Evaluation of solar factor using spectral analysis for CdTe photovoltaic glazing
摘要： Solar and luminous light transmission control using Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) based PV glazing systems (15cm × 15 cm × 0.6 cm) were evaluated in this work. Indoor spectral characterisation showed that average solar transmission for investigated three different CdTe glazing systems were 5.77% (CdTe1), 9.54% (CdTe2) and 12.34% (CdTe3). Spectral behaviour of reflections in the range of solar and visible wavelengths was similar for these three different transparent CdTe glazing. Near infrared (NIR) reflection was higher compared to luminous reflection after 1500 nm for all three glazing systems. Solar factor (SF) for CdTe1, CdTe2 and CdTe3 glazing were 0.23, 0.28, 0.26. CdTe3 is the best candidate for glazing application as it has 113% higher luminous transmission while SF only increases by 21% compared to CdTe1.

Symmetry and thermodynamics of tellurium vacancies in cadmium telluride
摘要： The equilibrium geometries and thermodynamic properties of anion vacancies in cadmium telluride, as predicted by density functional theory, are revisited using semilocal and hybrid density functionals. We find that stable configurations in different charge states can only be found after a systematic search considering several starting geometries. The stable charge states, 0 and 2+, display closed-shell electronic configurations, without deep bandgap levels. The 2+ charge state has a Td symmetry with an outward relaxation, while the neutral state is a mixture of configurations with C2v and C3v symmetries, both with the same energy and a negligible energy barrier. Therefore, the neutral charge state presents an effective Td symmetry. Configurations with different symmetries, e.g., D2d, can exist as metastable states. We show that certain configurations may seem falsely stable due to several facts: the bandgap error of generalized gradient approximation, the k-point sampling used in small supercells, or the use of a restricted set of starting geometries. We believe that the HSE06 hybrid functional allows to obtain accurate formation energies and geometries. We analyze the effect of the spin-orbit coupling and GW quasiparticle corrections to the HSE06 results, and find no qualitative differences. The spin-orbit coupling and GW corrections to the HSE06 energies partially cancel each other. Finally, we investigate the divacancy VCdVTe. The obtained formation energies suggest that isolated tellurium vacancies in neutral charge state can be found only in Te-poor growth conditions, coexisting with divacancies.

摘要： The influences of gamma irradiation on CdS/CdTe photodiodes were investigated in order to evaluate their potential for applications to the radiation tolerant field emitter array (FEA) image sensor. It was found that the CdS/CdTe photodiodes have sufficient tolerance to high gamma-ray exposure more than 2 MGy. Furthermore, I-V characteristics of CdS/CdTe photodiodes under gamma-ray irradiation were investigated. In the CdTe thickness of 6.5 ?m, the change rate of current density increased with increase in the reverse bias voltage. On the other hand, in the case of 2.2 ?m, the change rate of current density was almost constant irrespective of the reverse bias voltage. These results suggest that the increase in depletion layer width affects the change rate of current density.

Impact of high resistivity transparent (HRT) layer in cadmium telluride solar cells from numerical simulation
摘要： In this study, Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS-1D) is utilized to examine the properties of cadmium telluride (CdTe) based solar cell. The key aim of this study is to explore the prospects of enhancing the ef?ciency of CdTe solar cells by adding a high resistivity transparent (HRT) layer to the conventional cell structure. For that purpose, novel HRT layer structures are suggested in CdTe solar cells between a cadmium sul?de (CdS) window layer and transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer. Simulation results presented in this paper are from four proposed structures with three different HRT materials compared to the conventional design. The optimal parameters that offer the optimum functionality of the conventional design (SnO2/CdS/CdTe/MoTe2), with and without the HRT layer, are determined. Obtained results validate an enhancement in ef?ciency of the solar cell with Zn2SO4 as the HRT layer due to lower recombination loss and barrier height at the back contact region. The suggested cell with Zn2SO4 demonstrates an ef?ciency of 17.61% (Voc ? 0.92 V, Jsc ? 25.41 mA/cm2, FF ? 75.35), with only 20 nm HRT layer and 25 nm CdS as a window layer. In the meantime, the reference cell (no HRT layer) depicts an ef?ciency of 17.01% with 4000 nm thick CdTe as an absorber layer. However, the normalized ef?ciency of the suggested cells decreases linearly with increased temperature.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Chicago, IL, USA (2019.6.16-2019.6.21)] 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Aerial Infrared Thermography of a CdTe Utility-Scale PV Power Plant
摘要： Aerial Infrared Thermography (aIRT) is a fast and flexible inspection method to monitor and assess utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants. The literature is abundant on aIRT for crystalline silicon (c-Si) modules, but very little investigation has been carried out and reported thin-film PV. As Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) is currently the leading thin-film technology, and a good performer in warm and sunny climates, this paper aims to investigate the application of aIRT on CdTe PV plants in Brazil. Results demonstrate that aIRT is a reliable, cost-effective and fast method to detect faults on CdTe modules in large-scale PV plants.

68Ga CdTe/CdS fluorescent quantum dots for detection of tumors: investigation on the effect of nanoparticle size on stability and in vivo pharmacokinetics
摘要： Background: Quantum dots (QDs)-based theranostics offer exciting new approaches to diagnose and therapy of cancer. To take advantage of the unique properties of these fluorescent QDs for different biomedical applications, their structures, size and/or surface chemistry need to be optimized, allowing their stability and functionalities to be tailored for different biomedical applications. Methodology: Cadmium telluride/Cadmium sulfide QDs (CdTe/CdS QDs) were synthesized and their structure, size, photostability and functionalities as a bioprobe for detection of Fibrosarcoma tumors were studied and compared with Cadmium telluride (CdTe) QDs. Hence, CdTe/CdS QDs were labeled with 68Ga radionuclide for fast in vivo biological nuclear imaging. Using gamma paper chromatography (γ-PC), the physicochemical properties of the prepared labeled QDs were assessed. In vivo biodistribution and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of the 68Ga@ CdTe/CdS QDs nanocrystals were investigated in Sprague Dawley? rats bearing Fibrosarcoma tumor. Results: CdS shell on the surface of CdTe core increases the size and photostability against high energy radiations; therefore, CdTe/CdS QDs show prolonged fluorescence as compared to CdTe QDs. Conclusion: Excellent accumulation in tumor was observed for core/shell quantum dots, but this study showed that small changes in the size of the QDs (+1 nm), after adding the CdS shell around CdTe core, greatly change their biodistribution (especially the liver uptake).

Impact of Bi doping on CdTe thin films: Thermal annealing evolution of physical properties for solar cell absorber layer applications
摘要： To mitigate probability of instability and device degradation associated with traditional Cu doping and to tune required band gap as well as to reduce open circuit voltage loss to solar cell device, a study on evolution to the physical properties of Bi-doped CdTe films is reported. Thin films of CdTe:Bi 2% alloy are developed employing electron-beam deposition followed by air annealing. Structural studies reveal that films have preferred crystal growth along (111) plane and with annealing, films turned out to be polycrystalline. Absorbance of films is found to be affected with annealing where 450 °C annealed films show maximum absorbance. The current-voltage measurements show linear relationship reveal to ohmic contacts between the films and transparent conducting oxide substrate and conductivity is observed to be varied with annealing. The atomic force microscopy study indicates an increase in surface roughness with annealing (except for 300 °C). Our findings warrant that the optimized physical properties of CdTe:Bi 2% films annealed at 450 °C may play important role to enhance the solar cell device performance concerned.

Photoinduced charge carrier dynamics in a ZnSe quantum dot-attached CdTe system
摘要： A new nanohybrid material is prepared by attaching CdTe nanoneedles (NNs) to surface-modified ZnSe quantum dots (QDs). The NNs and QDs are prepared by a colloidal synthesis method in an aqueous alkaline medium. The surface modification and the attachment of nanostructures are achieved by a bifunctional ligand 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA). The band gap of the ZnSe QDs is varied by controlling the size of the QDs in order to get the maximum overlap between the absorption band of the CdTe NNs and the emission band of the ZnSe QDs, which is a prerequisite for effective charge/energy transfer. The possibility of photoinduced charge transfer (PCT) and F?rster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the donor (QDs) to the acceptor (NNs) has been assessed. Very fast (less than 800 ps) PCT and FRET from QDs to NNs occur because the emission band of QDs overlaps with the absorption band of NNs. The calculated large value of the overlapping integral, J(λ) ～4.5 × 1019 M?1 cm?1 nm4, of the donor and the acceptor bands proves the feasibility of energy transfer. These findings suggest that the ZnSe QDs can exchange photoinduced energy with the CdTe NNs effectively over a wide distance in a CdTe–ZnSe nanohybrid.

Variety-dependent responses of rice plants with differential cadmium accumulating capacity to cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs): Cadmium uptake, antioxidative enzyme activity, and gene expression
摘要： The excess release of engineered nanomaterials into farmland poses a serious threat to food security. Although rice varieties exhibit substantial variation in cadmium accumulation, their responses to Cd-based nanoparticles are largely unknown. In this work, we investigated the accumulation of cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs at 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 mg-Cd/L) in two rice varieties with different Cd accumulation capacity. It was found that 5.0 mg-Cd/L of CdTe QDs had minor growth inhibition to the high-Cd-accumulating variety (T705) relative to the low-Cd-accumulating variety (X24) after 7-day exposure. The two rice varieties had comparable Cd content in roots; however, T705 exhibited higher Cd content in shoots than X24. Transmission electron and confocal laser scanning microscopic observations demonstrated that more CdTe QDs can be transported and accumulated from roots to shoots in T705. The activities and gene expression of antioxidative enzymes in leaves of T705 increased more significantly than those of X24. Our findings for the first time validated that Cd accumulation divergence exists in different rice varieties when they are exposed to Cd-based QDs, the genetic basis for which needs to be further examined.
