Host-guest complexation effect of 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin on a C60-porphyrin light-to-photocurrent conversion system

In a light-to-photocurrent conversion system based on a C₆₀-porphyrin bilayer prepared by electrostatic alternate adsorption, porphyrin units in a porphyrin polymer have been isolated by cyclodextrin utilizing the host-guest interaction. In this system, a high quantum yield was achieved by suppression of self-quenching of porphyrin units.     

6AZO-CONTAINING SELF-ASSEMBLY ULTRA-THIN FILMS AND THEIR PHOTOVOLTAIC PROPERTIES

A kind of azo-containing resin (Azo-R) was synthesized by a simple way through the coupling reaction of 2-nitro-N-methyldiphenylamine-4-diazoresin (NDR) with phenol, and a new covalentely attached multilayer film from Azo-R as H-donor and photosensitive diazoresin, diphenylamine-4-diazoresin (DR) as H-acceptor via H-bonding attraction by selfassembly technique has been fabricated. Following the decomposition of diazonium group of DR under exposure to UV light, the H-bonds between the layers of the film convert to covalent bonds and the film becomes very stable toward polar solvents or electrolyte aqueous solutions. Thus the UV-irradiated azo-containing films can be used to measure photocurrent in a conventional three-electrode photoelectrochemical cell using KCl as supporting electrolyte. It was confirmed that the azo-containing multilayer film is responsible for the photocurrent generation.     

Laser-beam-induced current in two-dimensional <Emphasis Type="Italic">n-p-n</Emphasis>-structures

Appearance of a transverse photocurrent at local excitation, by an optical beam, of the surface of n-p-n-structure realized on the basis of a two-dimensional electron gas is studied theoretically. It is shown that the magnitude and sign of the photocurrent depend on the coordinate of the center of light spot. Conditions of linearity of this dependence are found demonstrating the suitability of two-dimensional bipolar structures for use in position-sensitive detectors with high spatial resolution.     

Charge carrier decay and diffusion in organic–inorganic CH3NH3PbI3–xClx perovskite based solar cell

In recent years, organic–inorganic lead halides attracted widespread interest, mainly due to their impressive photoconversion properties and low‐cost solution processing. In this study, we employed small amplitude transient photovoltage and photocurrent spectroscopy to investigate charge transport and recombination properties of perovskite CH₃NH₃PbI_3–xCl_x solar cell under realistic light harvesting conditions (<1 sun). Cell structure resembles outlay commonly found in organic photovoltaics, with perovskite absorber being sandwiched between two thin layers of organic polymers. Tested device displayed high power conversion efficiency (10.3%), good fill factor and negligible hysteresis effect. Fundamental device parameters were characterized at various open‐circuit voltages (V_oc) by examination of small voltage and current perturbations created by the low intensity pulsed laser excitations. The obtained results exhibit long charge carrier lifetimes and fast charge transport over the full range of applied optical bias, as well as remarkable diffusion lengths exceeding 1 μm.

SrTiO3/α-Fe2O3异质结光阳极光电转换性能

作为一类重要的光电极材料,α-Fe2O3在太阳能转化方面有着潜在的应用前景.但是,光生电子空穴对的再复合导致α-Fe2O3的光电量子产率很低.为了抑制光生电子空穴对的再复合,提高α-Fe2O3的光电量子产率,采用Spin-coating方法在透明导电玻璃FTO(SnO2:F)衬底上制备了SrTiO3/α-Fe2O3异质结薄膜光电极,并对该光电极进行了XRD、SEM、紫外-可见透射光谱的表征.在三电极光电化学测试系统中对薄膜的光电流-电压特性、入射光子电流转化效率(Incident photon to current efficiency,IPCE)对波长的依赖性进行了表征.在相同的Xe灯照射条件下,SrTiO3/α-Fe2O3异质结光电极的光电流及IPCE值大于单一的SrTiO3、α-Fe2O3各自的光电流及IPCE值,这与理论预测的结论一致.     

Solvent and electric field dependence of the photocurrent generation in donor：acceptor blend system

This paper reports that the blend films of poly (2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethyl-hexyloxy)-p-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) and N,N'-bis(1-ethylpropyl)-3,4: 9,10-perylene bis (tetracarboxyl diimide) (EP-PDI) with the weight ratio of 1:2.5 have been prepared by spin-coating from chloroform (CF) and chlorobenzene (CB) solutions respectively. The absorption spectra and the morphology of the blend films show that large crystal-like EP-PDI aggregates are formed in film prepared from CB solution, which corresponds to a new absorption shoulder near 590nm, while there is no shoulder around 590\,nm in the UV--Vis absorption spectra of the blend film from CF solution. The electric-field dependence spectra of the photocurrent generation quantum yield of the film from CB solution shows that at weak electric field the EP-PDI aggregates act as more efficient sensitizers, but at strong electric field the quantum yields become almost invariable over the entire spectral range no matter what the state of EP-PDI, monomer or aggregate. At strong electric field, the photocurrent generation yields of both films from CF and CB solution saturate and their yield spectra become spectrally similar, mentioning that at strong electric field the photoexcitons dissociate efficiently and the free charges are collected by the electrodes almost completely.

Dynamics of excitons and carriers at the NPB/C60 interface by transient photocurrents

The transient photocurrent (TPC) technique was performed to explore the dynamics of excitons and carriers at organic active layer/buffer layer interfaces. A special device with ITO/PEIE/NPB/C₆₀/Al structure was designed to study the interfacial processes at the NPB/C₆₀ interface. An external electrical field was provided to neutralize the built-in electrical field of the device. Interestingly, a new phenomenon was observed, wherein the polarity of the TPC changed from negative to positive under an external electrical field. The initial negative signal was ascribed to exciton separation by the built-in field in C₆₀, and the subsequent positive signal can be attributed to the diffusion of electrons that accumulate at the NPB/C₆₀ interface. TPC measurements shown that further increasing the external electrical field causes polarity to change twice. Analyzing the two changes in polarity revealed that the NPB did not only extract holes from C₆₀ but also provided an effective interface for exciton dissociation.
