Semiconducting Langmuir-Blodgett Films of Porphyrin Paddle-Wheel Frameworks for Photoelectric Conversion
摘要： Understanding the photocurrent transportation within porphyrin-containing metal-organic frameworks (PMOFs) will be a critical step for applying these materials in light-harvesting molecular devices in the future. Two copper porphyrin paddle-wheel frameworks (Cu-PPFs) were employed to study the influence of metal ions coordinated into the porphyrin ligands on conductivity and photoelectron transfer capability. To compare the electronic and optical properties of both materials, we prepared an ultra-thin film of each PPF via a Langmuir-Blodgett method. The resulting films exhibited uniform morphology and single-crystalline domains, in addition to photoelectric conversion capabilities. We confirmed both Cu-PPFs have semiconducting properties with an optical bandgap around 2.7 eV. The current density generated by both Cu-PPFs were studied through a mercury drop junction approach. We observed a slightly higher conductivity from the Cu-PPF film consisting of metalloporphyrins than the one without copper doping in the porphyrin centers. In addition, the copper ions coordinated porphyrins were found to be more favorable for facilitating photo-induced electron transfer from the Cu-PPF film to a conductive glass substrate. This work presents a new approach of combining thin film fabrication and electro-heterojunction measurement to study electron transfer within an ultra-thin film.

Amplified photoelectrochemical immunoassay for the tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 724 based on dye sensitization of the semiconductor composite C3N4-MoS2
摘要： The authors describe an amplified photoelectrochemical immunoassay for the tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724). The method employs a C3N4-MoS2 semiconductor as the photoelectric conversion layer. The nanocomposite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and UV-vis diffuse reflectometry. The dye eosin Y was encapsulated into CaCO3 nanospheres which then were used as labels for antibody against CA724. In addition, Fe3O4 nanospheres were employed as magnetic platform for constructing photoelectrochemical sandwich immunoassay. The CaCO3 nanospheres can be dissolved with aid of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and the carried eosin Y in CaCO3 is released. The released dyes sensitizes the C3N4-MoS2 semiconductor, which induces photocurrent amplification. Under optimal conditions and at a typical working voltage of 0 V (vs. SCE), the photocurrent increases linearly in the range of 0.05 mU mL?1 to 500 mU mL?1 of CA724, with a 0.02 mU mL?1 detection limit.

Largea??area Luminescent Downshifting Layer containing Eu3+ Complex for Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells
摘要： The spectral mismatch between the distribution of sunlight (AM1.5G) and crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells is one of the most limiting factors for the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) devices. As an effective solution, luminescent down-shifting (LDS) technique is an important way to improve the short-wavelength response of a solar cell by shifting high-energy photons to the visible range. Herein, large-area (17×17 cm2) luminescent thin film consisting of ternary europium (Eu3+) complex and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was successfully constructed through solution casting method, and further developed as an effective LDS layer to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of c-Si solar cells with large active area (235 cm2). The self-standing LDS layer is both flexible, transparent and easily attachable to the surface of solar cell module. Compared with the uncoated c-Si solar cell, one coated with LDS layer displayed an enhancement of ~15% in external quantum efficiency (EQE) due to the highly luminescent quantum yield of Eu3+ complex doped inside the layer. These results demonstrate that large area luminescent film embedding Eu3+ complex is a versatile and effective strategy to improve the conversion efficiency of large size PV devices, giving rise to great potential applications as LDS materials.

Arbitrary control of the diffusion potential between a plasmonic metal and a semiconductor by an angstrom-thick interface dipole layer
摘要： Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) are gaining considerable attention due to the unique far-field and near-field optical properties and applications. Additionally, the Fermi energy, which is the chemical potential, of plasmonic nanoparticles is one of the key properties to control hot-electron and -hole transfer at the interface between plasmonic nanoparticles and a semiconductor. In this article, we tried to control the diffusion potential of the plasmonic system by manipulating the interface dipole. We fabricated solid-state photoelectric conversion devices in which gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) are located between strontium titanate (SrTiO3) as an electron transfer material and nickel oxide (NiO) as a hole transport material. Lanthanum aluminate as an interface dipole layer was deposited on the atomic layer scale at the three-phase interface of Au-NPs, SrTiO3, and NiO, and the effect was investigated by photoelectric measurements. Importantly, the diffusion potential between the plasmonic metal and a semiconductor can be arbitrarily controlled by the averaged thickness and direction of the interface dipole layer. The insertion of an only one unit cell (uc) interface dipole layer, whose thickness was less than 0.5 nm, dramatically controlled the diffusion potential formed between the plasmonic nanoparticles and surrounding media. This is a new methodology to control the plasmonic potential without applying external stimuli, such as an applied potential or photoirradiation, and without changing the base materials. In particular, it is very beneficial for plasmonic devices in that the interface dipole has the ability not only to decrease but also to increase the open-circuit voltage on the order of several hundreds of millivolts.

Theoretical and experimental investigations on the bulk photovoltaic effect in lead-free perovskites MASnI <sub/>3</sub> and FASnI <sub/>3</sub>
摘要： Perovskite solar cells based on the lead free hybrid organic–inorganic CH3NH3SnI3 (MASnI3) and CH4N2SnI3 (FASnI3) perovskites were fabricated, and the photoelectric conversion e?ciency (PCE) was assessed. FASnI3's PCE was higher than MASnI3's e?ciency. To study the di?erent photovoltaic properties, we calculated their structural, electronic, and optical properties using density functional theory via the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof and spin–orbit coupling (PBE-SOC) methods. The results show that FASnI3 exhibits an appropriate band gap, substantial stability, marked optical properties, and signi?cant hole and electron conductive behavior compared with MASnI3. The interaction of organic cations (FA+) with the inorganic framework of FASnI3 was stronger than that with MASnI3, so they a?ected the band length and band angle distribution, causing the structure of the FASnI3 and MASnI3 to change. The calculations also demonstrated that energy splitting was evident in FASnI3 due to the spin–orbit coupling e?ect, however, it was moderate in MASnI3, which was caused by the H bond e?ect. This research not only furthers the understanding of these functional materials, but also can assist the development of highly e?cient and stable non-lead perovskite solar cells.

The influence of the pyramidal texture uniformity and process optimization on monocrystalline silicon solar cells
摘要： To improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of monocrystalline silicon solar cells, the influence of the pyramidal texture uniformity on the defects in the monocrystalline silicon cells was analyzed by simulation, and the uniformity of the pyramidal texture was quantitatively characterized with the uniformity coefficient. The texturing process parameters were optimized by fitting and optimizing the uniformity coefficient. In the experiments herein, four groups of textured monocrystalline silicon wafers were obtained by treating them with a 1.2% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution for four different times. The uniformity coefficient of each monocrystalline silicon wafer group was obtained. By fitting the uniformity coefficient, we obtained the texturing process parameters corresponding to the maximum uniformity coefficient. The experimental results show that the optimized monocrystalline silicon cell achieved a pyramidal texture with a maximum uniformity coefficient. In addition, the reflectivity of the monocrystalline silicon cell reached a minimum value, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency reached a maximum value. The uniformity coefficient can not only effectively quantify the uniformity of the pyramidal texture but also effectively optimize the texturing process parameters to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of monocrystalline silicon cells.

A downshifting Eu3+ doped glass embedded with concave pyramid microstructure to improve the efficiency of silicon solar cell
摘要： The average photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of a bare mono crystalline silicon solar cell is 14.71(±0.03)% under AM1.5. It decreases to 14.20(±0.005)% when covering an un-doped flat glass on the solar cell, and it goes down to 14.10(±0.005)% by using a 5 wt% Eu3+ doped glass. The absorptions of the Eu3+ doped CPM glass one-to-one match the excitation spectrum at 362, 381, 393, 400, 413 and 464 nm, which are related to the transitions of 7F0→(5D4, 5G2, 5L6, 5D3), 7F1→5D3, and 7F0→5D2, respectively. In addition, a concave pyramid microstructure (CPM) is embedded in the glass surface to increase light transmittance. The average PCE increases to 14.61(±0.07)% when a 5 wt% Eu3+ doped CPM glass covers on the silicon solar cell. Comparing to the un-doped flat glass, a net increase of the PCE is 0.41%, where the 0.16% increment of PCE is from the lighting trapping of the CPM structure, and the downshifting of near ultraviolet (NUV) light by Eu3+ ion donates the other 0.25% increment. It confirms that the as-prepared Eu3+ doped CPM glass has a good downshifting and antireflection function.

Preparation of novel lead-free Ag-doped glass frit for polycrystalline silicon solar cells by sol-gel method
摘要： A novel Ag-doped glass frit is prepared by the sol-gel method. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms indicate that the frit has a large BET surface area and a small particle size which promotes front contact metallization. When the glass frit is used for the front contact electrode of polycrystalline silicon solar cells (pc-Si solar cells), it exhibits excellent wettability and etching results on the SiNx layer and the Si substrate. The pc-Si solar cells with the as-prepared frit has a better photoelectric conversion efficiency (18.2%) and is 0.8% higher than the solar cells using the conventional frit, which is due to the frit will produce a lot of Ag nanocrystals at the interface of the glass layer, promoting the formation of excellent ohmic contact between the Ag electrode and n-Si layer, and reducing the contact resistance of solar cells.

Enhanced light harvest in dye-sensitized solar cells by nanocrystals-on-microcrystals TiO <sub/>2</sub> photoanode
摘要： In this paper, we discuss the new design of a DSSC using a photoanode by inserting TiO2 particles in size of sub-micron into the photoanode with small nanoparticles. The experimental results point out that the uniform mixing of TiO2 nanoparticles can increase the photocurrent density, and then obviously improve the ef?ciency of DSSC. The best performance was achieved when the mass ratio of sub-micron particles was 5%, and the power conversion ef?ciency was 5.58%, which is 20% higher than pure TiO2 nanoparticles. This nanocrystals-on-microcrystals TiO2 photoanode can be used in DSSC with high yield for large-scale production.
