The isomerization reactions between the different conformers of 1- and 2-butoxy radicals at the X and B states have been also investigated with the MP2, B3LYP, and CASSCF methods. The non-radiative decay mechanisms of butoxy radicals at the B state have been characterized with the computed potential energy surfaces and intersections. Supported by recent LIF experimental results, it was predicted that the t-butoxy radical would predissociate via the B/C intersection. As to 1- and 2-butoxy radicals, the relative energies of the transition states for the isomerization reactions between conformers at the B state are much lower than those of the B/C intersections, resulting in the predominance of the isomerization in the decay of the B state for 1- and 2-butoxy radicals.展开更多

Also, the intertwined structure of polymers could isolate the oxygen and humidity effectively, thus reducing the consumption of triplet excitons. In consideration of these points, organic polymers would be another kind of ideal platform to realize RTP effect. This short review summarized the design strategy of the purely organic room temperature phosphorescence polymers, mainly focusing on the building forms of polymers and the corresponding inherent mechanisms,and also gives some outlooks on the further exploration of this field at the end of this paper.展开更多

In addition to the great successes in photovoltaics, their excellent luminescence and charge transport properties also make them promising for light emitting diodes (LEDs). To achieve high-efficiency perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs), extensive efforts have been carried out to enhance radiative recombination rates by confining the electrons and holes. In addition to enhancing radiative recombination rates, it is equally important to decrease the non-radiative recombination for improving the device performance. Passivation of the defects could be an efficient way for reducing the non-radiative recombination.展开更多

文摘The presence of SnZn-related defects in Cu_(2)ZnSn(S,Se)_(4)(CZTSSe)absorber results in large irreversible energy loss and extra irreversible electron-hole non-radiative recombination,thus hindering the efficiency enhancement of CZTSSe devices.Although the incorporation of Ag in CZTSSe can effectively suppress the SnZn-related defects and significantly improve the resulting cell performance,an excellent efficiency has not been achieved to date primarily owing to the poor electrical-conductivity and the low carrier density of the CZTSSe film induced by Ag substitution.Herein,this study exquisitely devises an Ag/H co-doping strategy in CZTSSe absorber via Ag substitution programs followed by hydrogen-plasma treatment procedure to suppress SnZn defects for achieving efficient CZTSSe devices.In-depth investigation results demonstrate that the incorporation of H in Ag-based CZTSSe absorber is expected to improve the poor electrical-conductivity and the low carrier density caused by Ag substitution.Importantly,the C=O and O-H functional groups induced by hydrogen incorporation,serving as an electron donor,can interact with under-coordinated cations in CZTSSe material,effectively passivating the SnZn-related defects.Consequently,the incorporation of an appropriate amount of Ag/H in CZTSSe mitigates carrier non-radiative recombination,prolongs minority carrier lifetime,and thus yields a champion efficiency of 14.74%,showing its promising application in kesterite-based CZTSSe devices.

文摘Room temperature phosphorescence(RTP) has drawn increasing attention for its great potential in practical applications.Polymers with large molecular weights and long chains tend to form coil, which can endow them with a high degree of possible rigidity and result in the much restricted non-radiative transition. Also, the intertwined structure of polymers could isolate the oxygen and humidity effectively, thus reducing the consumption of triplet excitons. In consideration of these points, organic polymers would be another kind of ideal platform to realize RTP effect. This short review summarized the design strategy of the purely organic room temperature phosphorescence polymers, mainly focusing on the building forms of polymers and the corresponding inherent mechanisms,and also gives some outlooks on the further exploration of this field at the end of this paper.

文摘The passivation of non-radiative states and inhibition of band tailings are desirable for improving the open-circuit voltage(V_(oc))of CZTSSe thin-film solar cells.Recently,alkali metal doping has been investigated to passivate defects in CZTSSe films.Herein,we investigate Li doping effects by applying Li OH into CZTSSe precursor solutions,and verify that carrier transport is enhanced in the CZTSSe solar cells.Systematic characterizations demonstrate that Li doping can effectively passivate non-radiative recombination centers and reduce band tailings of the CZTSSe films,leading to the decrease in total defect density and the increase in separation distance between donor and acceptor.Fewer free carriers are trapped in the band tail states,which speeds up carrier transport and reduces the probability of deep-level defects capturing carriers.The charge recombination lifetime is about twice as long as that of the undoped CZTSSe device,implying the heterojunction interface recombination is also inhibited.Besides,Li doping can increase carrier concentration and enhance build-in voltage,leading to a better carrier collection.By adjusting the Li/(Li+Cu)ratio to 18%,the solar cell efficiency is increased significantly to 9.68%with the fill factor(FF)of 65.94%,which is the highest FF reported so far for the flexible CZTSSe solar cells.The increased efficiency is mainly attributed to the reduction of V_(oc)deficit and the improved CZTSSe/Cd S junction quality.These results open up a simple route to passivate non-radiative states and reduce the band tailings of the CZTSSe films and improve the efficiency of the flexible CZTSSe solar cells.
文摘Solution-processed metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have received significant interest for cost-effective, high-performance optoelectronic devices. In addition to the great successes in photovoltaics, their excellent luminescence and charge transport properties also make them promising for light emitting diodes (LEDs). To achieve high-efficiency perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs), extensive efforts have been carried out to enhance radiative recombination rates by confining the electrons and holes. In addition to enhancing radiative recombination rates, it is equally important to decrease the non-radiative recombination for improving the device performance. Passivation of the defects could be an efficient way for reducing the non-radiative recombination.

文摘In this work,cubic-phased CeO_(2):18 mol%Yb^(3+)/2 moI%Er^(3+)nanospheres were prepared by coprecipitation method,in which the size of nanosphere was precisely controlled by regulating the amount of coprecipitator urea.The morphology evolution of CeO_(2):18%Yb3+/2%Er^(3+)samples that vary from nanosphere to nano-flower with extending the reaction time was elaborately investigated via increasing the amount of urea and increasing the reaction temperature.The influence of non-radiative relaxation(NR)processes and surface quenching on up-conversion emission output of CeO_(2):18%Yb^(3+)/2%Er^(3+)was investigated through varying the sizes and environmental temperatures.Tissue imaging experiment demonstrates that CeO_(2):18%Yb^(3+)/2%Er^(3+)nanospheres have the potential to act as luminescent imaging reagents in tissue imaging.

文摘The fabrication of multifunctional electronic devices based on the intriguing natures of organic semiconductors is crucial for organic electronics.Ultranarrow-bandgap materials are in urgent demand for fabricating high-performance organic photovoltaic(OPV)cells and highly sensitive near-infrared organic photodetectors(OPDs).By combining alkoxy modification and an asymmetric strategy,three narrowbandgap electronic acceptors(BTP-4F,DO-4F,and QO-4F)were synthesized with finely tuned molecular electrostatic potential(ESP)distributions.Through the careful modulation of electronic configurations,the optical absorption onsets of DO-4F and QO-4F exceeded 1μm.The experimental and theoretical results suggest that the small ESP of QO-4F is beneficial for achieving a low nonradiative voltage loss,while the large ESP of BTP-4F can help obtain high exciton dissociation efficiency.By contrast,the asymmetric acceptor DO-4F with a moderate ESP possesses balanced voltage loss and exciton dissociation,yielding the best power conversion efficiency of 13.6%in the OPV cells.OPDs were also fabricated based on the combination of PBDB-T:DO-4F,and the as-fabricated device outputs a high shot-noise-limited specific detectivity of 3.05×10^(13) Jones at 850 nm,which is a very good result for near-infrared OPDs.This work is anticipated to provide a rational way of designing high-performance ultranarrow-bandgap organic semiconductors by modulating the molecular ESP.

文摘Interfacial imperfections between the perovskite layer and the electron transport layer(ETL)in perovskite solar cells(PSCs)can lead to performance loss and negatively influence long-term operational stability.Here,we introduce an interface engineering method to modify the interface between perovskite and ETL by using multifunctional carbon dots(CDs).C=O in the CDs can chelate with the uncoordinated Pb2+in the perovskite material,inhibit interfacial recombination,and enhance the performance and stability of device.In addition,–OH in CDs forms hydrogen bonds with I-and organic cation in perovskite,inhibiting light-induced I2release and organic cation volatilization,causing irreversible degradation of perovskite films,thereby enhancing the long-term operational stability of PSCs.Consequently,we achieve the champion inverted device with an efficiency of 24.02%.The CDs-treated PSCs exhibit high operational stability,and the maximum power point tracking only attenuates by 12.5%after 1000 h.Interfacial modification engineering supported by multifunctional quantum dots can accelerate the road to stable PSCs.

文摘P-i-n type perovskite solar cells(PSCs)manifest some promising advantages in terms of remarkable operational stability,low-temperature processability,and compatibility for multi-junction devices,whereas they have relatively low efficiency compared to n-i-p type PSCs because of mismatched energy level alignment and poor interface quality at both n-and p-type contacts.Recently,great progress has been achieved in the p-i-n type PSCs,and efficiencies exceeding 25%have been reported from different research groups.Herein,state-of-the-art strategies in the deployment of high-performance p-i-n type PSCs have been systematically reviewed including engineering top-surface and buried interface of perovskitefilms with eliminated non-radiative charge recombination,modulating conduction types of the perovskites with well aligned energy level to facilitate charge transport,and designing effective hole transport materials for lossless charge extraction,and so on,based on which perspectives in the further design of efficient,stable and scalable p-i-n type PSCs are provided from the aspects of materials design,device fabrication,scalability and functionalization.
