Design, Synthesis and Photophysical Analysis of New Unsymmetrical Carbazole-Based Dyes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
摘要： The molecular design, synthesis, and characterization of di-anchoring carbazole-based dyes (Car-Cy, Car-Amin, and Car-Mal) with A-π-D-π-A-π-A structure as materials for dye-sensitized solar cells applications (DSSCs) are reported. The electron-rich carbazole moiety in the structure of synthesized dyes is connected with acceptor/ or anchoring groups (cyanoacetic acid, 4-aminobenzoic acid, and malonic acid) and π-spacers (vinylene and cynovinyl thiophene). Electronic characteristics and molecular geometry of the sensitizers were optimized using Density Functional Theory (DFT), and the influence of dye structure on their photovoltaic performances was studied. Among the synthesized dyes in this research, Car-Amin dye presents a better photovoltaic performance as a sensitizer in the constructed device, with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.27%, JSC of 5.95 mAcm?2, VOC of 0.54 V and FF of 71%. The enhanced performance of this dye could be related to the powerful electron-withdrawing characteristic of the 4-aminobenzoic acid as an acceptor group in the dye structure. Consequently, the impact of various acceptor groups on the constructed DSSC devices was examined, and the results indicated that the improvement of DSSC performance is due to the presence of 4-aminobenzoic acid as acceptor on the carbazole-based dyes.

Efficiency Enhancement of Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 Solar Cells by Indium-doped CdS Buffer Layer
摘要： Improving power conversion efficiency of photovoltaic devices has been widely investigated, however, most of researches mainly focus on the modification of the absorber layer. Here, we present an approach to enhance the efficiency of Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 (CIGSSe) thin-film solar cells simply by tuning the CdS buffer layer. The CdS buffer layer was deposited by chemical bath deposition. Indium doping was done during the growth process by adding InCl3 into the growing aqueous solution. We show that the solar cell efficiency is increased by properly Indium doping. Based on the characteristics of the single CdS (with or without In-doping) layer and of the CIGSSe/CdS interface, we conclude that the efficiency enhancement is attributed to the interface-defect passivation of heterojunction, which significantly improves both open circuit voltage and fill factor. The results were supported by SCAPS simulations, which suggest that our approach can also be applied to other buffer systems.

Performance enhancement of inverted perovskite solar cells through interface engineering by TPD based bidentate self-assembled monolayers
摘要： Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have recently appeared as a promising photovoltaic technology and attracted great interest in both photovoltaic industry and academic community. Numerous active researches related to the material processing and operational aspects of device fabrication are under progress since PSCs have a great potential for attaining higher performance compared to that of other solar cell technologies. In particular, interfacial engineering is a crucial issue for obtaining high efficiency in solar cells where perovskite absorber layer is deposited between hole and electron transport layers. In inverted type architecture, PEDOT:PSS is used as both hole transport layer and surface modifier; but unfortunately, this material bears instability due to its acidic nature. Thus, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) not only are considered as suitable alternative, but also their application is regarded as an efficient and cost effective method to modify electrode surface since it provides a robust and stable surface coverage. In this context, we have employed two novel N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N'-diphenylbenzidine (TPD) based SAM molecules to customize indium tin oxide (ITO) surface in inverted type PSCs. Furthermore, fine-tuning of spacer groups enables us to study device performance depending on molecular structure. This study proposes promising materials for anode interface engineering and provides a feasible approach for production of organic semiconductor based SAMs to achieve high performance PSCs.

The mathematical and experimental analysis on the steady-state operating temperature of bifacial photovoltaic modules
摘要： The operating temperature of bifacial photovoltaic (PV) module affects its power generation and reliability. Combined with view factor model of ground reflectivity on module backside, a thermal steady-state model is established to analyze the thermal performance of bifacial module in this paper. The module operating temperatures under three different installation conditions of roof cement ground, water surface and grassland are calculated and simulated by ANSYS software, and the experiments are designed to analyze and verify it. Based on the difference of reflectivity and heat capacity of different ground for the PV module installation, the effects of ground type and module material on bifacial module temperature and its mechanism are analyzed quantitatively. According to the simulation and experiment results, the operating temperatures of the bifacial modules installed on the roof cement ground, water surface and grassland are 44.7 (cid:1)C, 41.5 (cid:1)C, 43.2 (cid:1)C respectively, under the setting environment condition with specific irradiance, wind speed and ambient temperature. The temperature difference of 1.7 (cid:1)C e3.2 (cid:1)C is caused by ground reflectivity and temperature. The operating temperature difference between glass-glass and glass-backsheet module is less than 0.4 (cid:1)C under the standard condition. The conductivity and emissivity of encapsulation material does not show strong influence on module operating temperature.

Synthesis and characterization of Sb doped SnO<sub>2</sub> for the photovoltaic applications: different route
摘要： Antimony doped tin oxide (ATO - Sn0.92O2:Sb0.08) nanoparticles were synthesized by different chemical routes such as Hydrothermal (HT), Sol-gel (SG) and Sonochemical (SC) methods. The XRD pattern of the samples shows that Sb ion successfully incorporated into Sn lattice without altering the crystal structure. Optical spectral analysis of the samples indicates more absorption in the visible region. The vibrational modes of the ATO nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR spectra. DSSCs were fabricated with the as-prepared ATO nanoparticles from different routes, Eosin-Y dye, I-/I3- redox couple as electrolyte. I-V characteristics of the as fabricated devices were recorded to estimate the efficiency of the device. Our results indicate the DSSC fabricated using the hydrothermally prepared material is to be considered as a suitable optical window material for dye and good electrolyte to achieve higher open circuit voltage (VOC). Further, the anode fabricated using the hydrothermally synthesized ATO nanoparticle gives good efficiency (η = 4.15%) comparing to the DSSCs fabricated using NPs synthesized via other methods. Hence, hydrothermally prepared material is to be considered as a suitable optical window materials for DSSCs.

Imaging Dye Aggregation in MK-2, N3, N749, and SQ-2 dye?·?·?·TiO <sub/>2</sub> Interfaces That Represent Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Working Electrodes
摘要： Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a strong contender for next-generation photovoltaic technology with niche applications as solar-powered windows. The performance of a DSSC is particularly susceptible to the dye sensitizer, which is adsorbed onto the surface of a wide-band-gap semiconductor such as TiO2, to form the working electrode. The nature by which such surfaces are sensitized stands to influence the resulting dye···TiO2 interfacial structure and thence the operational performance of the DSSC working electrode. In particular, a nanoscopic understanding of the sensitization process would ultimately help to improve DSSC device function. In this study, atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to image the nanoscopic formation of dye···TiO2 interfacial structures. This employs, as case studies, four well-known DSSC dyes adsorbed onto amorphous TiO2 substrates: two ruthenium-based dyes, N3 and the Black Dye (N749); and two organic dyes, the thiophenylcarbazole, MK-2, and the zwitterionic squaraine, SQ-2. We discover that all four dyes present some form of aggregation upon sensitization of TiO2, whose spatial distributions show distinct nanoaggregate particle characteristics. These particle clusters of N749, N3, and MK-2 are found to assemble in lines of nanoaggregates, while clusters of SQ-2 dye chromophores distribute themselves randomly on the amorphous TiO2 substrates. This nanoparticle structural assembly persists even when these dye···TiO2 interfaces are fabricated using hundred-fold diluted dye sensitization concentrations. The formation of dye aggregates in N749 is further studied as a function of dye sensitization time. This tracks the pattern formation of aggregates of N749 and reveals that dye aggregation begins within the first hour and has completed within a 5 h period. The large expanse of dye nanoaggregates observed shows that dye···dye interactions are much more important than previously envisaged, while the nature of their spatial distribution can be related to different aggregation modes of the dye molecules. These nanostructural features will undoubtedly impact the performance of DSSCs.

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.

摘要： Energy harvesting is generally defined as the collection of light, heat, vibration, and energy sources such as electromagnetic waves, and converting into electricity to provide the equipment itself with enough energy to maintain normal operation. This research uses sunlight to convert into energy output. It controls the voltage of the output by controlling the duty of the PWM technology. The system requires a DC/DC design and the output has a large capacitance. And the DC/DC post-stage filtering must be good. CIGS solar cells (efficiency of about 20%) are composed of Cu, In, Ga, and Se in a specific ratio, and have a wider wavelength range and absorption coefficient than tantalum materials.

[IEEE 2019 4th International Conference on Electrical Information and Communication Technology (EICT) - Khulna, Bangladesh (2019.12.20-2019.12.22)] 2019 4th International Conference on Electrical Information and Communication Technology (EICT) - Thickness and Doping Optimization of CdS/CIGS P-i-N Photovoltaic Cell: Envisioned for Enhanced Conversion Efficiency
摘要： In this work, a high efficiency CdS/CIGS P-i-N solar cell has been proposed and delineated incorporating CIGS as an intrinsic layer and an immensely doped CIGS as a graded p-type layer. As ensued from our simulation, a conversion efficiency of 20.94% is attained with the coalescence of highly doped TCO layer (ZnO), n-type CdS window layer, CIGS as intrinsic layer and an ungraded (fixed doping concentration) CIGS absorber layer. It is construed that after introducing the graded (several doping concentrations) p-type absorber layer, the efficiency conspicuously amplified to a significant extent. At AM 1.5 solar radiation, the proposed graded cell structure yields an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.726 V, a short circuit current density (Jsc) of 57.72 mAcm-2, a maximum power density of 35.27 mWcm-2 and a fill factor (FF) of 84%, conforming to an overall efficiency (η) of 29.69%.

摘要： Narrow bandgap p-i-n dilute nitride GaInNAsSb junctions, for use as bottom cell in 6-junction solar cells, are reported. In particular, we demonstrate a high optical quality for GaInNAsSb junction with a bandgap ~0.78 eV, corresponding to a N content of 6.2%.

By extracting the parameters of the experimental cell, we estimate the the AM0 efficiency of a 6-junction multijunction solar cell employing the GaInNAsSb junction, to attain a value of 33%. Further improvements are discussed towards achieving the full potential of the 6-junction design.
