Surface passivation in n-type silicon and its application in silicon drift detector

Based on the surface passivation of n-type silicon in a silicon drift detector(SDD), we propose a new passivation structure of SiO2/Al2O3/SiO2 passivation stacks. Since the SiO2 formed by the nitric-acid-oxidation-of-silicon(NAOS)method has good compactness and simple process, the first layer film is formed by the NAOS method. The Al2O3 film is also introduced into the passivation stacks owing to exceptional advantages such as good interface characteristic and simple process. In addition, for requirements of thickness and deposition temperature, the third layer of the SiO2 film is deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD). The deposition of the SiO2 film by PECVD is a low-temperature process and has a high deposition rate, which causes little damage to the device and makes the SiO2 film very suitable for serving as the third passivation layer. The passivation approach of stacks can saturate dangling bonds at the interface between stacks and the silicon substrate, and provide positive charge to optimize the field passivation of the n-type substrate.The passivation method ultimately achieves a good combination of chemical and field passivations. Experimental results show that with the passivation structure of SiO2/Al2O3/SiO2, the final minority carrier lifetime reaches 5223 μs at injection of 5×10¹⁵ cm^-3. When it is applied to the passivation of SDD, the leakage current is reduced to the order of nA.

Efficient CO2 to CO conversion at moderate temperatures enabled by the cobalt and copper co-doped ferrite oxygen carrier

Chemical looping technology holds great potential on efficient CO2 splitting with much higher CO production and CO2 splitting rate than photocatalytic processes.Conventional oxygen carrier requires high temperature(typically 850–1000°C)to ensure sufficient redox activity,but the stable and high CO2 conversion is favored at a lower temperature,leading to the degrading on the reaction kinetics as well as the low CO production and CO2 splitting rate.In this paper,we prepared several ternary spinels and demonstrated their performance for chemical looping CO2 splitting at moderate temperatures.Using the promotion effect of Cu to cobalt ferrite reduction and reversible phase change of the reduced metals,Cu0.4 Co0.6 Fe2 O4 exhibits high CO2 splitting rate(144.6μmol g–1 min–1)and total CO production(9100μmol g–1)at 650°C.The high performance of this earth-abundant spinel material is also consistent in repeated redox cycles,enabling their potential in industrial use.     

Failure analysis of pouch-type Li–O2 batteries with superior energy density

Li–O2 batteries have attracted significant interest in the past decade owing to their superior high specific energy density in contrast to conventional lithium ion batteries.An 8.7-Ah Li–O2 pouch cell with768.5 Wh kg^-1 was fabricated and characterized in this investigation and the factors that influenced the electrochemical performance of the Li–O2 pouch cell were studied.In contrast to coin/Swagelok-type Li–O2 cells,it was demonstrated that the high-loading air electrode,pulverization of the Li anode,and the large-scale inhomogeneity of the large pouch cell are the major reasons for the failure of Li–O2 batteries with Ah capacities.In addition,safety tests of large Li–O2 pouch cells were conducted for the first time,including nail penetration,crushing,and thermal stability.It was indicated that a self-limiting mechanism is a key safety feature of these batteries,even when shorted.In this study,Li–O2 batteries were investigated in a new size and capacity-scale,which may provide useful insight into the development of practical pouch-type Li–O2 batteries.

Salt effect on molecular orientation at air/liquid methanol interface

The salt effects on molecular orientation at air/liquid methanol interface were investigated by the polarization-dependent sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy(SFG-VS). We clarified that the average tilting angle of the methyl group to be u = 308 58 at the air/pure methanol surface assuming a d-function orientational distribution. Upon the addition of 3 mol/L Na I, the methyl group tilts further away from the surface normal with a new u = 418 38. This orientational change does not explain the enhancement of the SFG-VS intensities when adding Na I, implying the number density of the methanol molecules with a net polar ordering in the surface region also changed with the Na I concentrations. These spectroscopic findings shed new light on the salt effects on the surfaces structures of the polar organic solutions. It was also shown that the accurate determination of the bulk refractive indices and Raman depolarization ratios for different salt concentrations is crucial to quantitatively interpret the SFG-VS data.     

Alcohol/water-soluble porphyrins as cathode interlayers in high-performance polymer solar cells

Three alcohol/water-soluble porphyrins,Zn-TPy PMe I:zinc(II)meso-tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin tetra-iodide,ZnTPy PAd Br:zinc(II)meso-tetra[1-(1-adamantylmethyl ketone)-4-pyridyl]porphyrin tetra-bromide and Mn Cl-TPy PAd Br:manganese(III)meso-tetra[1-(1-adamantylmethyl ketone)-4-pyridyl]porphyrin tetra-bromide were employed as cathode interlayers to fabricate polymer solar cells(PSCs).The PC71BM([6,6]-phenyl C71 butyric acid methyl ester)and PCDTBT(poly[N-9″-hepta-decanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4′,7′-di-2-thienyl-2′,1′,3′-benzothiadiazole)])-blend films were used as active layers in polymer solar cells(PSCs).The PSCs with alcohol/water-soluble porphyrins interlayer showed obviously higher power conversion efficiency(PCE)than those without interlayers.The highest PCE,6.86%,was achieved for the device with Mn ClTPy PAd Br as an interlayer.Ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopic(UPS),carrier mobility,atomic force microscopy(AFM)and contact angle( )characterizations demonstrated that the porphyrin molecules can result in the formation of interfacial dipole layer between active layer and cathode.The interfacial dipole layer can obviously improve the open-circuit voltage(Voc)and charge extraction,and sequentially lead to the increase of PCE.

Surface modification of polyolefin separators for lithium ion batteries to reduce thermal shrinkage without thickness increase

Surface chemical modification of polyolefin separators for lithium ion batteries is attempted to reduce the thermal shrinkage, which is important for the battery energy density. In this study, we grafted organic/inorganic hybrid crosslinked networks on the separators, simply by grafting polymerization and condensation reaction. The considerable silicon-oxygen crosslinked heat-resistance networks are responsible for the reduced thermal shrinkage. The strong chemical bonds between networks and separators promise enough mechanical support even at high temperature. The shrinkage at 150 C for 30 min in the mechanical direction was 38.6% and 4.6% for the pristine and present graft-modified separators, respectively. Meanwhile, the grafting organic-inorganic hybrid crosslink networks mainly occupied part of void in the internal pores of the separators, so the thicknesses of the graft-modified separators were similar with the pristine one. The half cells prepared with the modified separators exhibited almost identical electrochemical properties to those with the commercial separators, thus proving that, in order to enhance the thermal stability of lithium ion battery, this kind of grafting-modified separators may be a better alternative to conventional silica nanoparticle layers-coated polyolefin separators.
