Dynamic operation of liquid crystal cell with inherently nanogroove-featured aligned carbon nanotube sheets
摘要： The use of a highly aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) sheet as a multifunctional constituent for liquid crystal (LC) displays and electro-optic LC applications is assessed. The CNT sheet can perform a dual function: one is an alignment layer for LCs, replacing the commonly used rubbed polyimide film, and the other is a transparent conductive layer, taking the place of indium tin oxide. The hydrophobic treatment improved the adhesion quality between aligned CNT bundles and the glass substrate, which helps to preserve the inherently aligned nanogroove morphology of transparent CNT sheets. The test LC display cells, comprising 4-cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl molecules sandwiched between CNT-sheet-on-glass substrates, demonstrate the operation characteristics comparable to that of the conventional cell under temperature variation and ac electric field of 1 kHz. The results offer a possibility of deploying multifunctional CNT-sheet alignment layers in LC-based devices, especially in the future flexible display applications.

Indium tin oxide modified with dendrimer-encapsulated Pt nanoparticles as efficient p-aminophenol redox cycling platforms
摘要： In this work, we studied indium tin oxides (ITOs) modified with dendrimer-encapsulated Pt nanoparticles (Pt DENs) to develop efficient p-aminophenol (p-AP) redox cycling platforms. The ITO surfaces were modified via electro-oxidative grafting of the terminal amine groups of the dendrimers encapsulating catalytic Pt nanoparticles (i.e., Pt DENs). Compared to conventional ITO surfaces, the Pt DEN-modified ITOs showed highly enhanced electrochemical oxidation current of p-AP even at low potentials with no significant background oxidation current due to the catalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles, leading to high signal-to-background ratio for sensitive p-AP redox cycling. The enhanced p-AP redox cycling on the Pt DEN-modified ITOs led to ～17.8 times higher sensitivity of the p-AP redox cycling than that obtained with conventional ITOs. In addition, the Pt DEN-modified ITOs were found to be suitable as platforms for the immobilization of oligonucleotides due to the globular structure of dendrimers, which have a high surface-to-volume ratio and multiple terminal functional groups, grafted on ITO surfaces. The DEN-modified ITOs could be further functionalized by the immobilization of single-strand DNA oligonucleotides with high surface density (i.e., (2.2 ± 0.4) × 1012 molecules/cm2), which is ～4.4-fold higher than that on the surface of conventional ITOs.

Signal-on Electrochemiluminescence Aptasensor for Bisphenol A based on Hybridization Chain Reaction and Electrically Heated Electrode
摘要： A simple and sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor has been developed for bisphenol A (BPA) detection. The capture DNA (CDNA) was modified on the heated indium-tin-oxide (ITO) working electrode surface firstly and then hybridized with BPA aptamer to form double strand DNA (dsDNA). The presence of target can cause the releasing of aptamer from the electrode surface since the aptamer prefers to switch its configuration to combine with BPA. Subsequently, the free CDNA will induce hybridization chain reaction (HCR) to produce long dsDNA on the electrode surface. Ru(phen)3 2+ can integrate into the grooves of dsDNA to act as an ECL reagent, thus enhanced ECL signal can be detected. The temperature control during the processes of target recognition and HCR were realized through the heated electrode instead of the bulk solution heating. Furthermore, the performance of the ECL aptasensor can be further enhanced at elevated electrode temperature. Under the optimized conditions, the ECL intensity of the system has a linear relationship with the logarithm of BPA concentration in the range of 2.0 pM-50 nM. The limit of detection (LOD) at 55 °C (electrode surface temperature) was calculated to be 1.5 pM, which was approximately 6.5-fold lower than that at 25 °C. The proposed biosensor has been applied to detect the BPA in drink samples with satisfactory results.

Effect of the Interface Improved by Self-Assembled Aromatic Organic Semiconductor Molecules on Performance of OLED
摘要： This work focuses on characterization the performance of enhanced interface of organic light emitting diode (OLED) device by Self-assembled Monolayer (SAM) technique. SAM technique is popular in order to overcome the weak bonding at the organic/inorganic interface in OLED. New generation of SAM molecules, phenyl-benzoic-acid (PBA, 4-(9H-carbazol-9-il) benzoic acid (MZ39), 4-(2,5-di-2thienyl-1H-pyrrol-1-il) benzoic acid (MZ25) were coated on between Indium Tin Oxide (ITO). The two con?guration of ITO/SAM/TPD/Al and ITO/TPD/Al diode were fabricated as hole-only device to show the contribution of SAM layer on the hole mobility calculated by Space Charge Limited Current (SCLC) technique. The optical characterization of OLED devices with con?guration ITO/TPD/Alq3/Al and ITO/SAM/TPD/Alq3/Al was performed to see the effect of aromatic SAM molecules on the luminance and quantum ef?ciency. Especially, the SAM modi?ed OLED has a maximum luminance of 397 cd m?2. All devices containing SAM layer showed better performance than reference one.

摘要： When considering silicon heterojunction technology (HJT) for mass production the most frequently expressed reservations are related to the performance and cost constraints the standard TCO on the cell front side namely thin indium tin oxide (ITO) constitutes. We address these concerns with our HJT 2.0 concept in which the front electrode is made of a bi-layer of ITO that is supplemented by a silicon nitride (SiN) layer. This cell concept was developed to yield an increase in efficiency of typically 0.2% absolute due to improved cell current and a cost saving in the range of 30-40% with respect to cost of ownership (CoO).

摘要： In this study, we investigate the impact of the deposition of indium tin oxide (ITO) via DC magnetron sputtering on tunnel oxide passivating poly-Si contacts. Before ITO deposition to the tunnel SiOx passivating n+ poly-Si rear-contact on the cell structure with an SiNx/Al2O3 passivating boron emitter, the implied open-circuit voltage (iVoc) and implied fill factor (iFF) were measured to be 694±10 mV and 83±0.6%, respectively. After ITO sputtering and curing annealing, the iVoc and iFF were almost fully recovered, resulting in the iVoc of 685±11 mV and iFF of 81.9±0.8%. The characteristic of fully recovered effective lifetime is attributed to unique sputtering conditions employing a very low power density at room temperature and curing.

摘要： We report for the ?rst time on the impact of a printed indium tin oxide (ITO) layer inserted between a printed silver conductor and solution processed zinc oxide (ZnO) leading to an optimized semiconductor/contact scheme for full print integration. Introducing the ITO interlayer, the contact resistance is reduced by two orders of magnitude. Nanoparticle thin-?lm transistors (TFTs) in this Ag/ITO contact con?guration show improved saturation mobility of 0.53 cm V s with respect to 0.08 cm V s without ITO interlayer. The contact improvement can be attributed to either an increased charge carrier concentration or a reduction of band offsets at the ZnO/electrode interface.

Electro-optical Amplitude and Phase Modulators Based on Tunable Guided-Mode Resonance Effect
摘要： Here, electrically tunable amplitude and phase modulators are designed by the hybridization of indium tin oxide (ITO) into a guided-mode resonance mirror (so-called GMRM) which consists of a high-index silicon (Si) nanograting placed on top of a Si guiding core followed by a silicon-dioxide optical buffer layer and a highly reflective substrate. The physical mechanism is based on the intriguing optical characteristics of GMRMs and integration of a dual-gated ITO with the capability of charge carrier modulation into the Si nanograting. A gate-tunable amplitude modulator with a modulation depth as high as ≈0.80 is realized by careful selection of structural parameters, excitation of a strongly coupled guided-mode resonance, and modifying the external bias voltage. This design can also be adjusted only by changing the thickness of its optical buffer layer and moderating the strength of the guided-mode resonance to serve as an efficient active phase modulator. The phase variation of ≈210° and relatively high reflection amplitude in 0.45-0.6 range are accomplished when the applied bias voltage alters from -15 V to +24 V. This reflection phase tuning mainly originates from the carrier depletion and accumulation inside the incorporated 5 nm-thick ITO layer. The accurate modeling and numerical calculation of optical response of the proposed unit cell for different applied external voltages are carried out through linking the electrostatics device physics model and rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) optical simulation. The design rules and physical principles behind the dual-gated ITO-integrated GMRM unit cell are discussed in-depth by investigation of the structural parameters, the nature of supported resonances, and voltage-dependent effects of inhomogeneous carrier distributions in both ITO and Si layers. The electrical addressability and individual control over pixelated subwavelength unit cells provide the opportunity for realizing an actively reconfigurable metasurface with the desired gradient phase delay.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Chicago, IL, USA (2019.6.16-2019.6.21)] 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Angular Dependence of Textured Bifacial Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells for High Latitudes
摘要： Bifacial photovoltaics at high latitudes can achieve up to 25-45% bifacial gain due to high-albedo snow cover and high proportion of diffuse light. We studied the angular performance of bifacial silicon heterojunction solar cells with various textures to understand high-latitude effects on optical losses. For cone and pyramid-patterned designs, efficiency decreases at high angles, primarily due to increased reflectivity, although longer path length through front-surface films also increases UV losses for all surface types. At 80° incidence and 25°C, a <7% reduction in short-circuit current due to change in external quantum efficiency is observed for random pyramid textured surfaces. Simulation is compared to measured external quantum efficiency for a silicon heterojunction cell, and similar trends are observed with increasing angle of incidence. A relative reduction of <1% in short-circuit current is also observed when moving from an air mass of 1.5 to 5 at high angles of incidence. These results will inform future solar heterojunction designs for this application and be applied to refine annual energy yield calculations.
