Effective utilization of excitation energy in nanoemitters requires control of exciton flow at the nanoscale. This can be readily achieved by exploiting near‐field nonradiative energy transfer mechanisms such as dipole‐dipole coupling (i.e., Förster resonance energy transfer) and simultaneous two‐way electron transfer via exchange interaction (i.e., Dexter energy transfer). In this feature article, we review nonradiative energy transfer processes between emerging nanoemitters and exciton scavengers. To this end, we highlight the potential of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals, organic semiconductors, and two‐dimensional materials as efficient exciton scavengers for light harvesting and generation in optoelectronic applications. We present and discuss unprecedented exciton transfer in nanoemitter–nanostructured semiconductor composites enabled by strong light–matter interactions. We elucidate remarkably strong nonradiative energy transfer in self‐assembling atomically flat colloidal nanoplatelets. In addition, we underscore the promise of organic semiconductor–nanocrystal hybrids for spin‐triplet exciton harvesting via Dexter energy transfer. These efficient exciton transferring hybrids will empower desired optoelectronic properties such as long‐range exciton diffusion, ultrafast multiexciton harvesting, and efficient photon upconversion, leading to the development of excitonic optoelectronic devices such as exciton‐driven light‐emitting diodes, lasers, and photodetectors. 相似文献

InAs nanocrystals field‐effect transistors with an ON/OFF ratio of 105 are reported. By tailoring the interface regions in the active layer step‐by‐step, the evolution of the ON/OFF ratio can be followed from approximately 5 all the way to around 105. The formation of a semiconducting solid from colloidal nanocrystals is achieved through targeted design of the nanocrystal–nanocrystal interaction. The manipulation characteristics of the nanocrystal interfaces include the matrix surrounding the inorganic core, the interparticle distance, and the order of nanocrystals in the 3D array. Through careful analysis of device characteristics following each treatment, the effect of each on the physical properties of the films are able to be verified. The enhanced performance is related to interparticle spacing, reduction in sub‐gap states, and better electronic order (lower σ parameter). Films with enhanced charge transport qualities retain their quantum‐confined characteristics throughout the procedure, thus making them useful for optoelectronic applications. 相似文献

Charge transfer processes between donor–acceptor complexes and metallic electrodes are at the heart of novel organic optoelectronic devices such as solar cells. Here, a combined approach of surface‐sensitive microscopy, synchrotron radiation spectroscopy, and state‐of‐the‐art ab initio calculations is used to demonstrate the delicate balance that exists between intermolecular and molecule–substrate interactions, hybridization, and charge transfer in model donor–acceptor assemblies at metal‐organic interfaces. It is shown that charge transfer and chemical properties of interfaces based on single component layers cannot be naively extrapolated to binary donor–acceptor assemblies. In particular, studying the self‐assembly of supramolecular nanostructures on Cu(111), composed of fluorinated copper‐phthalocyanines (F16CuPc) and diindenoperylene (DIP), it is found that, in reference to the associated single component layers, the donor (DIP) decouples electronically from the metal surface, while the acceptor (F16CuPc) suffers strong hybridization with the substrate. 相似文献

Core/shell tetrapods synthesized from CdSe and CdTe exhibit a type II band offset that induces separation of charge upon photoexcitation and localizes carriers to different regions of the tetrahedral geometry. CdSe/CdTe nanocrystals immobilized on oleylamine‐functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets can be homogeneously mixed with an organic dye (PCDTBT) to form donor–acceptor dispersed heterojunctions and exhibit a high power conversion efficiency of ~3.3% in solar cell devices. The near‐IR light absorbing type II nanocrystals complement the absorption spectrum of the visible light‐absorbing organics. The high efficiency is attributed to the amine‐functionalized rGO sheets, which allow intimate contact with the nanocrystals and efficient dispersal in the organic matrix, contributing to highly efficient charge separation and transfer at the nanocrystal, rGO, and polymer interfaces. 相似文献

A novel pyrene‐substituted thioethyl‐porphyrazine ( PzPy ) and the formation of supramolecular assembly with nanocarbons demonstrating photoinduced electron transfer ability are designed. As revealed by spectroscopic and electrochemical studies, PzPy displays wide spectral absorption in the visible range, charge separation upon photoexcitation, as well as bandgap and highest occupied/lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO/LUMO) energy values, matching the key requirements of organic optoelectronic. Moreover, the presence of a pyrene moiety promotes attractive interactions with π‐conjugated systems. In particular, theoretical calculations show that in the PzPy the HOMO and LUMO are localized on different positions of the molecule, i.e., the HOMO on the pyrene moiety and the LUMO on the macrocycle. Therefore, HOMO–LUMO excitation gives rise to a charge separation, preventing excitons recombination. Two kinds of noncovalent hybrid composites are prepared by mixing the PzPy with single‐wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and graphene nanoflakes (GNFs), respectively, and used for photocurrent generation through charge transfer processes between PzPy and nanocarbons. Photoconduction experiments show photocurrent generation upon visible light irradiation of both PzPy /SWNT and PzPy /GNF composites (0.78 and 0.71 mA W?1 at 500 nm, respectively), demonstrating their suitability for optoelectronic applications and light harvesting systems. 相似文献

Semiconductor nanocrystals are promising materials for printed optoelectronic devices, but their high surface areas are susceptible to forming defects that hinder charge carrier transport. Furthermore, correlation of chalcogenide nanocrystal (NC) material properties with solar cell operation is not straightforward due to the disorder often induced into NC films during processing. Here, an improvement in long‐range ordering of PbSe NCs symmetry that results from halide surface passivation is described, and the effects on chemical, optical, and photovoltaic device properties are investigated. Notably, this passivation method leads to a nanometer‐scale rearrangement of PbSe NCs during ligand exchange, improving the long‐range ordering of nanocrystal symmetry entirely with inorganic surface chemistry. Solar cells constructed with a variety of architectures show varying improvement and suggest that triplet formation and ionization, rather than carrier transport, is the limiting factor in singlet fission solar cells. Compared to existing protocols, our synthesis leads to PbSe nanocrystals with surface‐bound chloride ions, reduced sub‐bandgap absorption and robust materials and devices that retain performance characteristics many hours longer than their unpassivated counterparts. 相似文献

Anisotropic fluorescent hybrid microfibers with distinct optical properties and delicate architectures have aroused special interest because of their potential applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery, sensors, and functional textiles. Microfluidic systems have provided an ideal microreactor platform to produce anisotropic fibers due to their simplified manipulation, high efficiency, flexible controllability, and environmental‐friendly chemical process. Here a novel microfiber reactor based on a microfluidic spinning technique for in situ fabrication of nanocrystals loaded anisotropic fluorescent hybrid microfibers is demonstrated. Multiple nanocrystal reactions are carried out in coaxial flow‐based microdevices with different geometric features, and various nanocrystals loaded microfibers with solid, string‐of‐beads and Janus topographies are obtained. Moreover, the resulted anisotropic fluorescent hybrid microfibers present multiple optical signals. This strategy contributes a facile and environmental‐friendly route to anisotropic fluorescent hybrid microfibers and might open a promising avenue to multiplex optical sensing materials. 相似文献

The integration of colloidal nanocrystals with polymers adds optoelectronic functionalities to flexible and mechanically robust organic films. In particular, self‐assembled structures of nanocrystals in polymers can act as functional components enhancing, for instance, transport or optical properties of the hybrid material. This study presents Cu2Te hexagonal nanodisks that assemble into ribbons with a face‐to‐face configuration in poly(3‐hexylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl) through a controlled solvent evaporation process. The ribbons form weaving patterns that create 3D networks fully embedded in the thin polymer film at high nanodisk concentration. The photoresponse of these composite films measured in a layered vertical geometry demonstrates increased photocurrent with increasing nanocrystal loading. This study attributes this behavior to the presence of networks of Cu2Te nanodisks that form a bulk heterojunction with the semiconducting polymer, which improves exciton dissociation and the overall photoelectric response. 相似文献

Effective engineering of surface ligands in semiconductor nanocrystals can facilitate the electronic interaction between the individual nanocrystals, making them promising for low‐cost optoelectronic applications. Here, the use of high purity Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanocrystals as the photoactive layer and hole‐transporting material is reported in low‐temperature solution‐processed solar cells. The high purity CZTS nanocrystals are prepared by engineering the surface ligands of CZTS nanocrystals, capped originally with the long‐chain organic ligand oleylamine. After ligand removal, CZTS nanocrystals show substantial improvement in photoconductivity and mobility, displaying also an appreciable photoresponse in a simple heterojunction solar cell architecture. More notably, CZTS nanocrystals exhibit excellent hole‐transporting properties as interface layer in perovskite solar cells, yielding power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.4% with excellent fill factor (FF) of 81%. These findings underscore the importance of removing undesired surface ligands in nanocrystalline optoelectronic devices, and demonstrate the great potential of CZTS nanocrystals as both active and passive material for the realization of low‐cost efficient solar cells. 相似文献

Layered hybrid perovskites have emerged as a promising alternative to stabilizing hybrid organic–inorganic perovskite materials, which are predominantly based on Ruddlesden‐Popper structures. Formamidinium (FA)‐based Dion‐Jacobson perovskite analogs are developed that feature bifunctional organic spacers separating the hybrid perovskite slabs by introducing 1,4‐phenylenedimethanammonium (PDMA) organic moieties. While these materials demonstrate competitive performances as compared to other FA‐based low‐dimensional perovskite solar cells, the underlying mechanisms for this behavior remain elusive. Here, the structural complexity and optoelectronic properties of materials featuring (PDMA)FAn–1PbnI3n+1 (n = 1–3) formulations are unraveled using a combination of techniques, including X‐ray scattering measurements in conjunction with molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations. While theoretical calculations suggest that layered Dion‐Jacobson perovskite structures are more prominent with the increasing number of inorganic layers (n), this is accompanied with an increase in formation energies that render n > 2 compositions difficult to obtain, in accordance with the experimental evidence. Moreover, the underlying intermolecular interactions and their templating effects on the Dion‐Jacobson structure are elucidated, defining the optoelectronic properties. Consequently, despite the challenge to obtain phase‐pure n > 1 compositions, time‐resolved microwave conductivity measurements reveal high photoconductivities and long charge carrier lifetimes. This comprehensive analysis thereby reveals critical features for advancing layered hybrid perovskite optoelectronics. 相似文献

The photo‐induced charge transfer and the dynamics of persistent charge carriers in blends of semiconducting polymers and nanocrystals are investigated. Regioregular poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is used as the electron donor material, while the acceptor moiety is established by CdSe nanocrystals (nc‐CdSe) prepared via colloidal synthesis. As a reference system, organic blends of P3HT and [6,6]‐phenyl C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) are studied as well. The light‐induced charge transfer between P3HT and the acceptor materials is studied by photoluminescence (PL), photo‐induced absorption (PIA) and light‐induced electron spin resonance spectroscopy (LESR). Compared to neat P3HT samples, both systems show an intensified formation of polarons in the polymer upon photo‐excitation, pointing out successful separation of photogenerated charge carriers. Additionally, relaxation of the persistent charge carriers is investigated, and significant differences are found between the hybrid composite and the purely organic system. While relaxation, reflected in the transient signal decay of the polaron signal, is fast in the organic system, the hybrid blends exhibit long‐term persistence. The appearance of a second, slow recombination channel indicates the existence of deep trap states in the hybrid system, which leads to the capture of a large fraction of charge carriers. A change of polymer conformation due to the presence of nc‐CdSe is revealed by low temperature LESR measurements and microwave saturation techniques. The impact of the different recombination behavior on the photovoltaic efficiency of both systems is discussed. 相似文献

Surface engineering of silicon nanocrystals directly in water or ethanol by atmospheric‐pressure dc microplasma is reported. In both liquids, microplasma processing stabilizes the optoelectronic properties of silicon nanocrystals. The microplasma treatment induces non‐equilibrium liquid chemistry that passivates the silicon nanocrystals surface with oxygen‐/organic‐based terminations. In particular, the microplasma treatment in ethanol drastically enhances the silicon nanocrystals photoluminescence intensity and causes a clear red‐shift (≈80 nm) of the photoluminescence maximum. The photoluminescence properties are stable after several days of storage in either ethanol or water. The surface chemistry induced by the microplasma treatment is analyzed and discussed. 相似文献

A new strategy for creating the energy transfer spectral conversion thin film by using fluorophore‐functionalized molecular gelation is proposed. This is based on the facts that nanofibrillar phase separation of the self‐assembling pyrene derivative as a fluorophore is formed in a bulk polymer‐containing organic gel, and consequently that the phase‐separated nano domain in a polymer thin film is enough small to keep the transparency but also extremely high Storks shift is gained by efficient excimer formation through highly ordered stacking among the pyrene moieties. When the phase separation‐mediated functional polymer is applied as spectral conversion films (SCFs) for copper–indium–gallium–selenide (CIGS) solar cell, the SCF‐covered solar cell exhibits significant improvement of power conversion efficiency by increase of photocurrent. In this paper, the FRET efficiency and emission wavelength are also demonstrated to be thermotropically switchable since order‐to‐disordered transitions are essential characteristics of as non‐covalent low molecular assembling. 相似文献

Thin film solar cells that are low in cost but still reasonably efficient comprise an important strategy for reaching price‐performance ratios competitive with fossil fuel electrical generation. Sensitized solar cells – most commonly dye but also semiconductor nanocrystal sensitized – are a thin film device option benefitting from lost cost material components and processing. Nanocrystal sensitized solar cells are predicted to outpace their dye‐based counterparts, but suffer from limited availability of approaches for integrating the nano‐sensitizers within a mesoporous oxide anode, which effectively limits the choice of sensitizer to those that are synthesized in situ or those that are easily incorporated into the oxide framework. The latter methods favor small, symmetric nanocrystals, while highly asymmetric semiconductors (e.g., nanowires, tetrapods, carbon nanotubes) have to date found limited utility in sensitized solar‐cell devices, despite their promise as efficient solar energy converters. Here, a new strategy for solar cell fabrication is demonstrated that is independent of sensitizer geometry. Nanocrystal‐sensitized solar cells are fabricated from either CdSe semiconductor quantum dots or nanowires with facile control over nanocrystal loading. Without substantial optimization and using low processing temperatures, efficiencies approaching 2% are demonstrated. Furthermore, the significance of a ‘geometry‐independent’ fabrication strategy is shown by revealing that nanowires afford important advantages compared to quantum dots as sensitizers. For equivalent nanocrystal masses and otherwise identical devices, nanowire devices yield higher power conversion efficiencies, resulting from both enhanced light harvesting efficiencies for all overlapping wavelengths and internal quantum efficiencies that are more than double those obtained for quantum dot devices. 相似文献

The major impediment to the high photovoltaic performance of organic solar cells (OSCs) involves deficient photon harvesting and ineffective charge transfer from the photoactive layer to the electrodes. To improve these constraints, in this study, a new OSC device architecture is demonstrated by incorporating PbS colloidal quantum dots (QDs) between the organic photoactive layer and the top electrode. PbS QDs were spin-coated on top of an organic blend via a layer-by-layer deposition process, which formed a separate PbS QD layer with high density and uniformity. The PbS QD layer reinforced the optical property of the OSC by harvesting photons that were not absorbed by the underlying organic photoactive layer. In addition, the OSC employing the QD layer showed the enhanced charge transfer and suppressed recombination loss through the hybrid organic-inorganic interfacial contacts. Thus, a significant increase in the efficiency was achieved compared with the OSC with no PbS QD layer (10.12 vs 8.84%). Accompanied with the improved optoelectronic properties, a superior stability of the proposed architecture advances the practical viability of OSCs in various applications. 相似文献

This article presents a simple and effective method of functionalizing hydrogen‐terminated silicon (Si) nanocrystals (NCs) to form a high‐quality colloidal Si NC ink with short ligands that allow charge transport in nanocrystal solid films. Si NCs fabricated by laser‐pyrolysis and acid etching are passivated with allyl disulfide via ultraviolet (UV)‐initiated hydrosilylation to form a stable colloidal Si NC ink. Then a Si NC‐based photodiode is directly fabricated in air from this ink. Only a solution‐processed poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxy‐thiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) electron blocking layer and top‐ and bottom‐contacts are needed along with the Si NC layer to construct the device. A Schottky‐junction at the interface between the Si NC absorber layer and aluminum (Al) back electrode drives charge separation in the device under illumination. The unpackaged Si NC‐based photodiode exhibites a peak photoresponse of 0.02 A W?1 to UV light in air, within an order of magnitude of the response of commercially available gallium phosphide (GaP), gallium nitride (GaN), and silicon carbide (SiC) based photodetectors. This provides a new pathway to large‐area, low‐cost solution‐processed UV photodetectors on flexible substrates and demonstrates the potential of this new silicon nanocrystal ink for broader applications in solution‐processed optoelectronics. 相似文献

The interfacial electronic structure between oxide thin films and organic semiconductors remains a key parameter for optimum functionality and performance of next‐generation organic/hybrid electronics. By tailoring defect concentrations in transparent conductive ZnO films, we demonstrate the importance of controlling the electron transfer barrier at the interface with organic acceptor molecules such as C60. A combination of electron spectroscopy, density functional theory computations, and device characterization is used to determine band alignment and electron injection barriers. Extensive experimental and first principles calculations reveal the controllable formation of hybridized interface states and charge transfer between shallow donor defects in the oxide layer and the molecular adsorbate. Importantly, it is shown that removal of shallow donor intragap states causes a larger barrier for electron injection. Thus, hybrid interface states constitute an important gateway for nearly barrier‐free charge carrier injection. These findings open new avenues to understand and tailor interfaces between organic semiconductors and transparent oxides, of critical importance for novel optoelectronic devices and applications in energy‐conversion and sensor technologies. 相似文献

A water‐soluble conjugated polymer (WCP) poly[(3,4‐dibromo‐2,5‐thienylene vinylene)‐co‐(p‐phenylene‐vinylene)] (PBTPV), containing thiophene rings with high charge‐carrier mobility and benzene rings with excellent solubility is designed and prepared through Wessling polymerization. The PBTPV precursor can be easily processed by employing water or alcohols as the solvents, which are clean, environmentally friendly, and non‐toxic compared with the highly toxic organic solvents such as chloroform and chlorobenzene. As a novel photoelectric material, PBTPV presents excellent hole‐transport properties with a carrier mobility of 5 × 10?4 cm2 V?1 s?1 measured in an organic field‐effect transistor device. By integrating PBTPV with aqueous CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) to produce the active layer of water‐processed hybrid solar cells, the devices exhibit effective power conversion efficiency up to 3.3%. Moreover, the PBTPV can form strong coordination interactions with the CdTe NCs through the S atoms on the thiophene rings, and effective coordination with other nanoparticles can be reasonably expected. 相似文献

This study reports a hybrid of two metal‐organic semiconductors that are based on organic charge transfer complexes of 7,7,8,8‐tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ). It is shown that the spontaneous reaction between semiconducting microrods of CuTCNQ with Ag+ ions leads to the formation of a CuTCNQ/AgTCNQ hybrid, both in aqueous solution and acetonitrile, albeit with completely different reaction mechanisms. In an aqueous environment, the reaction proceeds by a complex galvanic replacement (GR) mechanism, wherein in addition to AgTCNQ nanowires, Ag0 nanoparticles and Cu(OH)2 crystals decorate the surface of CuTCNQ microrods. Conversely, in acetonitrile, a GR mechanism is found to be thermodynamically unfavorable and instead a corrosion‐recrystallization mechanism leads to the decoration of CuTCNQ microrods with AgTCNQ nanoplates, resulting in a pure CuTCNQ/AgTCNQ hybrid metal‐organic charge transfer complex. While hybrids of two different inorganic semiconductors are regularly reported, this report pioneers the formation of a hybrid involving two metal‐organic semiconductors that will expand the scope of TCNQ‐based charge transfer complexes for improved catalysis, sensing, electronics, and biological applications. 相似文献

Graphdiyne, a novel large π‐conjugated carbon hole transporting material, is employed as anode buffer layer in colloidal quantum dots solar cells. Power conversion efficiency is notably enhanced to 10.64% from 9.49% compared to relevant reference devices. Hole transfer from the quantum dot solid active layer to the anode can be appreciably enhanced only by using graphdiyne to lower the work function of the colloidal quantum dot solid. It is found that the all‐carbon buffer layer prolongs the carrier lifetime, reducing surface recombination on the previously neglected back side of the photovoltaic device. Remarkably, the device also shows high long‐term stability in ambient air. The results demonstrate that graphdiyne may have diverse applications in enhancing optoelectronic devices. 相似文献
