Enhanced Power Conversion Efficiency of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells by Band Edge Shift of TiO2 Photoanode
摘要： By simple soaking titanium dioxide (TiO2) films in an aqueous Na2S solution, we could prepare surface-modified photoanodes for application to dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). An improvement in both the open-circuit voltage (Voc) and the fill factor (FF) was observed in the DSSC with the 5 min-soaked photoanode, compared with those of the control cell without any modification. The UV–visible absorbance spectra, UPS valence band spectra, and dark current measurements revealed that the Na2S modification led to the formation of anions on the TiO2 surface, and thereby shifted the conduction band edge of TiO2 in the negative (upward) direction, inducing an increase of 29 mV in the Voc. It was also found that the increased FF value in the surface-treated device was attributed to an elevation in the shunt resistance.

Down-Shifting and Anti-Reflection Effect of CsPbBr3 Quantum Dots/Multicrystalline Silicon Hybrid Structures for Enhanced Photovoltaic Properties
摘要： Over the past couple of decades, extensive research has been conducted on silicon (Si) based solar cells, whose power conversion e?ciency (PCE) still has limitations because of a mismatched solar spectrum. Recently, a down-shifting e?ect has provided a new way to improve cell performances by converting ultraviolet (UV) photons to visible light. In this work, caesium lead bromide perovskite quantum dots (CsPbBr3 QDs) are synthesized with a uniform size of 10 nm. Exhibiting strong absorption of near UV light and intense photoluminescence (PL) peak at 515 nm, CsPbBr3 QDs show a potential application of the down-shifting e?ect. CsPbBr3 QDs/multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) hybrid structured solar cells are fabricated and systematically studied. Compared with mc-Si solar cells, CsPbBr3 QDs/mc-Si solar cells have obvious improvement in external quantum e?ciency (EQE) within the wavelength ranges of both 300 to 500 nm and 700 to 1100 nm, which can be attributed to the down-shifting e?ect and the anti-re?ection property of CsPbBr3 QDs through the formation of CsPbBr3 QDs/mc-Si structures. Furthermore, a detailed discussion of contact resistance and interface defects is provided. As a result, the coated CsPbBr3 QDs are optimized to be two layers and the solar cell exhibits a highest PCE of 14.52%.

Tungsten-Doped Zinc Oxide and Indiuma??Zinc Oxide Films as High-Performance Electron-Transport Layers in Na??Ia??P Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted tremendous research attention due to their potential as a next-generation photovoltaic cell. Transition metal oxides in N–I–P structures have been widely used as electron-transporting materials but the need for a high-temperature sintering step is incompatible with flexible substrate materials and perovskite materials which cannot withstand elevated temperatures. In this work, novel metal oxides prepared by sputtering deposition were investigated as electron-transport layers in planar PSCs with the N–I–P structure. The incorporation of tungsten in the oxide layer led to a power conversion efficiency (PCE) increase from 8.23% to 16.05% due to the enhanced electron transfer and reduced back-recombination. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images reveal that relatively large grain sizes in the perovskite phase with small grain boundaries were formed when the perovskite was deposited on tungsten-doped films. This study demonstrates that novel metal oxides can be used as in perovskite devices as electron transfer layers to improve the efficiency.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Chicago, IL, USA (2019.6.16-2019.6.21)] 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Wavelength-Conversion Material-Mediated Semiconductor Bonding for Photovoltaic Applications
摘要： Wavelength-conversion material-mediated semiconductor wafer bonding has been demonstrated, by utilizing an adhesive and viscous organic matrix embedding fluorescent particles. The wavelength-converting heterointerface can practically lead the spectral light incidence suitable for each photovoltaic material. This bonding and interfacial scheme is expected to enhance solar cell efficiency and structure flexibility by photon management and current matching among subcells. Moreover, our novel scheme provides the bonding formation and the interfacial function generation simultaneously, and therefore potentially realizes low-cost and high-throughput production processes.

Graphene as charge transport layers in lead free perovskite solar cell
摘要： Tin-based perovskite material is one of the promising candidates used in lead-free perovskite solar cells. In the present study, the use of graphene material as charge transport layers is suggested and the structure n-Graphene/CH3NH3SnI3/p-Graphene is simulated in AFORS-HET (Automat for Simulation of Heterostructures) software. The effect of layer properties on the performance of the proposed structure is analyzed. After optimizing the layer parameters, the best possible structure gives a Voc = 687.1 mV, Jsc = 19.93 mA cm?2, FF = 77.92% and efficiency = 10.67%. The textured nature of front surface enhances the efficiency of the cell from 10.67% to 13.28%. The effect of operating temperature is observed on the performance of the cell. The proposed structure is also modelled using one diode model in MATLAB software for comparison with AFORS-HET results. The results of the simulated and modelled structure are in good agreement with each other. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed structure and the corresponding results reported herein are new for the research community.

Simulated development and optimized performance of CsPbI3 based all-inorganic perovskite solar cells
摘要： Cesium lead iodide (CsPbI3), as one promising inorganic halide perovskite for higher stability, has received extensive attention in recent years. However, CsPbI3 based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have yet to realize the high e?ciency achieved in organic-inorganic hybrid PSCs. In this work, we perform a device modeling by SCAPS-1D to investigate the limitation of CsPbI3 all-inorganic PSC (CsPbI3 i-PSCs) and improve its performance. For i-PSC, not only the absorber but all the layers should be composed of inorganic materials only. Therefore, several potential inorganic hole and electron transport layers (i-HTL and i-ETL) are compared ?rstly and the results reveal that Cu2O HTL and SnO2 ETL are the most suitable materials among them. Moreover, the device performance is further improved by optimizing the work function of back electrode, absorber thickness, doping density as well as defect density. Under optimized conditions, a conversion e?ciency of 21.31% is obtained for the FTO/SnO2/CsPbI3/Cu2O/Au i-PSC, indicating that there is much room for further performance enhancement.

Influence of WSe2 buffer layer at back electrode on performance of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 solar cells
摘要： CZTSSe-based solar cells with a structure of Al/ITO/ZnO/CdS/CZTSSe/p-WSe2/Mo (denoted as WSe2-CZTSSe solar cell) were prepared on the Mo-coated soda-lime glass (SLG) with a pre-sputtering metal tungsten (W) layer. Comparing with the conventional CZTSSe solar cell with a structure of Al/ITO/ZnO/CdS/CZTSSe/n-MoSe2/Mo (denoted as CZTSSe solar cell), the WSe2-CZTSSe solar cell shows a significant improvement in open-circuit voltage (VOC), short-circuit current density (JSC) and fill factor (FF), and so its power conversion efficiency (PCE) enhances. The largest enhancement of the PCE is from 4.13% of the CZTSSe solar cell to 5.45% of the WSe2-CZTSSe solar cell. The increased VOC and JSC are mainly due to the enhancement of photogenerated current density (JL) and decrease of reversion saturation current density (J0), while the increased FF is ascribed to the increase of shunt resistance (RSh). The influence mechanism of the WSe2 buffer layer on JL, J0 and RSh is also investigated in detail. Our results present a route of increment of PCE by reducing and even removing back contact barrier between CZTSSe and MoSe2 layers.

Simultaneous Power Conversion Efficiency and Stability Enhancement of Cs <sub/>2</sub> AgBiBr <sub/>6</sub> Leada??Free Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cell through Adopting a Multifunctional Dye Interlayer
摘要： Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are highly promising next-generation photovoltaic devices because of the cheap raw materials, ideal band gap of ≈1.5 eV, broad absorption range, and high absorption coefficient. Although lead-based inorganic-organic PSC has achieved the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.2%, the toxic nature of lead and poor stability strongly limits the commercialization. Lead-free inorganic PSCs are potential alternatives to toxic and unstable organic-inorganic PSCs. Particularly, double-perovskite Cs2AgBiBr6-based PSC has received interests for its all inorganic and lead-free features. However, the PCE is limited by the inherent and extrinsic defects of Cs2AgBiBr6 films. Herein, an effective and facile strategy is reported for improving the PCE and stability by introducing an N719 dye interlayer, which plays multifunctional roles such as broadening the absorption spectrum, suppressing the charge carrier recombination, accelerating the hole extraction, and constructing an appropriate energy level alignment. Consequently, the optimizing cell delivers an outstanding PCE of 2.84%, much improved as compared with other Cs2AgBiBr6-based PSCs reported so far in the literature. Moreover, the N719 interlayer greatly enhances the stability of PSCs under ambient conditions. This work highlights a useful strategy to boost the PCE and stability of lead-free Cs2AgBiBr6-based PSCs simultaneously, accelerating the commercialization of PSC technology.

摘要： Here, we studied a green porphyrin sensitizer Y350 based dye-sensitized solar cells with binary ionic liquid based electrolytes, which are a mixture of 1-methyl-3-propyl-imidazolium iodide with 1-methyl-1-butylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluromethylsulfonyl)-imide, 1-butylpyridinium bis(trifluromethylsulfonyl)imide, 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium bis(trifluromethylsulfonyl)imide or 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium tetracyanoborate.The best semi-transparent green DSC device exhibited a short-circuit current density of 9.1 mA cm-2, an open-circuit voltage of 727 mV and a fill factor of 70%, corresponding to an overall power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.9 % under standard AM 1.5G illuminations at 100 mW cm-2. The PCE increased to 6.1 % with opaque films containing larger light scattering TiO2 particles.

Composite of lampblack and printer toner powder as a low-cost counter electrode material for dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： Lampblack prepared by using a traditional mustard oil lamp was mixed with printer toner in the ratio of 1:1 by weight and the composite was used as a low-cost catalyst for the reduction of tri-iodide ions in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the lampblack showed that the lampblack contains a carbonaceous material of graphitic form. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the lampblack and printer toner revealed that the lampblack consists of a few tens of nanometer to 100 nanometer sized particles (or nanosheet) whereas the toner powder consists of micron sized particles. The adhesion test of the composite film on the counter electrode (CE) of the DSC showed that the composite film is firmly attached on the CE. The DSCs based on the composite yielded the overall light to electricity conversion efficiency of 3.20 % (Jsc = 7.90 mA/cm2, Voc = 0.667 V and FF = 0.607) compared with 4.18 % efficiency (Jsc = 8.56 mA/cm2, Voc = 0.748 V and FF = 0.654) of the DSC based on platinum when the solar cells were tested in the simulated light of 100 mW/cm2.
