Protein-functionalized WO3 nanorods–based impedimetric platform for sensitive and label-free detection of a cardiac biomarker
摘要： We report the development of a sensitive and a label-free electrochemical immunosensing platform for the detection of cardiac biomarker troponin I (cTnI) using tungsten trioxide nanorods (WO3 NRs). The low-temperature hydrothermal technique was employed for the controlled synthesis of WO3 NRs. Thin films of 3-aminopropyltriethoxy saline (APTES)-functionalized WO3 NRs were deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrate (0.5 cm × 1 cm) using electrophoretic deposition technique. The covalent immobilization of cTnI antibody onto functionalized WO3 NRs electrode was accomplished using EDC-NHS [1-(3-(dimethylamino)-propyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide] chemistry. The structural and morphological characterizations of WO3 NRs and functionalized WO3 NRs were studied using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques. The impedimetric response study of the proposed immunosensor demonstrates high sensitivity [6.81 KΩ·mL/(ng·cm2)] in a linear detection range of 0.01–10 ng/mL. The excellent selectivity, good reproducibility, and long-term stability of the proposed immunosensing platform indicate WO3 NRs as a suitable platform for the development of a point-of-care biosensing device for cardiac detection.

Electrical Properties of Metal-Porous GaAs Structure at Water Adsorption
摘要： This paper reports the morphological, optical, luminescent and electrical properties of electrochemically made porous GaAs in order to evaluate their humidity sensing performance. The obtained porous GaAs exhibits non-homogenous surface morphology, which consists of pyramid-shaped crystallites and micropores. Photoluminescent and FTIR study shows that the surface of such material is covered by an oxide of As and Ga. The impedance spectroscopy was applied to analyze the influence of water vapor on electrical properties of metal-porous GaAs. It was shown that water adsorption results in the Nyquist plots shift to the region of higher frequencies. In humid atmosphere resistance Rv and characteristic time of charge accumulation s are decreased by 1.4 times and 5 times, respectively; resistance Rb and capacity Cb decreased by 1.4 times and 4.4 times, respectively. The response of the metal-porous GaAs structure to the adsorption of water is attributed to the decreasing of the bulk resistivity and potential barrier height. The formed oxide layer on the surface of porous GaAs plays a dual role—it increases the ability to adsorb water molecules and prevents the surface from receiving structural degradation.

Origin of Low Open Circuit Voltage in Surfactant-stabilized Organic Nanoparticle-based Solar Cells
摘要： Organic nanoparticle based solar cells have drawn great attention due to its eco-friendly and environ-friendly fabrication procedure. However these surfactant-stabilized nanoparticles suffer open circuit voltage loss due to charge trapping and poor extraction rate at the polymer cathode interface. Here we have investigated origin of voltage loss and charge trapping in surfactant-stabilized nanoparticle based devices. Efficient organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices have been fabricated from an aqueous dispersion of poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) nanoparticles stabilized by anionic surfactants. AC impedance spectroscopy has been used to understand the charge transport properties in the dark and in operando conditions. We have demonstrated the similarities in the charge transport properties as well as photocarrier dynamics of the nanoparticle-based OPVs and the bulk hetero-junction OPVs despite fundamental differences in their nanostructure morphology. This study emphasizes the possibility of fabricating highly efficient OPVs from organic nanoparticles by reducing surface defects and excess doping of the polymers.

Elucidating the origin of external quantum efficiency losses in cuprous oxide solar cells through defect analysis
摘要： Heterojunction Cu2O solar cells are an important class of Earth-abundant photovoltaics that can be synthesized by a variety of techniques, including electrochemical deposition (ECD) and thermal oxidation (TO). The latter gives the most efficient solar cells of up to 8.1% reported in the literature, but is limited by low external quantum efficiencies (EQE) in the long wavelength range (490–600 nm). By contrast, ECD Cu2O gives higher short wavelength EQEs of up to 90%. We elucidate the cause of this difference by characterizing and comparing ECD and TO films using impedance spectroscopy and fitting with a lumped circuit model to determine the trap density, followed by simulations. The data indicates that TO Cu2O has a higher density of interface defects, located approximately 0.5 eV above the valence band maximum (NV), and lower bulk defect density thus explaining the lower short wavelength EQEs and higher long wavelength EQEs. This work shows that a route to further efficiency increases of TO Cu2O is to reduce the density of interface defect states.

Functionalized rGO Interlayers Improve the Fill Factor and Current Density in PbS QDs-Based Solar Cells
摘要： Graphene-quantum dot nanocomposites attract significant attention for novel optoelectronic devices, such as ultrafast photodetectors and third-generation solar cells. Combining the remarkable optical properties of quantum dots (QDs) with the exceptional electrical properties of graphene derivatives opens a vast perspective for further growth in solar cell efficiency. Here, we applied (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane functionalized reduced graphene oxide (f-rGO) to improve the QDs-based solar cell active layer. The different strategies of f-rGO embedding are explored. When f-rGO interlayers are inserted between PbS QD layers, the solar cells demonstrate a higher current density and a better fill factor. A combined study of the morphological and electrical parameters of the solar cells shows that the improved efficiency is associated with better layer homogeneity, lower trap-state densities, higher charge carrier concentrations, and the blocking of the minor charge carriers.

[IEEE 2019 International Conference on Numerical Simulation of Optoelectronic Devices (NUSOD) - Ottawa, ON, Canada (2019.7.8-2019.7.12)] 2019 International Conference on Numerical Simulation of Optoelectronic Devices (NUSOD) - Compact transmission-line equivalent circuit model for silicon solar cell simulation
摘要： We demonstrate a compact equivalent circuit model for transmission-line representation of monocrystalline silicon solar cell. The model for solar cell characterization in terms of impedance/admittance spectroscopy. Number of coordinate partition elements necessary to adequately represent the device characteristics is reasonably comparable with the number of solar cell structure epi-layers. This makes the model convenient for transient effect simulations in external electrical circuits where fully distributed transmission-line model is too complex for direct time-domain calculations.

Facile designing and assessment of photovoltaic performance of hydrothermally grown kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films: Influence of deposition time
摘要： Herein, low cost precursor source Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanocrystalline thin films at various reaction time were successfully synthesized via one step hydrothermal route. Hydrothermal route was employed to achieve control over the size and grain growth of CZTS films. As deposited CZTS films were analyzed for its optoelectronic, structural, morphological and electrochemical properties to investigate the effect of hydrothermal reaction time on growth and photovoltaic performance. The hydrothermal synthesis promoted to high absorption (104 cm?1) of the CZTS film with a decrease in optical band gap energy from 1.52 eV to 1.41 eV. Structural study revealed that, improved crystallinity with A1 mode of vibration for pure phase kesterite CZTS structure. Morphological transition was observed from nanograins to well grown and compact nanospheres. Compositional analysis illustrates, stoichiometric CZTS film formation with the desired valence state of Cu+, Zn2+, Sn4+ and S2? elements. Current density-voltage (J-V) measurement of FTO/CZTS/(0.3 M Eu3+/Eu2+)/Graphite cell configuration shows, highest photocurrent of 2.60 mA/cm2 and open circuit voltage of 754 mV was observed for CZTS4 sample with best photoconversion efficiency (η) 3.21% under illumination of 30 mW/cm2 light intensity. Electron impedance spectroscopy (EIS) showed that, generation of lower charge transfer resistance (Rct) with increase in reaction time.

Improved photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells by Au-ion implantation of titania film electrodes
摘要： Plasmonic metal nanoparticles are known to work as light-harvesting antennae and to enhance photocurrents of photovoltaic cells. Therefore, in this work, the effect of gold (Au) ions distribution on the efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) has been investigated. Thin films of TiO2 have been deposited on FTO glass substrates by the doctor tape method. Au ions were then implanted on these films with different fluence rates (i.e., 2 × 1014, 4 × 1014 and 6 × 1014 ions/cm2). XRD results confirmed that TiO2 is present in the anatase phase up to a 4 × 104 ions/cm2 fluence rate. At a 6 × 1014 ions/cm2 fluence rate, one peak of rutile is obtained which confirmed that the film has mixed phases of TiO2. UV results show that dye is adsorbed into all photoanodes. Maximum dye absorption is seen at a fluence rate of 4 × 1014 ions/cm2. The energy conversion efficiency of DSSC is highly dependent on the fluence rate of Au. At a fluence rate of 4 × 1014 ions/cm2, the cell has a high short circuit current density (JSC) of 7.21 mA/cm2, resulting in a high efficiency (×) of 2.92%. Impedance spectroscopy shows that the cell formed by Au ions fluence rate of 4 × 1014 ions/cm2 has a low recombination rate of electron/hole pairs.

Cu2FeSnS4 Nanoparticles: Potential Photovoltaic Absorption Materials for Solar Cell Application
摘要： Quaternary semiconductor Cu2FeSnS4 (CFTS) nanoparticle powder have been prepared by thermal analysis and electrochemical characterization. Powder XRD and Raman spectroscopy confirm the phase and structure of the prepared nanoparticles. The optical absorption studies reveal that the CFTS nanoparticles have a direct optimal band gap in the range from 1.32 to 1.5eV, which indicates that these nanoparticles are potential absorber materials for thin-film photovoltaic application. The synthesized CFTS nanoparticles were transformed to the ink form and the obtained nanoparticle ink coated on a FTO conducting substrate (surface resistivity-13Ω/sq). The catalytic activity of the substrate was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammogram (CV) curves. The appropriate optical band gap and stable electrical properties indicate that Cu2FeSnS4 Nanoparticles are potential materials for thin-film photovoltaic application.

Fullerene for the Improvement of PbS QDs-Based Hybrid Solar Cells
摘要： In the present study, the hybrid photovoltaic devices based on PbS quantum dots (QDs) and poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5diyl) have been fabricated. The effect of the insertion of [6,6]-phenyl C71 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) into the hybrid blend has been investigated and analyzed by using light and dark current density-voltage measurement, and impedance spectroscopy: capacitance-frequency and capacitance-voltage measurement. It is demonstrated that the introduction of PCBM into solar cells improves their efficiency with the optimal PCBM concentration of 3 wt %. It is shown that the main contribution in limitation of solar cells efficiency is brought by shallow traps induced by air exposure.
