Photovoltaic activity of Ti/MCM‐41

Ti/MCM‐41 is a well‐known heterogeneous catalyst for alkene epoxidation with organic peroxides. This titanosilicate contains isolated titanium atoms forming part of a framework of mesoporous silica whose structure is formed by parallel hexagonal channels 3.2 nm in diameter. The surface area and porosity of Ti/MCM‐41 are about 880 m² g^?1 and 0.70 cm³ g^?1, respectively. These values are among the highest for any material. Herein, we show that Ti/MCM‐41 exhibits photovoltaic activity. Dye‐sensitized solar cells using mesoporous Ti/MCM‐41 (2.8–5.7 % Ti content) as active layer, black dye N3 as photosensitizer and I₃^?/I^? in methoxyacetonitrile as electrolyte exhibit a V_OC, J_SC and FF of 0.44 V, 0.045 mA cm^?2 and 0.33, respectively. These values compare well against 0.75 V, 4.1 mA cm^?2 and 0.64, respectively, measured for analogous solar cells using conventional P‐25 TiO₂. However, the specific current density (J_SC/Ti atom) for the Ti/MCM‐41 is very similar to that of P25 TiO₂.     

一种高效染料敏化太阳电池电解质添加剂

报道了一种新型染料敏化太阳电池电解质添加剂——N-十六烷基吡啶碘(N-CPI).往电解质中添加0.02MN-CPI,能同时提高染料敏化太阳电池(DSSC)的短路电流和开路电压,光电转换效率也由4.429%提高到6.535%,增幅高达47.55%,由此可见,N-CPI是一种高效电解质添加剂.N-CPI这种功能来源于其双极性基团的特殊分子结构,这种结构使N-CPI在电解质中如表面活性剂那样形成有序分布,影响I-/I3-的扩散和氧化还原性能,进而影响DSSC的光电性能.     

Carbazole‐based conjugated polymers incorporating push/pull organic dyes: Synthesis,characterization, and photovoltaic applications

We have synthesized and characterized two new carbazole‐based conjugated polymers, PCDCN and PCDTA , incorporating two strong light‐absorbing organic dyes. These polymers exhibit relatively low band gaps (～1.5 eV) and broad absorption ranges (from 300 to 700 nm). We fabricated polymer solar cells incorporating these polymers as donors and [6,6]‐phenyl‐C₇₁‐butyric acid methyl ester (PC₇₁BM) as the acceptor. At a blending ratio of 1:4, we obtained power conversion efficiencies, under simulated AM 1.5 (100 mW/cm²) conditions, of 2.31% and 2.47% for the PCDCN ‐ and PCDTA ‐based devices, respectively. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

GeSn (0.524 eV) single-junction thermophotovoltaic cells based on the device transport model

Based on the transport equation of the semiconductor device model for 0.524 eV GeSn alloy and the experimental parameters of the material, the thermal-electricity conversion performance governed by a GeSn diode has been systematically studied in its normal and inverted structures. For the normal p⁺/n (n⁺/p) structure, it is demonstrated here that an optimal base doping N_d(a) = 3 (7)×10¹⁸ cm^-3 is observed, and the superior p⁺/n structure can achieve a higher performance. To reduce material consumption, an economical active layer can comprise a 100 nm-300 nm emitter and a 3 μm-6 μm base to attain comparable performance to that for the optimal configuration. Our results offer many useful guidelines for the fabrication of economical GeSn thermophotovoltaic devices.     

5-Nitrotetrazol and 1,2,4-Oxadiazole Methylene-Bridged Energetic Compounds: Synthesis,Crystal Structures and Performances

A new structural type for melt cast materials was designed by linking nitrotetrazole ring with 1,2,4-oxadiazole through a N-CH₂-C bridge for the first time. Three N-CH₂-C linkage bridged energetic compounds, including 3-((5-nitro-2H-tetrazol-2-yl) methyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (NTOM), 3-((5-nitro-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)methyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,4 -oxadiazole (NTOF) and 3-((5-nitro-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)methyl)-5-amine-1,2,4-oxadiazole (NTOA), were designed and synthesized through a two-step reaction by using 2-(5-nitro-2H-tetrazole -2-yl)acetonitrile as the starting material. The synthesized compounds were fully characterized by NMR (¹H, ¹³C), IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The single crystals of NTOM, NTOF and NTOA were successfully obtained and investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The thermal stabilities of these compounds were evaluated by DSC-TG measurements, and their apparent activation energies were calculated by Kissinger and Ozawa methods. The crystal densities of the three compounds were between 1.66 g/cm³ (NTOA) and 1.87 g/cm³ (NTOF). The impact and friction sensitivities were measured by standard BAM fall-hammer techniques, and their detonation performances were computed using the EXPLO 5 (v. 6.04) program. The detonation velocities of the three compounds are between 7271 m/s (NTOF) and 7909 m/s (NTOM). The impact sensitivities are >40 J, and the friction sensitivities are >360 N. NTOM, NTOF and NTOA are thermally stable, with decomposition points > 240 °C. The melting points of NTOM and NTOF are 82.6 °C and 71.7 °C, respectively. Hence, they possess potential to be used as melt cast materials with good thermal stabilities and better detonation performances than TNT.

SEMICONDUCTING POLYMER DEVICES:NEW DEVELOPMENTS

Since the discovery of metallic conductivity in doped conjugated polymers (such as in doped polyacetylene),semiconducting properties of undoped conugated polymers have been drawn equal attentions. In additonal to the interests in the nonlinear properites of funda-mental excitations in these materials,possibilities of device applocations (such as solar cells and field -effect transistors) have been investigated in the past decade. However,the perfor-mance of polymer devices developed in early times was far from that of commercial devices made with inorganic materials (which was commonly attributed to the low carrier mobility of these materials),that managers and engineers in device industry dropped their initial in-terests gradually on this type of materials in later 1980' s.
