Non‐Stoichiometry Induced Switching Behavior of Ferroelectric Photovoltaic Effect in BaTiO <sub/>3</sub> Ceramics
摘要： Ferroelectric photovoltaic (FPV) effect has been studied among a series of non-stoichiometric BaTiO3 (Ba/Ti ? 0.92–1.05) ceramic chips prepared by tape casting method. The FPV performance increases abruptly when the Ba/Ti molar ratio deviates from the stoichiometry within 1%. Meanwhile, a photocurrent direction switching behavior is observed between Ti-excess and Ba-excess samples. The TEM analysis shows their significant difference in grain-boundary (GB), where abnormal GB with a width of 10–15 nm is observed in Ba-excess sample. The photocurrent switching phenomenon is described to the competition between the asymmetrical Schottky barriers induced PV effect and intrinsic FPV effect. Widen GB in Ba-excess BaTiO3 ceramics restrains the intrinsic FPV effect and results in the switching behavior. This study offers direct evidence of the vital role of GB in FPV effect and may promote the development of photovoltaic devices.

Enhanced photovoltaic effects in ferroelectric solid solution thin films with nanodomains
摘要： Domain structures in polar materials provide an additional degree of freedom to tune ferroelectric photovoltaic (PV) effects. One of the approaches to control domain structures is to form a solid solution with analogs in different symmetries. In this study, we investigate the influence of domain structures on the PV properties of ferroelectric thin films in the xBaTiO3–(1?x)BiFeO3 (BT–BFO) solid-solution system (x = 0.1 and 0.2). We found that a substitution of BT for BFO substantially decreases the domain size down to several tens of nanometers, leading to an enhanced PV response owing to a marked contribution of the domain-wall PV effect.

Enhanced Ferroelectric Photovoltaic Effect in Semiconducting Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes/BiFeO <sub/>3</sub> Heterostructure Enabled by Wide-Range Light Absorption and Efficient Charge Separation
摘要： The interfacial electronic band structures of photovoltaic heterostructure devices greatly affect their light absorption and charge-transport properties and thus their photovoltaic performance. In this work, we report an enhanced ferroelectric photovoltaic effect in a semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube (S-SWCNTs)/ferroelectric BiFeO3 (BFO) heterostructure. A wide range of light absorption was possible in this structure owing to the low bandgaps of the S-SWCNTs (0.2–2.1 eV) and BFO (2.2–2.7 eV). The heterostructure also enabled efficient charge separation owing to the strong built-in electric field resulting from the synergic effect of the formation of p–f–n junctions (p-type S-SWCNTs/ferroelectric (f) BFO/n-type Nb:SrTiO3) and the introduction of a polarization-mediated internal field in the ferroelectric BFO layer. Compared with a single-layer device (Pt/BFO/Nb:SrTiO3), the heterostructure device (Pt/S-SWCNTs/BFO/Nb:SrTiO3) exhibited substantial enhancement of the photovoltaic performance. The open-circuit photovoltage and short-circuit photocurrent density reached up to 0.23 V and ?7.52 mA cm?2 (corresponding to a photo-conversion efficiency of 4.40%) under one-sun illumination, respectively, after optimization of the ferroelectric layer thickness and appropriate interfacial band alignment. Moreover, by applying switchable electric polarization, this heterostructure could be tuned, enabling the development of controllable photovoltaic devices. Our findings demonstrate that the synergistic integration of materials with different functionalities is a promising approach for the design of photovoltaic devices with tunable performance.

Effects of the film thickness and poling electric field on photovoltaic performances of (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3 ferroelectric thin film-based devices
摘要： The ferroelectric photovoltaic (FPV) effect obtained in inorganic perovskite ferroelectric materials has received much attention because of its large potential in preparing FPV devices with superior stability, high open-circuit voltage (Voc) and large short-circuit current density (Jsc). In order to obtain suitable thickness for the ferroelectric thin film as light absorption layer, in which, the sunlight can be fully absorbed and the photo-generated electrons and holes are recombined as few as possible, we prepare Pb0.93La0.07(Zr0.6Ti0.4)0.9825O3 (PLZT) ferroelectric thin films with different layer numbers by the sol-gel method and based on these thin films, obtain FPV devices with FTO/PLZT/Au structure. By measuring photovoltaic properties, it is found that the device with 4 layer-PLZT thin film (~300 nm thickness) exhibits the largest Voc and Jsc and the photovoltaic effect obviously depends on the value and direction of the poling electric field. When the device is applied a negative poling electric field, both the Voc and Jsc are significantly higher than those of the device applied the positive poling electric field, due to the depolarization field resulting from the remnant polarization in the same direction with the built-in electric field induced by the Schottky barrier, and the higher the negative poling electric field, the larger the Voc and Jsc. At a -333 kV/cm poling electric field, the FPV device exhibits the most superior photovoltaic properties with a Voc of as high as 0.73 V and Jsc of as large as 2.11 μA/cm2. This work opens a new way for developing ferroelectric photovoltaic devices with good properties.

Exploiting Bulk Photovoltaic Effect in a 2D Trilayered Hybrid Ferroelectric for Highly Sensitive Polarized Light Detection
摘要： Polarized light detection is attracting increasing attention for its wide applications ranging from optical switches to high-resolution photodetectors. Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid perovskite-type ferroelectrics combining inherent light polarization dependence of bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) with their excellent semiconducting performances present significant potential in this portfolio. Here, we first report the BPVE-driven highly sensitive polarized light detection in a 2D trilayered hybrid perovskite ferroelectric, (allyammonium)2(ethylammonium)2Pb3Br10 (1), which shows superior BPVE with a near-bandgap photovoltage of ~ 2.5 V and a high on/off switching ratio of current (~ 104). Notably, driven by the superior BPVE, 1 exhibits highly sensitive polarized light detection with a polarization ratio as high as ~15, which is far more beyond than those of structural anisotropy-based monocomponent devices. As far as we know, this is the first realization of BPVE-driven polarized light detection in hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics. This work opens a new avenue for the design of highly sensitive polarized light detection by exploiting the sinusoidal behavior of BPVE current in 2D multilayered hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics.

The composition and poling-dependent photovoltaic studies in ferroelectric (Bi1?xSrx)(Fe1?xTix)O3 thin films
摘要： The polycrystalline (Bi1?xSrx)(Fe1?xTix)O3 (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20) thin films were grown on Pt(111)/TiO2/SiO2/ Si(100) substrates using chemical solution deposition technique. X-ray diffraction pattern revealed that pure BiFeO3 film is crystallized in rhombohedrally distorted crystal structure. However, the patterns for doped samples displayed a mixed-phase (rhombohedral + tetragonal) structure. The Raman studies revealed the emergence of B mode related to the tetragonal phase along with the modes corresponding to the rhombohedral phase in doped systems. The photovoltaic studies displayed a large photovoltaic response for the parent compound with an open-circuit voltage of 0.47 V. However, it showed a decrease in the photovoltaic response with an increase in composition x. The composition-dependent photovoltaic response could be correlated to the evolution of tetragonal phase fractions and the polarization. Additionally, the poling-dependent photovoltaic studies revealed the dominant role played by the polarization in comparison with the interface Schottky effect. This work gives an improved understanding of the ferroelectric photovoltaic mechanism and, therefore, may offer guidelines to design and optimize photovoltaic materials.

In-situ stress modulated ferroelectric photovoltaic effect in cluster-assembled TbFe <sub/>2</sub> /Bi <sub/>5</sub> Ti <sub/>3</sub> FeO <sub/>15</sub> heterostructural films
摘要： TbFe2/Bi5Ti3FeO15 heterostructural ?lms were prepared by inserting cluster-assembled TbFe2 microdiscs into a Bi5Ti3FeO15 matrix using low energy cluster beam deposition combined with sol-gel methods. The phase structure, ferroelectric properties, bandgap, photovoltaic spectral response, and performances of the ferroelectric photovoltaic effect were modulated by the in situ stress driven by magnetostriction of TbFe2 clusters under external magnetic ?elds. The short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, and power conversation ef?cient increase with the in situ stress, reaching 0.026 mA/cm2, 9.5 V, and 5.88 (cid:2) 10(cid:3)2%, respectively, under a maximum in-stress of 0.075 GPa. So the high open-circuit voltage above bandgap is attributed to the distinct bandgap shifting and the effective separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs derived from the in situ stress induced large built-in ?eld. The in situ stress dominated symmetry breaking contributes to the improvement of the power conversation coef?cient. The in situ dynamic internal stress provides a high ef?cient approach to modulate and improve ferroelectric photovoltaic effects.

Ferroelectric barium titanate derivatives containing Mo and Mg for transparent photovoltaic applications
摘要： Using first-principles methods, we investigate the electronic properties of the [Ba(Mo1/2,Mg1/2)O3]x-[BaTiO3]1?x solid solution derived from barium titanate as a potential candidate to be used in photovoltaic devices. Focusing on the bandgap and its origin, we study the effect of different possible Mo and Mg contents, arrangements, and phases of [Ba(Mo1/2,Mg1/2)O3]x-[BaTiO3]1?x. We find that [Ba(Mo1/2,Mg1/2)O3]0.25-[BaTiO3]0.75 is a viable candidate for use in transparent photovoltaics due to its energy bandgap of 2.6 eV in the rhombohedral phase. In all cases, [Ba(Mo1/2,Mg1/2)O3]x-[BaTiO3]1?x materials exhibit spontaneous polarization that allows the exploitation of the bulk photovoltaic effect and in principle may allow high power conversion efficiency exceeding the Shockley-Queisser limit for these materials.

Novel photo-voltaic device based on Bi1?xLaxFeO3 perovskite films with higher efficiency
摘要： Photovoltaic cells using polycrystalline La substituted bismuth iron oxide, Bi1?xLaxFeO3, (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.4), films as the light harvesting component were investigated in this work. A novel cell set-up utilizing a double layered TiO2 film as top contact and a thin layer of quasi-solid polymer electrolyte as back contact was used and a significant enhancement in cell efficiency was observed for assemblies based on x ≥ 0.2 samples, coincident with a structural transition of Bi1?xLaxFeO3 from ferroelectric to non-ferroelectric. The power conversion efficiency of the PV device was 0.13% for the cell with x = 0.2 at 1 sun irradiation. The short circuit current density for this La composition was 0.35 mA cm?2. A hysteretic behaviour was observed for higher La compositions when the scanning is from open-circuit (OP) to short-circuit (SC) which may be attributed to polarization effects. The results at x ≥ 0.2 show an improved performance with respect to BiFeO3 based systems, suggesting the stabilization of the non-ferroelectric crystal structure leads either to a more efficient separation of photo-generated electron–hole pairs and/or enhanced charge transport. The findings represent a step towards the realisation of facile to fabricate, inorganic solid state photovoltaic devices.
