Solar Cells with High Short Circuit Currents Based on CsPbBr <sub/>3</sub> Perovskite-Modified ZnO Nanorod Composites
摘要： 3-D all-inorganic perovskite solar cells have been built using vertically aligned conductive zinc oxide nanorods as the electron transport layer and optical waveguide. Yttrium doping improved the conductivity and hence the electron transportation of the ZnO achieving a threefold improvement of the solar cell efficiency. The vertically aligned nanorods act as optical waveguides and a scaffold, which improved photoabsorption of the perovskite semiconductor by increasing layer thickness. Our device structure was completed with an exfoliated multilayer graphite back contact for effective hole-extraction. The ZnO was most significantly modified by nanometre scale coatings of TiO2 in order to passivate the surface and reduce charge recombination, as measured by photoluminescence spectroscopy. This led to greatly improved charge transfer. This strategy led to an overall nine times enhancement in the solar cell efficiency, yielding a competitive top value of 5.83%. More importantly, the all-inorganic solar cells demonstrated excellent stability, showing no decline in initial performance after 1000 hour storage in ambient conditions. This work presents yttrium doped ZnO nanorods as a suitable replacement for mesoporous TiO2, achieving a high short circuit current of 10.5 mA cm-2 for CsPbBr3 perovskite devices.

Tailored TiO <sub/>2</sub> Protection Layer Enabled Efficient and Stable Microdome Structured pa??GaAs Photoelectrochemical Cathodes
摘要： Group III–V compound semiconductors are a promising group of materials for photoelectrochemical (PEC) applications. In this work, a metal assisted wet etching approach is adapted to acquiring a large-area patterned microdome structure on p-GaAs surface. In addition, atomic layer deposition is used to deposit a TiO2 protection layer with controlled thickness and crystallinity. Based on a PEC photocathode design, the optimal configuration achieves a photocurrent of ?5 mA cm?2 under ?0.8 V versus Ag/AgCl in a neutral pH electrolyte. The TiO2 coating with a particular degree of crystallization deposited via controlled temperature demonstrates a superior stability over amorphous coating, enabling a remarkably stable operation, for as long as 60 h. The enhanced charge separation induced by favorable band alignment between GaAs and TiO2 contributes simultaneously to the elevated solar conversion efficiency. This approach provides a promising solution to further development of group III–V compounds and other photoelectrodes with high efficiency and excellent durability for solar fuel generation.

TiO <sub/>2</sub> coating prepared by mechanical alloying treatment for photocatalytic degradation
摘要： In this study, a nanostructured TiO2 coating was successfully prepared on a large-scale titanium plate by a simple one-step surface mechanical alloying (SMA) treatment. The coating was characterised to determine the morphological and composition changes with SMA. The coating was ～60 μm thick and composed of 5 nm diameter rutile TiO2 particles. The photocatalytic activity of the nanostructured TiO2 coating was studied via the ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) decolorisation of aqueous rhodamine-B. The results showed that the photocatalytic degradation e?ect in 5 h of the f30 mm nanostructured TiO2 coating was comparable to that of 20 mg raw TiO2 under similar UV–visible light irradiation. One-step SMA was demonstrated as an appropriate method to produce a high-performance photocatalytic plate.
