the LQB could pave the way towards the realization of efficient DUV LEDs of the future.

Enhancing reliability of InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes by controlling the etching profile of the current blocking layer
摘要： SiO2 was used as the current blocking layer (CBL) during fabricating the InGaN/GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The SiO2 film was prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) at a lower temperature (LT) of 180 °C and a higher temperature (HT) of 280 °C for characterizing the reliability of LEDs. The degradation of output power in LT-CBL LED is as high as 6.8% during 1000 h in the high-temperature and humidity (85 °C/85 RH) condition. Experimental results demonstrate the low temperature grown CBL forms a larger side-wall angle via wet etching. The thinner side-wall ITO film cracks and the current spreading effect is suppressed, causing drastic power degradation. On the contrary, the HT-CBL SiO2 demonstrates optimal step coverage of ITO film for current spreading and then the HT-CBL LEDs slightly degrade as low as 5% in the accelerated reliability test. A dense quality of HT-CBL SiO2 as well as a good CBL decreased parasitic optical absorption in the p-pad electrode and p-finger. Besides, the HT-CBL SiO2 showed a small side-wall angle of 40? which increased the step coverage and current spreading of ITO. An approach is conducted to confirm the side-wall profile of CBL for each process.

Suppression of efficiency droop in AlGaN based deep UV LEDs using double side graded electron blocking layer.
摘要： We have envisaged and designed a novel III-V Nitride based deep ultraviolet light emitting diodes (DUV LEDs) with reasonably high efficiency at higher current density using a double-side grading in electron blocking layer (EBL). Double-side step- and linear-grading in EBL yield better performance attributable to improved hole injection, stifled electron overflow and diminished electrostatic field in the active region. The performance curves indicate that double sided linear grading in EBL has 5.63 times enhancement in power compared to the conventional LED and the efficiency droop is as low as 15% at the current density of 200 A/cm2 for the emission wavelength of ~273 nm.

Highly Efficient Quantum Dot Light‐Emitting Diodes by Inserting Multiple Poly(methyl methacrylate) as Electron‐Blocking Layers
摘要： This work presents a new device architecture integrating multiple poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) electron-blocking layers (EBL) in quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs). The device utilizes red-emitting CdSe/ZnS QD with a novel structure where multiple PMMA EBLs are sandwiched between a pair of QD layers. A systematic optimization of QD-LED structures has shown that a device including two PMMA and three QD layers performs the best, achieving a current efficiency of 17.8 cd A?1 and a luminance of 194 038 cd m?2. Numerical simulation of a simplified model of the proposed QD-LED structure verifies that the structure consisting of two PMMA and three QD layers provides significant improvement in electroluminescent intensity. The simulation provides further insight into the origin of the effect of the PMMA EBL by showing that the addition of PMMA EBL reduces the electron leakage from the active QD region and enhances electron confinement, leading to an increased electron concentration in the QD active layers and a higher radiative recombination rate. The experimental and theoretical studies presented in this work demonstrate that multiple layers of PMMA can act as efficient EBLs in the fabrication of QD-LEDs of improved performance.

Band engineering of III-nitride-based deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diodes: A review
摘要： III-nitride deep ultraviolet (DUV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are identified as the promising candidate for energy-efficient, environment-friendly and robust UV lighting source in the application of water/air purification, sterilization, and bio-sensing. However, the state-of-art DUV LED performance is far from satisfaction for commercialization owing to its low internal quantum efficiency, large current leakage and efficiency droop at high current injection, etc. Extensive efforts have been devoted to properly designing the band structures of such luminescent devices to enhance their output power. In this review, we summarize the recent progress on various energy band designs and engineering of DUV LEDs, with particular of interest is paid on the various approaches in band engineering of the electron-blocking layer, quantum well, quantum barrier and the implementation of many novel structures such as tunnel junctions, ultrathin quantum heterostructures to enhance their efficiency. Those inspirational approaches pave the way towards the next generation of greener and efficient UV sources for practical applications.

Impact of the Structural Parameters on the Photoresponse of Terahertz Blocked-impurity-band Detectors With Planar Structure
摘要： We fabricate germanium-based blocked-impurity-band (BIB) terahertz detectors with the same planar structure but different structural parameters. The photoresponse waveband range is about 40 - 130 μm. The best detectivity of these detectors reaches as high as 1.3 × 1013 Jones at 2.6 V and 4 K. The impact of the structural parameters, including the length of the absorbing layer (AL) and blocking layer (BL) on the performance of detectors is investigated. It is concluded that there is an optimum BL length, enabling the fabricated BIB detectors to achieve the highest sensitivity. This work highlights the importance of the optimized structural parameters and their influence on the performance of the detectors.

High-Intensity CsPbBr <sub/>3</sub> Perovskite LED using Poly(bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine) as Hole Transport and Electron-Blocking Layer
摘要： The majority of highly efficient perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLED) contain PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate) as hole transport layer (HTL). However, the hygroscopic and acidic nature of PEDOT:PSS may lead to deterioration of PeLED performance. Moreover, due to its inferior electron-blocking properties, an additional electron-blocking layer (EBL) is required to establish charge balance and consequently obtain superior emission characteristics in typically electron-rich PeLED structures. In this work, PTAA (poly(bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine)) serving both as HTL and EBL is employed to substitute PEDOT:PSS in PeLED. The perovskite CsPbBr3 is chosen as emissive layer (EML) material due to its high color purity and photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield. Dense CsPbBr3 films are fabricated on PTAA-coated ITO substrates by employing a one-step spin-coating approach based on nonstoichiometric perovskite precursor solutions. To suppress non-radiative recombination, a small amount of methylammonium bromide (MABr) is incorporated in the CsPbBr3 lattice. The resulting films exhibit excellent coverage and PL intensity. PeLED containing pure CsPbBr3 films as EML show a green emission with a peak at 520 nm, maximum luminance of 11,000 cd/m2, an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 3.3 % and a current efficiency (CE) of 10.3 cd/A. Further enhancement to 21,000 cd/m2, 7.5 % and 27.0 cd/A is demonstrated by PeLED with MABr-doped CsPbBr3 layers.

Enhanced photocurrent in organic photodetectors by the tunneling effect of a hafnium oxide thin film as an electron blocking layer
摘要： To achieve high detectivity of organic photodetectors (OPDs), we investigated hafnium oxide (HfO2) as an electron blocking layer in an attempt to obtain a low leakage current and high photocurrent by the tunneling effect. The prepared devices consisted of indium tin oxide (ITO)/HfO2/(poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl)[P3HT]:PC60BM)/Yb/Al. To explore the tunneling effect in a hafnium oxide thin film, we fabricated a thin film using successive ionic layer deposition. The results for hafnium oxide were compared with those for aluminum oxide and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). We found that hafnium oxide results in a low leakage current and high photocurrent owing to the tunneling effect in the OPDs. The resulting detectivity of 1.76 × 1012 Jones for a film thickness of 5.5 nm and bandwidth of ～100 kHz is suitable for commercialization.
