Effects of 2-Amino-4,6-Dimethoxypyrimidine on PVDF/KI/I2-Based Solid Polymer Electrolytes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Application
摘要： In this work, we have investigated the effects of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine on polyvinylidene fluoride/potassium iodide/iodine (PVDF/KI/I2) in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). Different weight ratios (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%) of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine-doped PVDF/KI/I2-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) were prepared by solution-casting method. The prepared 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine-doped PVDF/KI/I2-based SPEs were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis, AC impedance analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The crystallinity of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine-doped PVDF/KI/I2-based SPEs was confirmed by PXRD measurement. The ionic conductivity of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine-doped PVDF/KI/I2-based SPEs was calculated using AC impedance analysis. The ionic conductivity values of different weight ratios (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%) of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine-doped PVDF/KI/I2-based SPEs are 5.50 × 10?6 S cm?1, 1.74 × 10?5 S cm?1, 4.91 × 10?5 S cm?1, 2.04 × 10?5 S cm?1, 1.58 × 10?5 S cm?1 and 1.04 × 10?5 S cm?1, respectively. Ionic conductivity studies revealed that the 20% 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine-doped PVDF/KI/I2-based SPE showed the highest ionic conductivity value. The SEM images show the surface morphology of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine-doped PVDF/KI/I2-based SPEs. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of DSSCs utilizing different weight ratios (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%) of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine-doped PVDF/KI/I2-based SPEs are 1.4%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 2.3%, 1.9% and 1.6%, respectively. These results revealed that the DSSC using 20% 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine-doped PVDF/KI/I2-based SPE exhibited the highest PCE.

Development of solid polymer electrolytes based on sodium-carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC)-polysulphide for quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs)
摘要： Sodium-carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) films have been developed by solution casting technique. The films were soaked into an optimized aqueous polysulphide electrolyte containing 4 M sodium sulphide (Na2S) and 1 M sulphur (S). The optimized aqueous polysulphide electrolyte has the ambient conductivity of (1.46 ± 0.02) × 10-1 S cm-1. The NaCMC films were soaked for different durations of 30, 60, 68 and 75 s. The highest room temperature ionic conductivity (RTIC) of (2.79 ± 0.09) × 10-5 S cm-1 is exhibited by NaCMC film soaked in polysulphide electrolyte for 68 s. The conductivity-temperature relationship of NaCMC-based polysulphide solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) follows the Arrhenius rule. The highest conducting SPE exhibits the lowest activation energy (EA) value of 0.38 eV. Ionic coefficient of diffusion (D), ionic mobility (μ) and free ions concentration (n) of the SPEs were determined. The newly developed SPEs are used as electrolyte in quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) application with the configuration FTO/TiO2/CdS/ZnS/SPE/Pt/FTO. Under 1000 W m-2 illumination, QDSSC with CMC-68 SPE exhibits the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 0.90%. The values of short circuit current (JSC) and PCE are closely related to electron lifetime and recombination rate.

Novel photo-voltaic device based on Bi1?xLaxFeO3 perovskite films with higher efficiency
摘要： Photovoltaic cells using polycrystalline La substituted bismuth iron oxide, Bi1?xLaxFeO3, (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.4), films as the light harvesting component were investigated in this work. A novel cell set-up utilizing a double layered TiO2 film as top contact and a thin layer of quasi-solid polymer electrolyte as back contact was used and a significant enhancement in cell efficiency was observed for assemblies based on x ≥ 0.2 samples, coincident with a structural transition of Bi1?xLaxFeO3 from ferroelectric to non-ferroelectric. The power conversion efficiency of the PV device was 0.13% for the cell with x = 0.2 at 1 sun irradiation. The short circuit current density for this La composition was 0.35 mA cm?2. A hysteretic behaviour was observed for higher La compositions when the scanning is from open-circuit (OP) to short-circuit (SC) which may be attributed to polarization effects. The results at x ≥ 0.2 show an improved performance with respect to BiFeO3 based systems, suggesting the stabilization of the non-ferroelectric crystal structure leads either to a more efficient separation of photo-generated electron–hole pairs and/or enhanced charge transport. The findings represent a step towards the realisation of facile to fabricate, inorganic solid state photovoltaic devices.

Structural, morphological, optical and dielectric properties of M <sup>3+</sup> /PVA/PEG SPE Films (M = La, Y, Fe or Ir)
摘要： Low band gap polymer complexes are promising due to its flexibility, and exhibiting electronic and optical properties of inorganic semiconductors. The effect of PEG on the physical properties of PVA was evaluated. Then, blend (PVA: PEG = 50:50) doped with rare earth (La or Y) and transition metal (Fe or Ir) chlorides to obtain solid polymer electrolyte films. XRD shows that adding PEG to PVA results in a new peak, 2θ = 23o with increased intensity as PEG ratio increases. However, doping with La3+, Fe3+ or Ir3+ eliminate this peak and decrease the crystallinity. SEM exhibits significant changes in the morphology of films. FTIR confirms miscibility between PVA & PEG and the complexation of the salts. The optical band gap (Eg) of PVA ~ 5.37 eV, decreased slightly by blending with PEG. While it decreased significantly to 2.64 eV and 2.78 eV after doping with Fe3+ or Ir3+. There are a consistency between Eg values obtained by Tauc's model and that obtained from the optical dielectric loss. The dielectric constant and loss, in temperature range 303–405 K & frequency range 1.0 kHz ‐ 5.0 MHz, indicate one or two relaxation peak(s) depending on the film composition. Accordingly, conduction mechanism varied between correlated barrier hopping and large polaron tunneling. The DC conductivity was strongly depend on the dielectric loss. The transition metal salts appear to be more effective than the rare earth ones in increasing σac of films to higher values that candidates them in semiconductors industry.
