Thermal annealing synthesis of titanium-dioxide nanowire-nanoparticle hetero-structures

Crystalline TiO₂ nanowire-nanoparticle hetero-structures were successfully synthesized from titanium foils by using a simple thermal annealing method with the aid of CuCl₂ at the atmospheric pressure. Nanowires were grown from Ti foils by simply annealing Ti foils at 850 °C. Then, TiCl₄ was delivered to TiO₂ nanowires so as to precipitate TiO₂ nanoparticles on nanowire surfaces. At 750 °C reaction temperature, nanoparticles of tens of nanometers in diameter were well distributed on pre-grown nanowire forests. Nanoparticles were likely to be precipitated by TiCl₄ decomposition or oxidation and that require high temperatures above ∼650 °C. Electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and UV-vis spectroscopy analyses show they have the rutile polycrystalline structure with a slightly enlarged bandgap compared to that of bulk TiO₂. The influence of key synthesis parameters including reaction temperature, reaction time, and quantity of supplied materials on the incorporating nanoparticles was also systematically studied. The optimum reaction condition in the present paper was identified to be 750 °C annealing with repetitive 20 min reactions. A higher reaction temperature yielded larger diameter particles, and higher loading of Ti produced dense particles without changing the particle size. Finally, this method could be utilized for synthesizing other metal oxide nanowires-nanoparticle hetero-structures.     

Combination of Cobalt and Iron Polypyridine Complexes for Improving the Charge Separation and Collection in Ru(terpyridine)2‐Sensitised Solar Cells

Mixtures of polypyridine Fe^II and Co^II complexes are used as electron mediators in Ru–thienyltpy‐sensitised solar cells (tpy=terpyridine). The use of the metalorganic redox couples allows for improved charge‐collection efficiency with respect to the classical iodide/iodine couple which, when associated to Ru–tpy₂ dyes, usually produces poor performance. The improved charge collection is explained by a combination of effective dye regeneration and decreased recombination with the oxidised electrolyte on the basis of data obtained by transient spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical measurements. The efficiency of the regeneration cascade is also critically dependent upon the ability of the Co^II complex to intercept Fe^III centres, as clearly indicated by chronocoulometry experiments.     

A Three‐Step Method for the Deposition of Large Cuboids of Organic–Inorganic Perovskite and Application in Solar Cells

A three‐step method for the deposition of CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite films with a high crystalline structure and large cuboid overlayer morphology is reported. The method includes PbI₂ deposition, which is followed by dipping into a solution of C₄H₉NH₃I (BAI) and (BA)₂PbI₄ perovskite formation. In the final step, the poorly thermodynamically stable (BA)₂PbI₄ phase converts into the more stable CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite by dipping into a solution of CH₃NH₃I. The final product is characterized by XRD, SEM, UV/Vis, and photoluminescence analysis methods. The experimental results indicate that the prepared perovskite has cuboids with high crystallinity and large sizes (up to 1 μm), as confirmed by XRD and SEM data. Photovoltaic investigations show that the three‐step method results in higher solar cell efficiency (15 % enhancement in efficiency) with a better reproducibility than the conventional two‐step deposition method.     

Coordination Chemistry Dictates the Structural Defects in Lead Halide Perovskites

We show the influence of species present in precursor solution during formation of lead halide perovskite materials on the structural defects of the films. The coordination of lead by competing solvent molecules and iodide ions dictate the type of complexes present in the films. Depending on the processing conditions all PbIS₅⁺, PbI₂S_4, PbI₃S₃^?, PbI₄S₂^2?, PbI₅S₂^3?, PbI₆^4?and 1D (Pb₂I₄)_n chains are observed by absorption measurements. Different parameters are studied such as polarity of the solvent, concentration of iodide ions, concentration of solvent molecules and temperature. It is concluded that strongly coordinating solvents will preferentially form species with a low number of iodide ions and less coordinative solvents generate high concentration of PbI₆^?. We furthermore propose that all these plumbate ions may act as structural defects determining electronic properties of the photovoltaic films.     

Ultrafast Photogenerated Hole Extraction/Transport Behavior in a CH3NH3PbI3/Carbon Nanocomposite and Its Application in a Metal‐Electrode‐Free Solar Cell

Aligned and flexible electrospun carbon nanomaterials are used to synthesize carbon/perovskite nanocomposites. The free‐electron diffusion length in the CH₃NH₃PbI₃ phase of the CH₃NH₃PbI₃/carbon nanocomposite is almost twice that of bare CH₃NH₃PbI₃, and nearly 95 % of the photogenerated free holes can be injected from the CH₃NH₃PbI₃ phase into the carbon nanomaterial. The exciton binding energy of the composite is estimated to be 23 meV by utilizing temperature‐dependent optical absorption spectroscopy. The calculated free carriers increase with increasing total photoexcitation density, and this broadens the potential of this material for a broad range of optoelectronics applications. A metal‐electrode‐free perovskite solar cell (power conversion efficiency: 13.0 %) is fabricated with this perovskite/carbon composite, which shows great potential for the fabrication of efficient, large‐scale, low‐cost, and metal‐electrode‐free perovskite solar cells.     

Syntheses,crystal structures,magnetic and luminescent properties of lanthanide complexes with nitronyl nitroxide radical as ligand

Four lanthanide-nitronyl nitroxide radical complexes, [Ln(hfac)₃(NIT-3Methien)₂] (Ln = Pr (1), Tb (2), Dy (3), Ho (4); hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate; NIT-3Methien = 2-(3-methylthiophene)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide), have been synthesized, and structurally and magnetically characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that 1–4 have similar mononuclear tri-spin structures in which central Ln(III) ions are eight coordinate by two NIT-3Methien radicals and three hfac coligands. The magnetic studies indicate that there are antiferromagnetic interactions between Ln(III) ions and radicals in 1, 2, and 4, while ferromagnetic interactions are present in 3. The luminescence properties of 2 and 3 were studied.     

Structures and luminescent properties of four compounds based on binuclear metal-terpyridine building blocks

Four new coordination polymers, [Cd(3-TPTP)Cl]₂ (3-HTPTP = 4′-(3-tetrazolylphenyl)2,2′:6′2′′-terpyridine, 1), {[Cd(3-TPTP)(pBDC)_0.5]?4H₂O}_n (pH₂BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 2), {[Mn(3-TPTP)(mBDC)_0.5]?5H₂O}_n (mH₂BDC = 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 3), and [Pb(3-TPTP)(H₂O)₂]?OH (4), were obtained. Compounds 1–3 are composed of binuclear [M₂(3-TPTP)₂] ring as building unit. In 1, the binuclear rings pack into a 3-D supramolecular framework via various hydrogen bonds. In 2 and 3, the binuclear rings are connected by mBDC^2? and pBDC^2?, respectively, resulting in two types of 1-D chains. In 4, the mononuclear [Pb(3-TPTP)] units are connected by Pb?N weak interactions, giving a chiral 1-D coordination chain, which is further connected by O–H?N interaction to form a chiral 3-D supramolecular framework. The phase purity of 1–4 and luminescence properties of 1, 2, and 4 were also investigated.
