Discovery of Novel Two-Dimensional Photovoltaic Materials Accelerated by Machine Learning
摘要： Searching for novel, high-performance, two-dimensional photovoltaic (2DPV) materials is an important pursuit for solar cell applications. In this work, an efficient method based on the machine learning algorithm combined with high-throughput screening is developed. Twenty-six 2DPV candidates are successfully ruled out from 187093 experimentally identified inorganic crystal structures, whose conversion efficiencies are predicted by density functional theory calculations. Our results indicate that Sb2Se2Te, Sb2Te3, and Bi2Se3 exhibit conversion efficiencies that are much higher than those of others, which make them promising 2DPV candidates for further applications. The superior photovoltaic performance is then analyzed, and the hidden structure-related relationships with photovoltaic properties are established, thus providing important information for the further examination of 2DPV materials. Given the rapid development of the database of materials, this approach not only provides an efficient way of searching for novel 2DPV materials but also can be applied to exploration of a broad range of functional materials.

Broadband, wide-angle antireflection in GaAs through surface nano-structuring for solar cell applications
摘要： We demonstrate broadband and wide-angle antireflective surface nanostructuring in GaAs semiconductors using variable dose electron-beam lithography (EBL). Various designed structures are written with EBL on a positive EB-resist coated GaAs and developed followed by shallow inductively coupled plasma etching. An optimized nanostructured surface shows a reduced surface reflectivity down to less than 2.5% in the visible range of 450–700 nm and an average reflectance of less than 4% over a broad near-infrared wavelength range from 900–1400 nm. The results are obtained over a wide incidence angle of 33.3°. This study shows the potential for anti-reflective structures using a simpler reverse EBL process which can provide optical absorption or extraction efficiency enhancement in semiconductors relevant to improved performance in solar photovoltaics or light-emitting diodes.

Preparation and characterization of hematite nanoparticles-decorated zinc oxide particles (ZnO/Fe2O3) as photoelectrodes for solar cell applications
摘要： Because of the socio-environmental and economic impacts of the use of fossil fuels, the demand for the diversi?cation of the energy matrix has increased. Energy devices utilizing renewable energy such as solar cells stand out as a possible solution to this problem. Therefore, in order to realize the practical applications of solar cells, it is imperative to develop novel structural materials and to optimize the properties of the existing ones. In this study, we prepared a photoelectrode using hematite-decorated zinc oxide particles (ZnO/Fe2O3). The ?eld-emission scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller results con?rmed that Fe2O3 coated the surface of the ZnO particles and improved their photoelectrochemical properties. The composite was found to be a promising photoelectrode for solar cells.
