有机金属卤化物钙钛矿薄膜中的光诱导载流子动力学和动态带重整效应

近年来有机-无机金属卤化物钙钛矿太阳能电池因具有光电能量转换效率高、制备工艺简单等优点,引起了学术界和产业界的广泛关注,其优异的光电特性逐渐在能源领域展现出独特的优越特性.在短短几年内,有机-无机混合物钙钛矿太阳能电池的能量转换效率已经高达23%,发展速度逐步赶上甚至超越了成熟的硅太阳能电池.本文利用飞秒瞬态吸收光谱,对二步法制备的(5-AVA)_(0.05)(MA)_(0.95)PbI_3和(5-AVA)_(0.05)(MA)_(0.95)PbI_3/Spiro-OMeTAD有机-无机卤化物钙钛矿薄膜材料的激发态动力学进行了对比研究,详细讨论了两种薄膜样品中的电荷载流子产生与复合机制.通过紫外-可见吸收光谱测得钙钛矿薄膜(5-AVA)_(0.05)(MA)_(0.95)PbI_3和(5-AVA)_(0.05)(MA)_(0.95)PbI_3/Spiro-OMeTAD的吸收光谱与CH_3NH_3PbI_3钙钛矿薄膜材料的双价带结构相对应.从瞬态吸收光谱中,观察到760 nm附近的光致漂白信号,此时的载流子复合过程符合二阶动力学过程,而在约550—700 nm光谱范围内则是光诱导激发态吸收信号.实验结果表明,(5-AVA)_(0.05)(MA)_(0.95)PbI_3钙钛矿薄膜样品中光生载流子主要的弛豫途径是自由电子和空穴的复合.抽运光激发样品使价带中的电子跃迁到导带,随着延迟时间的增加,电子和空穴复合,光谱发生红移现象.所观察到的带重整效应可以根据Moss-Burstein效应解释.相比较而言,(5-AVA)_(0.05)(MA)_(0.95)PbI_3/Spiro-OMeTAD钙钛矿薄膜样品在光激发后电子和空穴分离,空穴迅速转移到空穴传输层,这将导致样品吸收度增加,漂白信号快速恢复,电子-空穴的复合不再对漂白信号的弛豫动力学起主导作用,同时也削弱了带重整现象.本文的实验结果对半导体有机-无机金属卤化物钙钛矿薄膜在光伏领域的应用具有重要意义,为今后高效、稳定的钙钛矿太阳电池的研究提供了参考.     

晶硅太阳电池原位光老化及热致输运机理

为研究晶体硅太阳电池在标准模拟光条件下的输出特性变化规律和电池内部载流子输运特性,采用原位光老化技术对被测电池进行光照处理,按标准测试实验流程测量电池的伏安特性及光谱响应等参量,发现原位光老化后太阳电池伏安特性各项参量衰减,导致电池效率降低;短波段光谱响应微量下降,是由于原位光老化过程中电池表面产生极微量的面缺陷导致经过硅表面的微量载流子被复合;而长波段响应明显降低,是由于晶硅内大量体缺陷被激活导致长波载流子在经过硅材料内部时被复合.随后将光老化后电池退火并测量比对电池各项特性参量,结果表明,退火对光老化后电池内部深层体缺陷具有较好的修复功能,但对浅层面缺陷没有修复功能,最终造成电池伏安特性参量和光谱响应只得到部分恢复.

Thermal activation and deactivation of grown‐in defects limiting the lifetime of float‐zone silicon

By studying the minority carrier lifetime in recently manufactured commercially available n‐ and p‐type float‐zone (FZ) silicon from five leading suppliers, we observe a very large reduction in the bulk lifetime when FZ silicon is heat‐treated in the range 450–700 °C. Photoluminescence imaging of these samples at the wafer scale revealed concentric circular patterns, with higher recombination occurring in the centre, and far less around the periphery. Deep level transient spectroscopy measurements indicate the presence of recombination active defects, including a dominant center with an energy level at ～E_v + 0.5 eV. Upon annealing FZ silicon at temperatures >1000 °C in oxygen, the lifetime is completely recovered, whereby the defects vanish and do not reappear upon subsequent annealing at 500 °C. We conclude that the heat‐treatments at >1000 °C result in total annihilation of the recombination active defects. Without such high temperature treatments, the minority carrier lifetime in FZ silicon is unstable and will affect the development of high efficiency (>24%) solar cells and surface passivation studies.

Microwave photoconductivity of bifacial silicon solar cells of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis><Superscript>+</Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">nn</Emphasis><Superscript>+</Superscript> type under laser irradiation

The microwave photoconductivity of silicon solar cells under laser irradiation has been investigated. It is shown that shunting of the solar cell region exposed to light by the rest of the cell may reduce significantly the relaxation time of microwave photoconductivity in comparison with the nonequilibrium charge carrier lifetime in the base region.     

Lateral carrier confinement in InGaN quantum-well nanorods

We review our studies on lateral carrier diffusion in micro-fabricated samples of InGaN nanorods and their parent quantum wells. The carrier diffusion is observed to be strongly confined in nanorods, as manifested by the reduction in the delayed-rise component of time-resolved photoluminescence traces. We further argue that the confinement of carrier diffusion can be applied to suppress the efficiency droop related to defect state recombination and to assist in the energy transfer between InGaN nanorods and nanocrystal phosphors for color conversion.     

Pulsed photo-conductivity and carrier recombination lifetime spectroscopy of metal doped germanium

A spectroscopic technique is presented, based on pulsed photo-conductivity and carrier lifetime measurements. The technique is implemented by using excitation light pulses with variable wavelength and duration, to generate excess carriers and to study deep levels as well as their impact on carrier lifetime in semiconductors. The carrier lifetime is measured simultaneously with the photo-ionization response as a function of the excitation photon energy. The technique is based on the analysis of amplitude and decay rate characteristics as a function of the wavelength of the light used for excitation. The photoconductivity transients are probed by microwaves. A calibration technique is discussed to relate the photo-conductivity response to the photo-ionization cross-section and the activation energy of deep levels present in the material.As the technique can be applied at room temperature, measurement conditions can be chosen which are relevant for device operation. The possibilities are illustrated for metal implanted and annealed Ge wafers. The obtained results are compared with those of capacitance-deep level transient spectroscopy analyses on similar samples, and with published results.     

Temperature-dependent optical properties of wurtzite InN

Optical properties and carrier recombination dynamics of a series of InN epilayers, with varying free electron concentrations, grown by molecular beam epitaxy were studied by steady-state photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved differential transmission spectroscopy. At room temperature strong PL around 0.7 eV was observed. Temperature-dependent PL measurements show a redshift of the peak energy and a linear increase of the emission linewidth with temperature. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that room temperature carrier lifetimes are inversely proportional to the free electron concentrations for theses samples. Carrier lifetime as long as 1.3 ns was observed in the best quality sample, indicating a highly improved crystalline quality.

Two different effects of Na on Cu2ZnSnS4 thin-film solar cells

Among the many factors that affect the characteristics of Cu₂ZnSnS₄ thin-film solar cells, the effects of Na were examined. Because Na passivates the grain boundaries (GBs) in absorber layers, the GBs increase the minority carrier collection by providing a current pathway through which the minority carriers can reach the buffer and window layer and be collected. However, excess Na remains in the absorber layer and diffuses into the buffer and window layers, where it acts as an impurity and traps the minority carriers, thus decreasing the solar cell characteristics. By applying an annealing process after the deposition of the buffer and window layers, the Na content could be decreased. By improving the solar cell characteristics, a power conversion efficiency of 6.43% was achieved.
