The analytical results show that V_(OC) increases linearly with the logarithm of illumination intensity under usual illumination. There are two critical values of the interface state density(D_(it)) for the open-circuit voltage(V_(OC)), D_(it)^(crit,1) and D_(it)crit,2(a few 1010 cm^(-2)·e V^(-1)). V_(OC) decreases remarkably when D_(it) is higher than D_(it)^(crit,1). To achieve high V_(OC), the interface states should reduce down to a few 1010 cm^(-2)·e V^(-1). Due to the difference between the effective density of states in the conduction and valence band edges of c-Si, the open-circuit voltage of a-Si:H/c-Si heterojunction cells fabricated on n-type c-Si wafers is about 22 mV higher than that fabricated on p-type c-Si wafers at the same case. V_(OC) decreases with decreasing the a-Si:H doping concentration at low doping level since the electric field over the c-Si depletion region is reduced at low doping level. Therefore, the a-Si:H layer should be doped higher than a critical value of 5×10^(18) cm^(-3) to achieve high V_(OC).展开更多

A comparison between the properties of the films obtained by using the two doping compounds was performed by using I-V characteristics in the dark at room temperature, AC measurements, and transmittance. It is found that the films prepared by using HF have smaller resistivity, lower impedance and they are less capacitive than films prepared by using NH4F. In addition, these films have higher transmittance, higher optical bandgap energy and narrower Urbach tail width. These results are interesting for the use of SnO2：F as forecontact in CdS/CdTe solar cells.展开更多

文摘The effect of the parameters on the open-circuit voltage, V_(OC) of a-Si:H/c-Si heterojunction solar cells was explored by an analytical model. The analytical results show that V_(OC) increases linearly with the logarithm of illumination intensity under usual illumination. There are two critical values of the interface state density(D_(it)) for the open-circuit voltage(V_(OC)), D_(it)^(crit,1) and D_(it)crit,2(a few 1010 cm^(-2)·e V^(-1)). V_(OC) decreases remarkably when D_(it) is higher than D_(it)^(crit,1). To achieve high V_(OC), the interface states should reduce down to a few 1010 cm^(-2)·e V^(-1). Due to the difference between the effective density of states in the conduction and valence band edges of c-Si, the open-circuit voltage of a-Si:H/c-Si heterojunction cells fabricated on n-type c-Si wafers is about 22 mV higher than that fabricated on p-type c-Si wafers at the same case. V_(OC) decreases with decreasing the a-Si:H doping concentration at low doping level since the electric field over the c-Si depletion region is reduced at low doping level. Therefore, the a-Si:H layer should be doped higher than a critical value of 5×10^(18) cm^(-3) to achieve high V_(OC).

文摘Carbon-based perovskite solar cells have attracted much attention,due to their low cost,simple preparation process and high chemical stability.However,the devices exhibit low photoelectric conversion efficiency,owing to the presence of defects and interface impedance between the perovskite active layer and the contact interface.In order to minimize the interfacial defects and improve the charge transfer performance between the perovskite layer and the contact interface,cetyltrimethylammonium chloride(CTAC)was introduced into the lower interface of HTL-free carbon-based perovskite solar cells,because CTAC can be used as interface modification material to passivate the buried interface of perovskite and promote grain growth.It was found that CTAC can not only passivate the interface defects of perovskite,but also improve the crystalline quality of perovskite.As a result,the photovoltaic conversion efficiency of reaches 17.18%,which is 12.5%higher than that of the control group.After 20 days in air with 60%RH humidity,the cell can still maintain more than 90%of the initial efficiency,which provides a new strategy for interfacial passivation of perovskite solar cells.

文摘The development of high-performance non-fullerene acceptors with extended exciton diffusion lengths has positioned the sequential layer-by-layer(LBL)solution processing technique as a promising approach for fabricating high-performance and large-area organic solar cells(OSCs).This method allows for the independent dissolution and deposition of donor and acceptor materials,enabling precise morphology control.In this review,we provide a comprehensive overview of the LBL processing technique,focusing on the morphology of the active layer.The swelling intercalation phase-separation(SIPS)model is introduced as the mainstream theory of morphology evolution,with a detailed discussion on vertical phase separation.We summarize recent strategies for morphology optimization.Additionally,we review the progress in LBL-based large-area device and module fabrication,as well as green processing approaches.Finally,we highlight current challenges and future prospects,paving the way for the commercialization of LBL-processed OSCs.

文摘Limited charge carrier lifetime(τ)leads to the short charge carrier diffusion length(L_(D))and thus impedes the improvement of power conversion efficiencies(PCEs)of organic solar cells(OSCs).Herein,anthracene(AN)as the additive is introduced into classical donor:acceptor pairs to increase theτ.Introducing AN efficiently enhances the crystallinity of the PM 6:BTP-eC 9+blend film to reduce the trap density and increase theτto 1.484μs,achieving the prolonged L_(D).The prolonged L_(D) enables the PM 6:BTP-eC 9+blend film to gain weaker charge carrier recombination,reduced leakage current,and shorter charge carrier extraction time in devices,compared with PM 6:BTP-eC 9 counterparts.Therefore,PM 6:BTP-eC 9+based OSCs achieve higher PCEs of 18.41%±0.16%than PM 6:BTP-eC 9 based ones(17.08%±0.11%).Moreover,the PM 6:L 8-BO+based OSC presents an impressive PCE of 19.14%.It demonstrates that introducing AN is an efficient method to increase theτfor prolonged L_(D),boosting PCEs of OSCs.
文摘Two polymer donor materials,namely pBDT-BTI-EH and pBDT-BTI-ME,were synthesized by copoly-merizing benzodithiophene(BDT)unit with bithiophene imide(BTI)unit containing 2-ethylhexyl and methyl alkyl side chains,respectively.Compared to pBDT-BTI-EH∶Y6 based organic solar cells(OSCs),the pBDT-BTI-ME∶Y6-based device exhibited higher charge mobilities,reduced charge recombination,more efficient exciton dissociation,and favorable film morphology,which leaded to increased short current density(Jsc),fill factor(FF)and thus a significant improvement in power conversion efficiency(PCE)from 9.31%to 15.69%.
文摘Head-to-tail bonded perylene bisimide(PBI)dyads with different branched alkyl chains substituted at the terminal imide position show various stacking modes,which results in different effects on the excitonic processes and electron transportation.The dyad bearing branched alkyl chains with the branching sites close to the imide positions forms homogeneously amorphous state,while with branching sites being away from the imide positions the PBI core tend to stack with multiple modes.There are fewer energy trapping sites in the homogeneously amorphous state,but in the multiple stacking system the strongπ-πinteractions give more trapping sites.Our study demonstrates that the aggregation state of PBI-based acceptors plays an important role in the performances of organic solar cells(OSCs).Multiple stacking needs to be diminished to avoid the constrained exciton dissociation and retarded charge transport in the active layer.

文摘Significant progress has recently been made in enhancing the power conversion efficiency(PCE)of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).The electron transport layer(ETL),as an essential component of PSCs,significantly influences the performance of devices.Traditional spin-coating method for preparing the ETL fails to fully cover the cusp of FTO transparent conductive glass substrate,leading to direct contact between perovskite film and FTO substrate,which induces charge recombination and reduces the performance of PSCs.To address this issue,an in-situ growth method was proposed to prepare conformal SnO_(2) films on FTO glass substrates in this study.The resulting SnO_(2) films are not only dense and uniform,fully covering the cusp of the FTO glass substrates and reducing the contact area between the FTO substrates and the perovskite films,but also facilitating the formation of perovskite films with large grain sizes.Moreover,the conformal SnO_(2) films can improve the charge extraction at the SnO_(2)/perovskite interface,reduce the trap density and trap-assisted recombination in PSCs,and thus enhance the PCE of PSCs.Through comparative experiments,it is found that the PSCs with in-situ grown SnO_(2) films show an improved PCE of 21.97%,which significantly increased compared to that with spin-coated SnO_(2) films(20.93%).All above data demonstrate that the as-prepared SnO_(2) film can serve as an ideal ETL.It is worth mentioning that this method avoids the use of corrosive hydrochloric acid and toxic thioglycolic acid,and it can also be extended to ITO flexible transparent conductive substrates in the future.

文摘Cadmium sulfide(CdS)is an n-type semiconductor with excellent electrical conductivity that is widely used as an electron transport material(ETM)in solar cells.At present,numerous methods for preparing CdS thin films have emerged,among which magnetron sputtering(MS)is one of the most commonly used vacuum techniques.For this type of technique,the substrate temperature is one of the key deposition parameters that affects the interfacial properties between the target film and substrate,determining the specific growth habits of the films.Herein,the effect of substrate temperature on the microstructure and electrical properties of magnetron-sputtered CdS(MS-CdS)films was studied and applied for the first time in hydrothermally deposited antimony selenosulfide(Sb_(2)(S,Se)_(3))solar cells.Adjusting the substrate temperature not only results in the design of the flat and dense film with enhanced crystallinity but also leads to the formation of an energy level arrangement with a Sb_(2)(S,Se)_(3)layer that is more favorable for electron transfer.In addition,we developed an oxygen plasma treatment for CdS,reducing the parasitic absorption of the device and resulting in an increase in the short-circuit current density of the solar cell.This study demonstrates the feasibility of MS-CdS in the fabrication of hydrothermal Sb_(2)(S,Se)_(3)solar cells and provides interface optimization strategies to improve device performance.
文摘Fluorine doped tin oxide SnO2：F thin films were prepared by the spray pyrolysis （SP） technique on glass substrates by using SnC12.2H2O as a precursor and NH4F and HF as doping compounds. A comparison between the properties of the films obtained by using the two doping compounds was performed by using I-V characteristics in the dark at room temperature, AC measurements, and transmittance. It is found that the films prepared by using HF have smaller resistivity, lower impedance and they are less capacitive than films prepared by using NH4F. In addition, these films have higher transmittance, higher optical bandgap energy and narrower Urbach tail width. These results are interesting for the use of SnO2：F as forecontact in CdS/CdTe solar cells.

文摘Four fused-benzotriazole based p-type polymers(BDT-TT,BDT-Se,BDD-TT,and BDD-Se)were designed and synthesized,and the fine-tuning on absorption band-widths and bandgaps via the backbone seleno-phene and thiophene strategies were reported.First,we introduced dithienothiophen[3,2-b]pyrrolobenzotriazole to co-polymerize with BDT-2F and synthesized BDT-TT.Then,we used selenophene to replace the thienothiophene units on the dithienothiophen[3,2-b]pyrrolobenzotriazole and synthesized BDT-Se.Compared to BDT-TT,BDT-Se showed a reduced bandgap from 2.0 eV to 1.89 eV.After that,we used BDD to replace BDT-2F and synthesized BDD-TT by co-polymerizing with dithienothiophen[3,2-b]pyrrolobenzotriazole.In comparison to BDT-TT,BDD-TT showed extended absorption band-width with the full-width-at-the-half-maximum(FWHM)increased from 138 nm to 229 nm and reduced bandgap from 2.0 eV to 1.71 eV.At last,we combined BDD and diselenophen[3,2-b]pyrrolo-benzotriazole and synthesized BDD-Se,which achieved extended absorption and further reduced bandgap(1.61 eV).Using PC71BM as the electron acceptor material,the organic solar cells fabricated by the four polymers gave the efficiencies of 1%-2%.
