B-N共掺杂改善p型ZnO的理论分析

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理赝势法对B缺陷在ZnO中的存在形式进行了理论分析,对B-N共掺杂ZnO体系的晶格结构、杂质形成能、杂质态密度及电子结构进行了系统的研究.研究表明,B缺陷在掺杂体系中主要以BZn的形式存在,这种结构会引起相应的晶格收缩;研究发现与以往的N掺杂相比,共掺结构具有更低的杂质形成能和更高的化学稳定性,因此更加适合掺杂.此外,共掺能够形成更低的受主能级,因而减小了受主的杂质电离能,提高了受主态密度;研究显示共掺结构下的杂质N原子与体相Zn原子之间的键合能力提高,受主原子得电子的能力增强,因此B-N共掺有望成为一种更为有效的p型掺杂手段.

Ag-N共掺p型ZnO的第一性原理研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理赝势法对Ag-N共掺杂ZnO体 系以及间隙N和间隙H掺杂p型ZnO: (Ag, N)体系的缺陷形成能和离化能进行了研究. 结果表明, 在Ag_Zn和N_O所形成的众多受主复合体中, Ag_Zn-N_O受主对不仅具有较低的缺陷形成能同时其离化能也相对较小, 因此, Ag_Zn-N_O受主对的形成是Ag-N共掺ZnO体系实现p型导电的主要原因. 研究发现, 当ZnO: (Ag, N)体系有额外间隙N原子存在时, Ag_Zn-N_O受主对容易与N_i形成Ag_Zn-(N₂)_{m O}施主型缺陷, 该施主缺陷的形成降低了Ag-N共掺ZnO的掺杂效率因而不利于p型导电. 当间隙H引入到ZnO: (Ag, N)体系时, H_i易与Ag_Zn-N_O受主对形成 受主-施主-受主复合结构(Ag_Zn-H_i-N_O), 此复合体的形成不仅提高了Ag_Zn-N_O受主对在ZnO中的固溶度, 同时还能使其受主能级变得更浅而有利于p型导电. 因此, H辅助Ag-N共掺ZnO可能是一种有效的p型掺杂手段. 关键词： p型ZnO 缺陷形成能 受主离化能 第一性原理

Well Dispersed SnO2 Nanoclusters Preparation and Modulation of Metal-Insulator Transition Induced by Ionic Liquid

Tin dioxide (SnO₂) has attracted broad interest due to its particular gas-sensor property. Nano- or atom-scale SnO₂ material has always been the aim in order to ultimately improve the sensitivity. However, until now, it remains difficult to synthesize SnO₂ nanoclusters by using traditional methods. In the present work, we have achieved the preparation of SnO₂ nanoclusters by using the cluster beam deposition technique. The obtained nanoclusters were well characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscope HR-TEM. Results indicated the formation of the well-dispersed SnO₂ nanoclusters with uniform size distribution (5-7 nm). Furthermore, an obvious metal insulator transition was observed by gating with ionic liquid. Combined with theory calculation, the corresponding mechanism was systematically analyzed from oxygen vacancy induced electron doping.

Enhancement of thermoelectric properties of D-A conjugated polymer through constructing random copolymers with more electronic donors

Developing new D-A conjugated polymer system for thermoelectric (TE) application is highly desirable. Herein, a series of random copolymers by incorporating 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) electron rich units into a diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) D-A conjugated polymer were designed and synthesized. Compared to the alternating conjugated copolymer PDPP-3T, the HOMO level of the random copolymers are increased as part of the electron deficiency acceptor DPP units in the polymer chain were superseded by electron rich EDOT, which could contribute to effective p-doping. Moreover, through incorporating EDOT to construct random copolymers, it can also induce an orientation change from face-on dominated to edge-on dominated orientation as well as enhance the packing of copolymer chains, which is beneficial to the charge transport. Under same doping condition, the electrical conductivities of the doped polymers increase and the Seebeck coefficient decrease as the increasing of EDOT content, resulting in an optimized power factor of 6.4 μW m⁻¹ K⁻² for the random polymer with EDOT content of 40% which is four times higher than that of alternating conjugated copolymer PDPP-3T. These results demonstrated that constructing random copolymers by incorporating more electronic donors into D-A conjugated polymers may be a promising strategy for developing TE conjugated polymers.     

Growth of nitrogen-doped p-type ZnO films by spray pyrolysis and their electrical and optical properties

Nitrogen-doped ZnO films were deposited on silicon (1 0 0) substrate using zinc acetate and ammonium acetate aqueous solution as precursors by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. Successful p-type doping can be realized at optimized substrate temperature. The p-type ZnO films show excellent electrical properties such as hole concentration of 10¹⁸ cm⁻³, hole mobility of 10² cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹ and resistivity of 10⁻² Ω cm. In the photoluminescence measurement, a strong near-band-edge emission was observed, while the deep-level emission was almost undetectable in both undoped and N-doped ZnO films. The growth and doping mechanism of N-doped ZnO films were discussed.

Hole‐Transport Materials for Perovskite Solar Cells

The pressure to move towards renewable energy has inspired researchers to look for ideas in photovoltaics that may lead to a major breakthrough. Recently the use of perovskites as a light harvester has lead to stunning progress. The power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells is now approaching parity (>22 %) with that of the established technology which took decades to reach this level of performance. The use of a hole transport material (HTM) remains indispensable in perovskite solar cells. Perovskites can conduct holes, but they are present at low levels, and for efficient charge extraction a HTM layer is a prerequisite. Herein we provide an overview of the diverse types of HTM available, from organic to inorganic, in the hope of encouraging further research and the optimization of these materials.
