An effective medium model with exponential valence and conduction band tail states is used to simulate the photovoltaic cell. The simulation result shows that the open circuit voltage depends Iinearly on the logarithm of the generation rate and the slope depends on the width of the valence band tail. The open circuit voltage decreases with the increasing width of the band tail. The dark and light ideality factors increase with the width of the valence band tail.展开更多

Numerous technological pathways exist in this field, each distinguished by the materials used and their implementation principles. However, the cost-efficiency ratio remains a significant challenge for researchers. Currently, organic materials are gaining popularity due to their relatively low cost. However, their performance, particularly in terms of conversion efficiency, still requires improvements. This study focuses on optimizing the organic photovoltaic cell ITO/MoO3/CARAPA/PCBM/Alq3/Al using SCAPS. Several parameters were considered, such as layer thickness, recombination center density, and doping, to improve the cell’s performance. The optimal parameters obtained include an efficiency of 3%, a fill factor of 81.67%, an open-circuit voltage of 1610 mV, and a short-circuit current of 2.28 mA/cm2. The study also revealed that doping the phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) layer has a significant impact on efficiency and short-circuit current, improving these parameters up to a certain point before causing degradation due to increased recombination. Furthermore, high doping of the tri (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) layer improves performance up to a critical threshold, after which degradation is also observed. In contrast, doping the molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) layer does not have a notable impact on cell performance. Regarding the thickness of the active Carapaprocera (CARAPA) and PCBM layers, non-optimal values lead to a decrease in performance. Similarly, an optimal thickness of the Alq3 layer significantly improves efficiency. These results highlight the importance of parameter optimization to maximize the efficiency of organic solar cells.展开更多

文摘针对不同底纹背景颜色的印制电路板(printed circuit board,PCB)微小缺陷检测样本少、效率低、检测算法参数量大和精度低的问题,本文基于YOLOv8n框架提出了一种轻量化检测模型PCB-YOLO。首先,对原始的多种颜色背景的大幅面PCB数据集进行数据预处理,通过灰度变换和切片操作得到适合YOLOv8输入尺寸的PCB数据和降低颜色背景干扰影响,防止PCB的微小缺陷在缩放的过程中丢失;其次,考虑到PCB存在小目标缺陷的占比较大问题,通过结合SimAM注意力机制和合并切片操作,设计Conv_SWS(SimAM with slicing)模块,替代传统的下采样方式,保留小目标的关键信息,从而增强PCB中微小目标缺陷的特征提取并提高检测准确性;然后,对YOLOv8中原有的C2f模块进行改造,引入部分卷积(PConv)对关键特征通道进行综合计算,设计FBC2f模块,用于增强特征提取能力并减少模型参数量;最后,采用基于Wasserstein距离的度量标准NWD(normalized Wasserstein distance)与标准IoU(intersection over union)结合改进损失函数来加速模型收敛,进一步提高YOLOv8对微小目标的检测能力。实验结果表明,与原始的YOLOv8n相比,在PCB缺陷检测数据集上的PCB-YOLO模型的参数减少了23.6%,mAP50提高了2.9%,达到95.6%。在工业铝片表面缺陷、PKU-Market-PCB缺陷数据集上的泛化性实验也验证了PCB-YOLO模型的有效性。
