Uniform Sb <sub/>2</sub> S <sub/>3</sub> optical coatings by chemical spray method
摘要: Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3), an environmentally benign material, has been prepared by various deposition methods for use as a solar absorber due to its direct band gap of ≈1.7 eV and high absorption coefficient in the visible light spectrum (1.8 × 105 cm?1 at 450 nm). Rapid, scalable, economically viable and controllable in-air growth of continuous, uniform, polycrystalline Sb2S3 absorber layers has not yet been accomplished. This could be achieved with chemical spray pyrolysis, a robust chemical method for deposition of thin films. We applied a two-stage process to produce continuous Sb2S3 optical coatings with uniform thickness. First, amorphous Sb2S3 layers, likely forming by 3D Volmer–Weber island growth through a molten phase reaction between SbCl3 and SC(NH2)2, were deposited in air on a glass/ITO/TiO2 substrate by ultrasonic spraying of methanolic Sb/S 1:3 molar ratio solution at 200–210 °C. Second, we produced polycrystalline uniform films of Sb2S3 (Eg 1.8 eV) with a post-deposition thermal treatment of amorphous Sb2S3 layers in vacuum at 170 °C, <4 × 10?6 Torr for 5 minutes. The effects of the deposition temperature, the precursor molar ratio and the thermal treatment temperature on the Sb2S3 layers were investigated using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and UV–vis–NIR spectroscopy. We demonstrated that Sb2S3 optical coatings with controllable structure, morphology and optical properties can be deposited by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis in air by tuning of the deposition temperature, the Sb/S precursor molar ratio in the spray solution, and the post-deposition treatment temperature.

Ultra-High Vacuum Annealing-Assisted Quantum Wells Dimensional Tailoring for Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes Efficiency Enhancement
摘要: Quasi-two-dimensional (Q-2D) perovskites featured with multiple dimensional quantum wells (QWs) have been the main candidates for optoelectronic applications. However, the excessive low-dimensional perovskite is unfavorable to the device efficiency due to the phonon-exciton interaction and the inclusion of insulating large organic cation. Herein, the low-dimensional QWs formation is suppressed by removing the organic cation 1-naphthylmethylamine iodide (NMAI) through the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) annealing. The perovskite light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) devices based on films annealed with optimized UHV conditions show higher external quantum efficiency of 13.0% and wall-plug efficiency of 11.1% compared to otherwise identical devices with films annealed in a glovebox.

Phase- and shape-controlled synthesis of VO2 by a hydrothermal-calcination method
摘要: VO2(M) structures with various shapes were synthesized by vacuum annealed VO2 metastable phase, and this metastable phase (VO2(B/D)) were formed by hydrothermal method used H2C2O4 and V2O5 powders as starting reactants. The phase structure, morphology, surface composition and phase transition characteristics of VO2 were characterized by XRD, SEM, XPS and DSC. Obtained results show that the VO2’s metastable phase structure and morphology strongly depended on the n-butanol/water ratio, molar ratio of V2O5 and H2C2O4 and molar concentration of V2O5, which leads a different synthesis pathway. The influence mechanism has also been studied. Low n-butanol/water ratio (2:45) and low molar ratio (1:1, 1:2) favor the formation of VO2(B) nanosheets/nanorods while high n-butanol/water ratio (45:2) and high molar concentration (0.22 mol/L) favor the formation of VO2(D) micro/nanospheres. Ultimately, the VO2(M) nanoparticles can be obtained at a relatively low vacuum annealing temperature of 300°C, and with a lowest TC was as low as 55.43°C. In addition, the effect of vacuum annealing temperature and morphology on the phase transition characteristic of VO2(M) has also been studied.

Properties of sputtered BaSi<sub>2</sub> thin films annealed in vacuum condition
摘要: Herein, BaSi2 films are deposited by the sputtering technique. A vacuum annealing process is subsequently carried out to crystallize sputtered BaSi2 films. Raman spectroscopy is used to study surface structures and crystalline quality. Elemental depth profile is measured by Auger Electron spectroscopy to understand the compositions of films. Optical and electrical properties are further investigated to reveal the effects of annealing condition. Applying vacuum annealing condition can effectively suppress diffusions of Ba and ensures a stochiometric BaSi2 layer. However, surface oxidation still occurs even in the vacuum environment owing to the high reactivity of Ba. Further attempts to prevent BaSi2 surface oxidation may focus on the combination of other methods, such as capping layer and reducing atmosphere, with vacuum (or low-pressure) annealing condition.
