An inverted ZnO/P3HT:PbS bulk-heterojunction hybrid solar cell with a CdSe quantum dot interface buffer layer
摘要： An inverted bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) hybrid solar cell having the structure ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PbS/Au was prepared under ambient conditions and the device performance was further enhanced by inserting an interface buffer layer of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) between the ZnO and the P3HT:PbS BHJ active layer. The device performance was optimized by controlling the size of the CdSe QDs and the buffer layer thickness. The buffer layer, with an optimum thickness and QD size, has been found to promote charge leading to an increased open-circuit voltage (VOC), extraction and reduces interface recombinations, short circuit current density (JSC), fill factor (FF) and power conversion efficiency (PCE). About 40% increase in PCE from 1.7% to 2.4% was achieved by the introduction of the CdSe QD buffer layer, whose major contribution comes from a 20% increase of VOC.

High-Efficiency Perovskite Quantum Dot Solar Cells Benefiting from a Conjugated Polymer-Quantum Dot Bulk Heterojunction Connecting Layer
摘要： In this work, we reported an efficient and universal method to fabricate perovskite quantum dot (PQD) solar cells with enhanced efficiency. Through dissolving optimal amount conjugated polymers in PQD matrix solution to fabricate a polymer-QD bulk heterojunction hybrid layer located at PQD/hole transporting layer (HTL) interfaces, the resultant solar cell devices exhibit significantly enhanced short-circuit current density and efficiency. In-depth characterizations indicate that adding optimal conjugated polymer into the PQD film can effectively reduce pin-holes, resulting in more efficient interfacial charge transfer and decreased carrier recombination loss. More importantly, it shows that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level of the conjugated polymer is crucial for achieving improved carrier transport at the PQD/HTL interfaces. Through rational selection of conjugated polymers, we achieved the best power conversion efficiency of ~14% and 13.2% for CsPbI3 and FAPbI3 PQD based solar cells respectively, situating the forefront of all reported PQD solar cells. These findings would provide insights into well controlling the organic-inorganic interfaces to improve photovoltaic devices.

Carbazole Green and Blue-BODIPY Dyads and Triads as Donors for Bulk Heterojunction Organic Solar Cells
摘要： Two BODIPY derivatives with one (B2) and two (B3) carbazole moieties were designed, synthesized and applied as electron-donor materials in organic photovoltaic cells (OPV). The optical and electrochemical properties were systematically investigated. These BODIPY dyes exhibit excellent solubility in organic solvents and present high molar extinction coefficients (1.37–1.48 x 105 M-1 cm-1) in solutions with absorption maxima at 586 nm for mono-styryl group and at 672 nm for di-styryl groups. The introduction of the styryl moieties result in a large bathochromic shift and a significant decrease in the HOMO-LUMO energy-gaps. The BODIPY dyes show relatively low HOMO energies ranging from -4.99 to -5.16 eV as determined from cyclic voltammetry measurements. Cyclic voltammetry measurements and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the frontier molecular orbital levels of these compounds match with PC71BM as the acceptors, supporting their application as donor materials in solution-processed small molecule bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells. After the optimization of the active layer, B2:PC71BM and B3:PC71BM based organic solar cells showed the overall power conversion efficiency of 6.41% and 7.47%, respectively. The higher PCE of B3 based OSC is ascribed to the more balanced charge transport and exciton dissociation, better crystalline and molecular packing.

Influence of P3HT preaggregation process on performance of the P3HT:C60-PCBM solar cells
摘要： The bulk heterojunction based created by poly(3-hexyltiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (C60-PCBM) it is well-known system used in organic solar cells. As the performance of such solar cells are very sensitive to the processing conditions of the active layers, we have focused attention to preaggregation process of P3HT in the aged solutions, which can be one of the reasons behind the different values of the reported efficiencies for this solar cell system. In this work, we present a systematic study of the influence of aging time of solutions mixture of P3HT:C60-PCBM in different solvents on the performance of the photovoltaic cells. The highest efficiency values were obtained from devices based on active layer dissolved in 1,2-dichlorobenzene. These values were stable even after 120 h of aging solutions, which means that the solution ageing process does not affect the final device properties. While, in chloroform and toluene solvents, efficiency of solar cells decreases within aging process. Our processing approach allows to better understanding the relationship between morphology of P3HT:C60-PCBM layer and device performances.

Improved performance of small molecule organic solar cells by incorporation of a glancing angle deposited donor layer
摘要： improving the photovoltaic performance directly by innovative device architectures contributes much progress in the field of organic solar cells. Photovoltaic device using different kinds of heterojunction with the given set of organic semiconductors paves the way to a better understanding of the working mechanism of organic heterojunction. Here, we report on the fabrication of a new device structure without employing extra material. A thin film of the donor material (chloroaluminum phthalocyanine (ClAlPc)) is inserted between ClAlPc:C60 bulk heterojunction (BHJ) and C60 layer by glancing angle deposition. A ClAlPc/C60 planar heterojunction co-exists with ClAlPc:C60 BHJ simultaneously in this device. Higher efficiency is obtained with this novel device structure. The effects of this additional ClAlPc layer on open-circuit voltage and fill factor in photovoltaic cells are studied. This work provides a new route to improve the device performance of organic solar cells.

All-inorganic 0D/3D Cs4Pb(IBr)6/CsPbI3-xBrx Mixed-dimensional Perovskite Solar Cells with Enhanced Efficiency and Stability
摘要： The inorganic halide perovskite CsPbI3 has shown great promise in efficient solar cells. However, the α-phase CsPbI3 is thermodynamically unstable at room temperature, limiting its applications. Herein, we have successfully fabricated highly stable all-inorganic 0D/3D Cs4Pb(IBr)6/CsPbI3-xBrx mixed-dimensional perovskite solar cells. The 0D Cs4Pb(IBr)6 phase spontaneously distributes in the 3D CsPbI3-xBrx perovskite phase and facilitates the (100) preferential crystal orientation of the CsPbI3-xBrx crystals. Due to the reasonable energy level alignment and lattice match between (040) in 0D Cs4Pb(IBr)6 and (002) in 3D CsPbI3-xBrx crystals, a 0D-3D heterojunction structure formed. The defect passivation and non-radiative recombination suppression within the films effectively promote smooth carrier transport in the perovskite solar cells, boosting the efficiency to 14.77%. The devices retained 93.9% of the initial efficiency after 60 days in a nitrogen atmosphere. Moreover, a high efficiency of 10.52% has also been achieved in the 1 cm2-large solar cells due to the high uniformity and repeatability of the 0D/3D films.

[IEEE 2019 International Energy and Sustainability Conference (IESC) - Farmingdale, NY, USA (2019.10.17-2019.10.18)] 2019 International Energy and Sustainability Conference (IESC) - Metal oxide-based heterojunction thin films for solar cell applications
摘要： The interest and development in a fully green future towards sustainable technology and environmental preservation has spurred exponentially for the past few years. The adoption in clean energy is underway with solar photovoltaic (PV) technology leading the race. To keep PV sector competitive with current conventionally generated electricity, an alternative economic PV module using cheap materials with low-cost deposition method is needed. Among the candidate, metal oxides (MO) semiconductors are great potential materials to achieve this goal due to its massive availability, non-toxicity, chemically stable, and can be deposited using low-cost techniques at ambient condition. In this report, the p-n junction solar cell was fabricated using layer by layer deposition of n-type and p-type metal oxide semiconductors. Co3O4 and CuO were used as absorbing layers and ZnO as a window layer in contact with each other using simple spin coating deposition method. Photocurrent density (JSC), photo voltage (VOC) and the crystallinity of materials were investigated to characterize their optoelectronic properties. It is observed that Co3O4 shows larger crystallite size compared to CuO at 26.66 nm and 24.86 nm, respectively. Samples consisting of Co3O4 and CuO p-n junction solar cell exhibits high absorbance in the visible spectral region of 350 nm to 750 nm. J-V measurement of FTO/ZnO/Co3O4/In heterojunction films exhibits short-circuit current density of 0.391 mA/cm-1 and open-circuit voltage of 0.476 V under the illumination of AM1.5 solar simulation (100mW/cm2). Meanwhile, FTO/ZnO/CuO/In shows short-circuit current density of 0.429 mA/cm-1 and open-circuit voltage of 0.048 V. Thus, it shows that green materials without any environmental issue has high potential in solar cells application.

Effects of HTL and ETL Thicknesses on the Performance of PQT-12/PCDTBT:PC61BM/ZnO QDs Solar Cells
摘要： In this letter, floating film transfer method (FTM) based poly (3, 3'''- dialkylquaterthiophene) (PQT-12) hole transfer layer (HTL) has been explored for the performance improvement of poly[N-9’-heptadecanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4’,7’-di-2-thienyl-2’, 1’, 3’-benzothiadiazole)]:[6,6]-phenyl-C61butyric acid methyl ester (PCDTBT:PC61BM) based bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. The BHJ is formed by sandwiching PCDTBT:PC61BM between FTM coated PQT-12 HTL and spin-coated ZnO quantum dots (QDs) electron transport layer (ETL). The better phase matching of FTM deposited PQT-12 HTL to the PCDTBT:PC61BM based blend polymeric active layer along with the visible absorption spectrum of the PQT-12 enhances the energy harvesting capability of the solar cell structure. The solar cell performance parameters such as the open circuit voltage (VOC), short circuit current density (JSC), fill factor (FF) and power conversion efficiency (PCE) are investigated for ~20 to 60 nm thin PQT-12 and ~20 to 35 nm thin ZnO films. The obtained VOC, JSC, FF, and PCE are 0.672 V, 10.42 mA/cm2, 38%, and 2.66%, respectively for ~20 nm PQT-12 and ~35 nm ZnO QDs.

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： The phase instability of cesium lead halide perovskite is still a substantial challenge hindering its application. A 2D-3D all-inorganic Cs2PbI2Cl2-CsPbI2.5Br0.5 perovskite solar cell was successfully developed to address this issue. The 2D Cs2PbI2Cl2 phase distributed among the grain boundaries of the 3D CsPbI3-xBrx grains. The existence of Cs2PbI2Cl2 effectively facilitated the (100) preferential crystal orientation of the CsPbI2.5Br0.5 crystals, promoting the carrier transport. The smooth transition region between the (003)2D//(001)3D interface indicated the formation of a 2D-3D heterostructure. Due to the improved crystal quality, high uniformity and repeatability, the efficiency of the solar cells with areas of 0.09 cm2, 1 cm2 and 2 cm2 significantly improved to 15.09%, 12.74%, and 10.01%, respectively. The PCE retained 95.3% of the initial efficiency after 60 days in a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature and 80% of the initial efficiency at humidity of 70±10% RH under continuous heating at 80°C for 12 h.
