Characteristics of Boron Decorated TiO2 Nanoparticles for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Photoanode by Ching-Yuan Ho, J. K. Lin, Hong-Wen Wang

“…Oxygen vacancy defects generated by boron ions reduce Ti+4 and affect electron transport in dye-sensitized solar cells. Excess electrons originating from the oxygen vacancies of doped TiO2 downward shift in the conduction band edge and prompt the transfer of photoelectrons from the conduction band of the rutile phase to the lower energy anatase trapping sites; they then separate charges to enhance the photocurrent and Jsc. …”

Enlarging moment and regulating orientation of buried interfacial dipole for efficient inverted perovskite solar cells by Yang Peng, Yu Chen, Jing Zhou, Chuan Luo, Weijian Tang, Yuwei Duan, Yihui Wu, Qiang Peng

“…Abstract Carrier transport and recombination at the buried interface of perovskite have seriously restricted the further development of inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, an interfacial dipolar chemical bridge strategy to address this issue is presented. 2-(Diphenylphosphino) acetic acid (2DPAA) is selected as the linker to reconstruct the interfacial dipole, which effectively enlarges the interfacial dipole moment to 5.10 D and optimizes to a positive dipole orientation, thereby accelerating vertical hole transport, suppressing nonradiative recombination and promoting the perovskite crystallization. …”

Simulation of Nonpolar p-GaN/i-N/n-GaN Solar Cells by Ming-Jer Jeng

“…The understanding of the solar performance of non-polar InGaN-based solar cells will be interesting. For a pin non-polar solar cell with GaN p- and n-cladding layers, the conduction band offset (or barrier height, ) between an intrinsic layer and n-GaN layer is an important issue correlating to the efficiency and fill factor. …”

Effects of Surface Modification of Nanotube Arrays on the Performance of CdS Quantum-Dot-Sensitized Solar Cells by Danhong Li, Nengqian Pan, Jianjun Liao, Xiankun Cao, Shiwei Lin

“…CdS-sensitized TiO2 nanotube arrays have been fabricated using the method of successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction and used as a photoanode for quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells. Before being coated with CdS, the surface of TiO2 nanotube arrays was treated with TiCl4, nitric acid (HNO3), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), respectively, for the purpose of reducing the interface transfer resistance of quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells. …”
