AIP Conference Proceedings [AIP Publishing INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY (ISGST2019) - Perak, Malaysia (23–26 April 2019)] INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY (ISGST2019) - Lab-scale manufacturing of medium-sized N.I.C.E.? modules with high-efficiency bifacial silicon heterojunction solar cells
摘要： One promising PV module technology in terms of reducing expensive consumables while keeping the performance on a high level is the N.I.C.E.? (New Industrial Solar Cell Encapsulation) module technology from Apollon Solar that is based on mechanical pressing contacts. In this paper, we investigate the question if the N.I.C.E.? module technology is well suited for temperature-sensitive silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells. We present challenges encountered during the ramp-up of our lab-scale manufacturing from 1x1 to 3x4 modules. In the experimental study, we used SHJ cells with different front metal pastes and could demonstrate the high performance of N.I.C.E.? technology irrespective of the type of paste. Record aperture area module efficiencies of 20.6% are achieved and the LIV parameters are modeled via SunSolve? simulations. We derive from our investigations that this eco-friendly, recyclable technology is well competitive to standard laminate-based module technology.

AIP Conference Proceedings [AIP Publishing INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY (ISGST2019) - Perak, Malaysia (23–26 April 2019)] INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY (ISGST2019) - Advanced metallization with low silver consumption for silicon heterojunction solar cells
摘要： In this work, three industry-related metallization approaches for silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells are presented which are aiming for a reduction of silver consumption compared to conventional screen-printing of low-temperature silver pastes. The presented results are achieved on large-area cells (area of 244.3 cm2). Firstly, the cell results reveal that with silver-coated copper pastes for screen-printing comparable results as with pure silver pastes can be achieved but with a potentially reduced silver consumption of 30%. Median efficiencies of 21.6% are achieved in both cases utilizing a five busbar cell design. A second approach to reduce the silver consumption is the use of inkjet-printing. The influence of the inkjet-printed layer number per contact finger on the cell performance of busbarless cells is investigated. A maximum conversion efficiency of 23.3% of an inkjet-printed solar cell is achieved within this study. Thirdly, a novel printing technology established at Fraunhofer ISE, called FlexTrail-printing, is introduced. By utilizing the same Ag nanoparticle ink like in the case of inkjet-printing, the finger width is reduced from 75 ± 1 μm down to 16 ± 1 μm on alkaline textured SHJ solar cells. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the smallest feature size ever published on ITO-coated, textured silicon surfaces. A maximum conversion efficiency of 23.7% is measured (busbarless cell). Only 0.3 ± 0.1 mg Ag nanoparticle ink is consumed during FlexTrail-printing on a large-area wafer with a front grid of 80 fingers.

Effect of PVP-Capped ZnO Nanoparticles with Enhanced Charge Transport on the Performance of P3HT/PCBM Polymer Solar Cells
摘要： We attempted surface modification in ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by the sol–gel process with polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) applied to bulk-heterojunction polymer solar cells (PSCs) as an electron transport layer (ETL). In general, ZnO NPs have trap sites due to oxygen vacancies which capture electrons and degrade the performance of the PSCs. Devices with six different PVP:Zn ratios (0.615 g, 1.230 g, 1.846 g, 2.460 g, 3.075 g, and 3.690 g) were fabricated for surface modification, and the optimized PVP:Zn ratio (2.460 g) was found for PSCs based on P3HT/PCBM. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the fabricated PSCs with PVP-capped ZnO exhibited a significant increase of approximately 21% in PCE and excellent air-stability as compared with the uncapped ZnO-based PSCs.

Regulating the Phase Separation of Ternary Organic Solar Cells via 3D Architectured AIE Molecules
摘要： An optimized bulk heterojunction (BHJ) interface, certifying enhanced exciton-splitting, charge separation and recombination inhibition, is vastly desired to obtain high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). Herein, the ternary strategy has been employed to effectively modify the phase separation between the J71:ITIC blend by incorporating a 3D aggregation-induced emission (AIE) material, Tetraphenylethylene (TPE). Hence, as a consequence of improved charge mobility, lower bimolecular recombination and enhanced fill factor (FF), an excellent PCE of 12.16% has been achieved; a 21.23% increment over the PCE of binary devices. Likewise, Flory-Huggins parameter (c ) and surface free energy analysis reveals a high degree of miscibility between J71 and TPE, that leads to a rearrangement at the D-A interface such that TPE settles in between the D and A and thus forces the ITIC away from J71 and out of the mixed phase, indicating relatively higher average acceptor domain purity at the interface and ultimately better FF and PCE for the ternary devices. Likewise, TPE inclusion in various other fullerene and nonfullerene systems also leads to similar results, signifying this to be an effective methodology to boost the PCEs of the organic solar cells, especially for the systems with low FF.

Enhanced photovoltaic performance and stability of planar perovskite solar cells by introducing dithizone
摘要： In the two-step spin-coating method, the crystallization and morphology of PbI2 film are essential for producing highly efficient and stable planar heterojunction (PHJ) perovskite solar cells. In this work, the dithizone (DTZ) molecules were introduced into PbI2 precursor to improve the performance of perovskite films. We found that adding DTZ was an effective method to retard the crystallization of PbI2 film and consequently, produced a high-quality perovskite film with pinhole-free, smoother, and fewer defects surface. Most importantly, the presence of residual DTZ in wet PbI2 film also assisted DMSO to slow down the growth of perovskite grains. By tuning the concentration of DTZ, the power conversion efficiency of the best performed cell has increased to 20.66% with negligible photocurrent hysteresis. Meanwhile, the best DTZ device offer an excellent stability, which retained 97% of the initial PCE after storage in the dark for approximately 24 days. We expect this controlled crystallization method could be further explored and provides a useful strategy to improve the performance of perovskite solar cells.

Enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution over TiO2/g-C3N4 2D heterojunction coupled with plasmon Ag nanoparticles
摘要： 2D heterojunction based on g-C3N4 nanosheets with other semiconductor nanosheets is a promising way to improve photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE) activity over g-C3N4. However, current 2D heterojunction based on g-C3N4 are unsatisfactory due to their insu?cient absorption of visible light and ine?cient charge separation. In this work, Ag/TiO2/g-C3N4 nanocomposites based on 2D heterojunction coupling with Ag surface plasmon resonance (SPR) were synthesized by a method combining facile wetness impregnation calcination. The PHE activity of Ag/TiO2/g-C3N4 nanocomposites is attributed to the TiO2/g-C3N4 2D heterojunction and bare g-C3N4 nanosheet under visible light irradiation, indicating a cooperative e?ect between Ag and TiO2/g-C3N4 2D heterojunction. As a result of SPR e?ect, the composites strongly absorb visible light. In addition, the oscillating hot electrons from Ag can easily transfer to 2D heterojunction. This synergistic e?ect lead to su?cient visible light absorption and e?cient charge separation of 2D heterojunction, which improved the PHE activity of g-C3N4. This work indicates that loading metal nanoparticles on 2D heterojunction as metal SPR-2D heterojunction nanocomposites may be a potential method for harvesting visible light for PHE.

Impact of Donor–Acceptor Interaction and Solvent Additive on the Vertical Composition Distribution of Bulk-Heterojunction Polymer Solar Cells
摘要： The vertical composition distribution of bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) photoactive layer is known to have dramatic effects on photovoltaic performance in polymer solar cells. However, the vertical composition distribution evolution rules of BHJ films are still elusive. In this contribution, three BHJ film systems, composed of polymer donor PBDB-T and three different classes of acceptor –fullerene acceptor PCBM, small molecule acceptor ITIC, and polymer acceptor N2200 –are systematically investigated using neutron reflectometry to examine how donor–acceptor interaction and solvent additive impact the vertical composition distribution. Our results show that those three BHJ films possess homogeneous vertical composition distributions across the bulk of the film. While very different composition accumulations near the top and bottom surface were observed which could be attributed to different repulsion, miscibility, and phase separation between the donor and acceptor components as approved by the measurement of donor–acceptor Flory–Huggins interaction parameter χ. Moreover, the solvent additive 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) can induce more distinct vertical composition distribution especially in non-fullerene acceptor based BHJ films. Thus, higher power conversion efficiencies were achieved in inverted solar cells because of facilitated charge transport in active layer, improved carrier collection at electrodes, suppressed charge recombination in BHJ solar cells.

Interfacial growth of the optimal BiVO4 nanoparticles onto self-assembled WO3 nanoplates for efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting
摘要： Photoelectrochemical water splitting is the most efficient green engineering approach to convert the sun light into hydrogen energy. The formation of high surface area core-shell heterojunction with enhanced light-harvesting efficiency, elevated charge separation, and transport are key parameters in achieving the ideal water splitting performance of the photoanode. Herein, we demonstrate a first green engineering interfacial growth of the BiVO4 nanoparticles onto self-assembled WO3 nanoplates forming WO3/BiVO4 core-shell heterojunction for efficient PEC water splitting performance. The three different WO3 nanostructures (nanoplates, nanobricks, and stacked nanosheets) were self-assembled on fluorine doped tin oxide glass substrates via hydrothermal route at various pH (0.8–1.2) of the solutions. In comparison to nanobricks and stacked nanosheets, WO3 nanoplates displayed considerably elevated photocurrent density. Moreover, a simple and low cost green approach of modified chemical bath deposition technique was established for the optimal decoration of a BiVO4 nanoparticles on vertically aligned WO3 nanoplates. The boosted photoelectrochemical current density of 1.7 mA cm?2 at 1.23 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) under AM 1.5 G illumination was achieved for the WO3/BiVO4 heterojunction which can be attributed to a suitable band alignment for the efficient charge transfer from BiVO4 to WO3, increased light harvesting capability of outer BiVO4 layer, and high charge transfer efficiency of WO3 nanoplates.

Non-epitaxial carrier selective contacts for III-V solar cells: A review
摘要： In the last few years, carrier selective contacts have emerged as a means to reduce the complexities and losses associated with conventional doped p-n junction solar cells. Still, this topic of research is only at its infancy for III-V solar cells, in comparison to other solar cell materials such as silicon, perovskites, chalcogenides, etc. This could be because high quality III-V solar cell materials can be achieved relatively easily using epitaxial growth techniques such as MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition) and MBE (molecular-beam epitaxy). However, current epitaxial III-V solar cells are very expensive and cannot compete for the terrestrial market, and therefore, researchers are developing alternative growth methods such as thin-film vapor–liquid–solid (TF-VLS), hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) and closed space vapor transport (CSVT), which are significantly lower in cost compared to epitaxial III-V solar cells. However, at present, these relatively nascent low cost growth methods, face severe optimization issues when it comes to growth of controlled p-n junction, along with heavily doped window and back surface field layers. In such cases, carrier selective contacts can be hugely beneficial. In this review, we cover some of the most recent research on the use of carrier selective contacts for III-V solar cells. Future prospects, challenges, and new device concepts using carrier selective contacts will also be discussed.

WS2 quantum dots seeding in Bi2S3 nanotubes: A novel Vis-NIR light sensitive photocatalyst with low-resistance junction interface for CO2 reduction
摘要： Efficient photocatalysts sensitive to visible and near infrared lights have attracted increased concerns owing to the high utilization efficiency of solar energy. Herein, WS2 quantum dots (WS2 QDs) doped Bi2S3 nanotubes with smooth surface were constructed by seed-mediated strategy with WS2 QDs as seeds, which show sensitive response to Vis-NIR lights. In WS2@Bi2S3 structure, exposed S atoms in WS2 QDs combined Bi3+ ions to form Bi-S bonds, and enabled the S-sharing between WS2 and Bi2S3 unit cells. The perfect junction interface between WS2 and Bi2S3 is straight and smooth without any disordered atoms, endowing low resistance for fast electron transfer on the interface and efficient separation of electron-hole pairs. Compared with pristine Bi2S3 nanotubes, the WS2@Bi2S3 nanotubes display enhanced photocatalytic activity in CO2 reduction, with 38.2 μmol g-1 of methanol and 27.8 μmol g-1 of ethanol achieved at optimal WS2 loading content (4 wt%) under Vis-NIR light irradiation for 4 h. It is proposed that the low-resistance interface between WS2@Bi2S3 heterojunction and the regulated electron pathway along Bi2S3 nanotubes account for the high photocatalytic activity, which enables WS2@Bi2S3 a promising and unique photocatalyst, and indicates a new direction for light harvest.
