Design of Mn-doped CdxZn1-xSe@ZnO triple-shelled hollow microspheres for quantum dots sensitized solar cells with improved photovoltaic performance
摘要： Mn-CdxZn1-xSe@ZnO multi-shelled (including single-shelled, double-shelled, and triple-shelled) hollow microspheres (HMS) were successfully synthesized for application in quantum dots sensitized solar cell (QDSSC). The influence of shell numbers on photovoltaic performance of QDSSC were investigated. The results showed that larger surface area, repeated light reflection and reinforced light scattering can be achieved with triple-shelled HMS, which can improve light harvesting efficiency. Furthermore, midgap state created by Mn-doping in CdxZn1-xSe will facilitate electrons injection and collection from excited CdxZn1-xSe quantum dots (QDs) to ZnO. The multi-shelled effects and Mn-doping finally improve the short-circuit current (Jsc) of Mn-CdxZn1-xSe@ZnO tripled-shelled HMS solar cell to 20.21 mA cm?2, leading to the power conversion efficiency significantly enhanced to 3.39%.

In situ synthesis of ternary nickel iron selenides with high performance applied in dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： Comparing with the binary chalcogenides, the ternary chalcogenides may achieve higher electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity due to the synergistic effect of the different metal cations. Herein, ternary nickel iron selenide (Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2) was fabricated through a facile one-pot solvothermal method with the assistance of glucose for the first time. The dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were assembled with the as-prepared Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2 as counter electrode (CE). Electrochemical measurements indicated that the Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2 possessed small electron transfer resistance at the interface between electrode and electrolyte, great electrocatalytic activity and reaction kinetics toward the reduction of triiodide. Compared with conventional Pt CE (7.24%), the DSSCs based on Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2 CE achieved a greater power conversion efficiency of 7.89%. Furthermore, this study provides a new idea and strategy with convenient method to synthesize Pt-free alternative materials.

Preparation of hierarchical flower-like nickel sulfide as hole transporting material for organic solar cells via a one-step solvothermal method
摘要： In this work, nickel sulfide (NiS) with a mesoporous network was prepared through a simple solvothermal approach. The influences of various contents of the sulfur source on the morphological changes were examined. Finally, the resultant NiS doped with various contents of sulfur were used as hole-transport layers (HTLs) for the application to organic solar cells (OSCs). Based on our knowledge of the implementation of OSCs, NiS-based HTLs are used for the first time in this paper. The OSCs developed with NiS_2.0 (NiS doped with 2.0 g of thioacetamide (sulfur source)) HTL showed a higher PCE response, at 2.28% than those fabricated with NiS_1.0 (NiS doped with 1.0 g of thioacetamide), NiS_1.5, (NiS doped with 1.5 g of thioacetamide), and NiS_2.5 (NiS doped with 2.5 g of thioacetamide), which only showed 1.38%, 1.88%, and 1.96%, respectively. Besides this improved photovoltaic response, it also demonstrated a superior reproducibility with a high degree of control over the environmental stability, i.e., 360 h, as compared to the bare PEDOT:PSS HTL-based OSCs, which showed just 240 h.

Bulk luminescent solar concentrators based on organic-inorganic CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite fluorophores
摘要： In this paper, we report characterization and performance results of lead bromide perovskite luminescent solar concentrator. CH3NH3PbBr3 fluorophores are synthesized by sonication method and examined by their X-ray diffraction pattern and scanning electron microscopy. Synthesized perovskite shows excitonic absorption at 524 nm and PL emission peak located at 532 nm with a Stokes shift around 8 nm. Micron-sized fluorophores are dissolved in prepared solutions and uniformly embedded in PMMA host with 0.006–0.120%wt concentration. Then, Fabricated devices are cut into 50 × 30 × 5 mm cuboid shapes and placed in a mirror surrounded configuration with an attached photovoltaic cell. Fabricated device is put under standard AM1.5 illumination and the output spectrum from the concentrator is acquired. Re-absorption in the samples is also measured by variable optical path method, showing red-shifts up to 13 nm in the output spectrum. Spatially resolved photo-luminescence maps and optical efficiencies are also presented for each sample. Plus, a Monte-Carlo ray tracing algorithm is developed to assist better understanding the experimental results. Stability of fabricated samples are evaluated under high intensity UV illumination, reporting efficiency reduction around 15% after 24 h. Finally, Comparing current-voltage characterization of the attached photovoltaic cell reveals optimized efficiency enhancement in the 0.04%wt sample above 65%.

Electrospun carbon nanofibers decorated with Pt-Ni2P nanoparticles as high efficiency counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： Carbon nanofibers (CNs) supported by Pt and Ni2P nanoparticles (Pt-Ni2P/CNs) are successfully synthesized and explored as counter electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) for the first time. Pt and Ni2P nanoparticles are prepared by stabilization and carbonization of electrospun nanofibers, and subsequently controllable Pt and Ni2P nanoparticles are grown on surface of CNs obtained through redox reaction. A series of electrochemical measurements analysis confirm that the Pt-Ni2P/CNs composite have simultaneously superior electrocatalytic activity and enhanced electrical conductivity compared with those of individual CNs and Pt. Accordingly, DSSCs using the composite Pt-Ni2P/CNs as a counter electrode exhibit a excellent photovoltaic performance (power conversion efficiency of 9.11%), which is much higher than conventional Pt/CNs counter electrode (power conversion efficiency of 8.35%), owing to the collective effect of the high electrical conductivity originated from carbon nanofibers and superior electrocatalytic activity arising from Pt/CNs nanoparticles.

Solubilization of Carbon Nanotubes with Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate for Solution-Processed Conductive Films and Charge Extraction Layers in Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： Carbon nanotube (CNT) solubilization via non-covalent wrapping of conjugated semiconducting polymers is a common technique used to produce stable dispersions for depositing CNTs from solution. Here, we report the use of a non-conjugated insulating polymer, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), to disperse multi- and single-walled CNTs (MWCNT and SWCNT) in organic solvents. We demonstrate that despite the insulating nature of the EVA, we can produce semitransparent films with conductivities of up to 34 S/cm. We show, using photoluminescence spectroscopy, that the EVA strongly binds to individual CNTs, thus making them soluble, preventing aggregation, and facilitating the deposition of high-quality films. To prove the good electronic properties of this composite, we have fabricated perovskite solar cells using EVA/SWCNTs and EVA/MWCNTs as selective hole contact, obtaining power conversion efficiencies of up to 17.1%, demonstrating that the insulating polymer does not prevent the charge transfer from the active material to the CNTs.

Charge extraction via graded doping of hole transport layers gives highly luminescent and stable metal halide perovskite devices
摘要： One source of instability in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is interfacial defects, particularly those that exist between the perovskite and the hole transport layer (HTL). We demonstrate that thermally evaporated dopant-free tetracene (120 nm) on top of the perovskite layer, capped with a lithium-doped Spiro-OMeTAD layer (200 nm) and top gold electrode, offers an excellent hole-extracting stack with minimal interfacial defect levels. For a perovskite layer interfaced between these graded HTLs and a mesoporous TiO2 electron-extracting layer, its photoluminescence yield reaches 15% compared to 5% for the perovskite layer interfaced between TiO2 and Spiro-OMeTAD alone. For PSCs with graded HTL structure, we demonstrate efficiency of up to 21.6% and an extended power output of over 550 hours of continuous illumination at AM1.5G, retaining more than 90% of the initial performance and thus validating our approach. Our findings represent a breakthrough in the construction of stable PSCs with minimized nonradiative losses.

All-Thin-Film Tandem Cells Based on Liquid Phase Crystallized Silicon and Perovskites
摘要： Combining the emerging perovskite solar cell technology with existing silicon approaches in a tandem cell design offers the possibility for new low-cost high-performance devices. In this study, the potential of liquid phase crystallized silicon (LPC-Si) solar cells as a bottom cell in an all-thin-film tandem device is investigated. By optimizing the current output of a four terminal tandem using optical simulations and state-of-the-art electrical properties of the top and bottom cells, we show that an efficiency of 23.3% can be reached, where 7.2% are attributed to the LPC-Si bottom cell. Including the potential of future developments of both sub cells, efficiencies of over 28% are estimated. Electrical and optical measurements of the bottom cell are performed by attaching a perovskite and a cutoff filter to the front side of the interdigitated back contacted LPC-Si cells. The measurements using a cutoff filter show a high impact of the filtered incident light spectrum on the open circuit voltage of the LPC-Si cell. A comparison of the simulated and measured absorptance shows that especially the optical properties of the transparent conductive oxides and recombination losses in the LPC-Si cause high current losses. Combining the measured data of the filtered LPC-Si cells and the semitransparent perovskite cells, yields a realistic estimation for the efficiency of a state-of-the-art four-terminal tandem device of 19.3%.

MAPbI3/agarose photoactive composite for highly stable unencapsulated perovskite solar cells in humid environment
摘要： Perovskite solar cells, bearing the merits of facile preparaion and remarkable efficiency, has great potential for bringing the photovoltaic industry to a new generation. The photovoltaic market demands high-efficiency, high stability and low-cost fabrication of perovksite solar cells, especially stability to the humid environment for operation. Here, MAPbI3/agarose photoactive material for humid stable unencapsulated devices has been proposed. These solar cells have been operated in ambient humid environment without glove box, exhibiting efficiency up to 14.66% and retain 90% of its PCE after 1392 h and 60% of initial PCE after 1972 h in ambient humid environment (RH>70%) without encapsulation. FTIR and XPS measurements reveal two critical factors for the improved stability. The molecular level interactions between agarose and MAPbI3 passivates the grain boundaries of perovskite thus preventing its degradation. Moreover, the formation of Li+-agarose complex at the interface between perovskite layer and hole conductive layer, effectively prevents the water uptake of MAPbI3 layer. Both effects of passivation and minimization of hygroscopicity of LiTFSI by agarose lower the decomposition speed of perovskite, which obviously increases the power efficiency and stability of device.
