Graphene-Based Heterostructure Composite Sensing Materials for Detection of Nitrogen-Containing Harmful Gases

Graphene-based heterostructure composite is a new type of advanced sensing material that includes composites of graphene with noble metals/metal oxides/metal sulfides/polymers and organic ligands. Exerting the synergistic effect of graphene and noble metals/metal oxides/metal sulfides/polymers and organic ligands is a new way to design advanced gas sensors for nitrogen-containing gas species including NH₃ and NO₂ to solve the problems such as poor stability, high working temperature, poor recovery, and poor selectivity. Different fabrication methods of graphene-based heterostructure composite are extensively studied, enabling massive progress in developing chemiresistive-type sensors for detecting the nitrogen-containing gas species. With the components of noble metals/metal oxides/metal sulfides/polymers and organic ligands which are composited with graphene, each material has its attractive and unique electrical properties. Consequently, the corresponding composite formed with graphene has different sensing characteristics. Furthermore, working ambient gas and response type can affect gas-sensitive characteristic parameters of graphene-based heterostructure composite sensing materials. Moreover, it requires particular attention in studying gas sensing mechanism of graphene-based heterostructure composite sensing materials for nitrogen-containing gas species. This review focuses on related scientific issues such as material synthesis methods, sensing performance, and gas sensing mechanism to discuss the technical challenges and several perspectives.     

Dopant-Free Hole Transport Materials Based on a Large Conjugated Electron-Deficient Core for Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells

Hole transport materials (HTMs) play a significant role in device efficiencies and long-term stabilities of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this work, two simple dopant-free HTMs are designed with a large conjugated electron-deficient core. On the one hand, a large coplanar backbone endows enhanced π–π stacking and reduced hole hopping distance. On the other hand, the incorporation of electron-deficient unit can easily tune the energy levels as well as increase hole mobilities. Combining these two advantages together, 12,13-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-3,9-diundecyl-12,13-dihydro[1,2,5]thiadiazole[3,4-e]thieno[2″,3″:4,5]thieno[2′,3′:4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-g]thieno[2′,3′:4,5]thieno[3,2-b]indole is chosen as the large electron-deficient core to construct two novel dopant-free HTMs, Y6-T and Y-T. Both Y6-T and Y-T behave suitable highest occupied molecular orbital levels, good hole mobilities, as well as strong hydrophobicities. After careful device optimization with a passivation agent, Y-T delivers an impressive power conversion efficiency of 20.29%, which is higher than that of Y6-T (18.82%) and doped spiro-OMeTAD (19.24%). Moreover, PSCs based on Y6-T and Y-T show much better long-term stabilities than spiro-OMeTAD due to the intrinsic hydrophobicity. Therefore, this work provides a promising candidate as well as a useful design strategy for exploring dopant-free HTMs, which may pave the way for the commercialization of PSCs.

How small the contacts could be optimal for nanoscale organic transistors?

We report on a study seeking an optimized contact configuration for organic transistors that minimizes contact effects but maintains smallest contact size. We begin with the bulk access resistance in staggered transistors which results from the charge transport through the organic semiconductor film. Bulk access resistance is an intrinsic contributor to the contact resistance which has been little understood due to lack of a reliable study tool. In this work, we utilize the inner transported power inside the semiconductor film as a medium to investigate the contact resistance and the relevant contact effects. We examine the influences of the organic film thickness (t_SC), the channel length (L), the underlying charge transport and various organic semiconductor materials with variable carrier mobility. A roughly optimal contact length (L_C) of L_C0 ≈ 6t_SC is obtained. The results reveal that besides the device architecture the underlying charge transport should be also taken into account in designing organic transistors for practical application.     

meta-Linked spirobifluorene/phosphine oxide hybrids as host materials for deep blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes

This study investigated the use of a novel modification in molecular design to get two new electron-transport host materials, SF3PO and BSF3PO. By linking the phosphine oxide moieties at meta-position of spirobifluorene rings, higher triplet energies could be easily achieved for these two new materials. The steric spirobifluorene structures could guarantee their good thermal stabilities. According to these properties, their applications as host materials for deep blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) were explored. As expected, the deep blue emitting devices with Ir-complex FIr6 as phosphorescent dopants and SF3PO and BSF3PO as hosts had been fabricated and showed high efficiency of 28.5 and 22.0 cd/A, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of the para-linked analogue SPPO1.     

Towards thinner and low bowing silicon solar cells: form the boron and aluminum co‐doped back surface field with thinner metallization film

Using thinner wafers can largely reduce the cost of silicon solar cells. One obstacle of using thinner wafers is that few methods can provide good dopant concentration for the back surface field (BSF) and good ohmic contact while generated only in low bowing. In this paper, we have demonstrated the screening–printing B and Al (B/Al) mixture metallization film technique, making use of the screen‐printing technique and the higher solubility of B in silicon to form a B/Al‐BSF. This technique can raise the carrier concentration in the BSF by more than one order of magnitude and reduce the back surface recombination at a low firing temperature (≤800 °C). We have also shown that through the new technique, the metallization paste thickness at the rear could be reduced largely, which however did not degrade the solar cell efficiency. All these efforts are aiming for pushing forward the application of thinner wafers. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Improved nanocrystal formation,quantum confinement and carrier transport properties of doped Si quantum dot superlattices for third generation photovoltaics

An all‐Si tandem solar cell has the potential to achieve high conversion efficiency at low cost. However, the selection and synthesis of candidate material remain challenging. In this work, we show that the conventional ‘Si quantum dots (Si QDs) in SiO₂ matrix’ approach can lead to the formation of over‐sized Si nanocrystals especially when doped with phosphorous, making the size‐dependent quantum confinement less effective. Also, our investigation has shown that the high resistivity of this material has become the performance bottleneck of the solar cell. To resolve these matters, we propose a new design based on Si QDs embedded in a SiO₂/Si₃N₄ hybrid matrix. By replacing the SiO₂ tunnel barriers by the Si₃N₄ layers, the new material manages to constrain the growth of doped Si QDs effectively and enhances the apparent band gap, as shown in X‐ray diffraction, Raman, photoluminescence and optical spectroscopic measurements. Besides, electrical characterisation on Si QD/c‐Si heterointerface test structures indicates the new material possesses improved vertical carrier transport properties.
