Efficiency enhancement of dye-sensitized solar cells with addition of additives (single/binary) to ionic liquid electrolyte

The effect of addition of single and binary additives on the performance of dye-sensitized TiO₂ solar cells based on electrolytes containing an ionic liquid (IL), 1,2-dimethyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide (DMPII) has been studied. Among the seven additives used, the addition of 2-(dimethylamino)-pyridine (DMAP) to IL resulted in best cell efficiency, which showed further enhancement with the addition of 5-chloro-1-ethyl-2-methylimidazole (CEMI) as second additive. The efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) based on an electrolyte containing binary additives (DMAP and CEMI in equal molar ratios) has been found to increase by 62·5% from 4·35 to 7·07%. The dependence of different photovoltaic performance parameters (V _oc, J _sc, ff, η) of DSC upon temperature has been studied over a 30–120°C range and only a small decrease in conversion efficiency has been observed. The electrolyte containing binary additives (DMAP and CEMI) shows best cell performance up to 120°C.     

STRESS CONTROLLED FERROELECTRIC (BA0.5Sr0.5)TiO3 THIN FILMS PREPARED ON GD2O3/SRTiO3(001) BY A PULSED LASER DEPOSITION

ABSTRACT

Stress controlled epitaxial ferroelectric Ba_0.5Sr_0.5TiO₃ (BST) films have been deposited on Gd₂O₃/SrTiO₃ by pulsed laser deposition with oxygen background pressure of 200 mTorr at the deposition temperature of 750°C. In order to control the stress in BST films, oxygen pressures for Gd₂O₃ buffer layers have been varied from 0.1 to 100 mTorr, while that of BST films have been fixed at 200 mTorr. It has been found that the lattice parameters of the BST films deposited on Gd₂O₃ were changed. Furthermore, microwave properties of co-planar waveguide (CPW) fabricated on BST films were investigated by a HP 8510C vector network analyzer from 1–20 GHz. Large dielectric tunabilities were observed from the CPW's fabricated on BST films deposited on Gd₂O₃ layers deposited at low and high oxygen pressures, 0.1 and 100 mTorr, respectively.

Adaptive Step Size Control of LMS-based Interference Cancellationfor ICS Repeater in Wibro Environment

The use of repeater for the support of high rate data transmission and the extension of cell coverage is imperative for the Wibrc system,which based on the IEEE 8M.16e standardization.Generally,if the separation between transmitting and receiving antennas isnot sufficient,the oscillation of repeater and the interference due to the feedback signals from original transmitted signal may be ocerur.Hence,the Interference Cancellation System(ICS)should be implemented as the important part of the repeater system far the mobile cellular systems in order to eliminate unwanted signals from the corruptW signals in the receiver.In this paper,we propose an adaptive technique for the Least Mean Square(LMS)-based interference cancellation methods by changing the step size according to the variation of channel environment in order to improve the performance degradation which oceuurs by using the fixed step size approach.Simrlatim results show that the proposed sclxme attains a little lower Berafor Rate(BER)performance and much faster convergence speed compared to the conventional LMS-based interference cancellation techniques.The proposed scheme can be applied to other Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple(OFDM)-based cellular systems and also be expected to achieve a similar performance improvement to W17-advanced system,which is called as the next generation mobile communication standards.

液压挤压对复合铸造Al3003/Al4004包覆材料显微组织的影响(英文)

研究液压对混合复合铸造Al 3003/Al 4004包覆材料微观组织变化的影响。复合铸造Al 3003/Al 4004包覆材料试样为圆形,由Al 3003(外部)和Al 4004(内部)材料组成。采用液压设备,在温度423 K、挤压比5的条件下制造试样。在挤压之前,Al 4004材料的直径为80 mm,Al 3003材料的厚度为35 mm,在挤压后,2种材料的直径和厚度分别为30 mm和5 mm。研究了2个试样的微观组织和硬度。在挤压之前,复合铸造Al 3003/Al 4004包覆材料横截面的硬度以抛物线的形式向中心增大。然而,在挤压后,Al 4004材料的硬度几乎没有变化。在挤压之前,Al 3003和Al 4004材料的界面存在大量直径超过1 mm的大空洞,这些大空洞随着液压过程的进行而消失。

Synthesis and characterization of Ba(CoxNb1-x)O3 nanoparticles by hydrothermal processing

The nanosized Ba(Co_xNb_1–x)O₃(BCN) particles were prepared under high temperature and pressure conditions by precipitation from metal nitrates with aqueous potassium hydroxide. Ba(Co_xNb_1–x)O₃ powders were obtained in the temperature range of 170–210 °C for 6 h. The results show that the average size of the synthesized particles increases with increasing reaction temperature. The average size of the synthesized particles is about 10 nm. The crystalline phase of the synthesized particles is found to be Ba(Co_xNb_1–x)O_3. Ceramics derived from the nano BCN powders could achieve high sintering density at a relatively low sintering temperature.
