THE SOLUTION OF RANDOM EIGENVALUE PROBLEM WITH SMALL STOCHASTIC PROCESSES

This paper considers an eigenvalue problem containing small stochastic processes. For every fixed is, we can use the Prufer substitution to prove the existence of the random solutions lambda(n) and u(n) in the meaning of large probability. These solutions can be expanded in epsilon regularly, and their correction terms can be obtained by solving some random linear differential equations.

Electrochemically Deposited CZTSSe Thin Films for Monolithic Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells with Efficiencies Over 17%

In spite of the high potential economic feasibility of the tandem solar cells consisting of the halide perovskite and the kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4(CZTSSe),they have rarely been demonstrated due to the difficulty in implementing solution-processed perovskite top cell on the rough surface of the bottom cells.Here,we firstly demonstrate an efficient monolithic two-terminal perovskite/CZTSSe tandem solar cell by significantly reducing the surface roughness of the electrochemically deposited CZTSSe bottom cell.The surface roughness(R_(rms))of the CZTSSe thin film could be reduced from 424 to 86 nm by using the potentiostatic mode rather than using the conventional galvanostatic mode,which can be further reduced to 22 nm after the subsequent ion-milling process.The perovskite top cell with a bandgap of 1.65 eV could be prepared using a solution process on the flattened CZTSSe bottom cell,resulting in the efficient perovskite/CZTSSe tandem solar cells.After the current matching between two subcells involving the thickness control of the perovskite layer,the best performing tandem device exhibited a high conversion efficiency of 17.5%without the hysteresis effect.

Solution‑Processed Transparent Conducting Electrodes for Flexible Organic Solar Cells with 16.61% Efficiency

Nonfullerene organic solar cells(OSCs)have achieved breakthrough with pushing the efficiency exceeding 17%.While this shed light on OSC commercialization,high-performance flexible OSCs should be pursued through solution manufacturing.Herein,we report a solution-processed flexible OSC based on a transparent conducting PEDOT:PSS anode doped with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid(CF3SO3H).Through a low-concentration and low-temperature CF3SO3H doping,the conducting polymer anodes exhibited a main sheet resistance of 35Ωsq−1(minimum value:32Ωsq−1),a raised work function(≈5.0 eV),a superior wettability,and a high electrical stability.The high work function minimized the energy level mismatch among the anodes,hole-transporting layers and electron-donors of the active layers,thereby leading to an enhanced carrier extraction.The solution-processed flexible OSCs yielded a record-high efficiency of 16.41%(maximum value:16.61%).Besides,the flexible OSCs afforded the 1000 cyclic bending tests at the radius of 1.5 mm and the long-time thermal treatments at 85°C,demonstrating a high flexibility and a good thermal stability.

Solution-processed perovskite solar cells

Perovskite solar cells(PSCs) have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for photovoltaic applications. Low-cost, low-temperature solution processes including coating and printing techniques makes PSCs promising for the greatly potential commercialization due to the scalability and compatibility with large-scale, roll-to-roll manufacturing processes. In this review, we focus on the solution deposition of charge transport layers and perovskite absorption layer in both mesoporous and planar structural PSC devices. Furthermore, the most recent design strategies via solution deposition are presented as well, which have been explored to enlarge the active area, enhance the crystallization and passivate the defects, leading to the performance improvement of PSC devices.

Current status and trends of carbon-based electrodes for fully solution-processed perovskite solar cells

Perovskite solar cells(PSCs) have revolutionized photovoltaic research. As a result, a certified power conversion efficiency(PCE) of 25.5% was recorded in late 2020. Although this efficiency is comparable with silicon solar cells;some issues remain partially unsolved, such as lead toxicity, instability of perovskite materials under continuous illumination, moisture and oxygen, and degradation of the metallic counter electrodes. As an alternative to tackle this last concern, carbon materials have been recently used, due to their good electrical and thermal conductivity, and chemical stability, which makes them one of the most promising materials to replace metallic counter electrodes in the fabrication of PSCs. This review highlights the recent advances of carbon-based PSCs, where the carbon electrode(CE) is the main actor.CEs have become very promising candidates for PSCs;they are mainly fabricated using a simple combination of graphite and carbon black powders embedded in a binder matrix, giving a paste that is then solution-processable, resulting in devices with improved quality stability, when compared to metallic electrodes. In this review, CE’s composition is emphasized, since it can give both, high and lowtemperature processed electrodes, compatible with different device configurations. Finally, the tendencies and opportunities to use CE in PSCs devices are presented.

ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF FILLING AND EXHAUSTING PROCESS IN PNEUMATIC SYSTEM

The filling and exhausting processes in a pneumatic system are involved with many factors, and numerical solutions of many partial differential equations are always adapted in the study of those processes, which have been proved to be troublesome and less intuitive. Analytical solutions based on loss-less tube model and average friction tube model are found respectively by using fluid net theory, and they fit the experimental results well. The research work shows that： Fluid net theory can be used to solve the analytical solution of filling and exhausting processes of pneumatic system, and the result of loss-less tube model is close to that of average friction model, so loss-less tube model is recommended since it is simpler, and the difference between filling time and exhausting time is determined by initial and final pressures, the volume of container and the section area of tube, and has nothing to do with the length of the tube.

Experimental verification of nanonization enhanced solubility for poorly soluble optoelectronic molecules

Solubility enhancement has been a priority to overcome poor solubility with optoelectronic molecules for solution-processable devices. This study aims to obtain experimental data on the effect of particle sizes on the solubility properties of several typical optoelectronic molecules in organic solvents, including the solubility results of 1,3-bis(9-carbazolyl)benzene(m CP), 1,3,5-tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)ben zene(TPBi) and 2-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-5-(4-biphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole(PBD) in ethanol and acetonitrile,respectively. Nanoparticles of m CP, TPBi and PBD with sizes from dozens to several hundred nanometers were prepared by solvent antisolvent precipitation method and their solubility were determined by using isothermal saturation method. The saturation solubility of nanoparticles of three kinds of optoelectronic molecules exhibited increase of 12.9%-25.7% in comparison to the same raw materials in the form of microparticles. The experimental evidence indicates that nanonization technology is a feasible way to make optoelectronic molecules dissolve in liquids with enhanced solubility.

Highly efficient solution-processed organic photovoltaics enabled by improving packing behavior of organic semiconductors

Solution processability is a unique property of organic semiconductors. The compact and regular π-π stacking between molecules is paramount in the performance of organic optoelectronic devices. However, it is still a challenge to improve their stacking quality without sacrificing the solution-processability from the aspect of materials design. Here, delicately engineered additives are presented to promote the formation of ordered aggregation of conjugated molecules by regulating their nucleation and growth dynamics. Intriguingly, the long-chain BTP-eC9-4F molecules can realize ordered aggregation comparable to short-chain ones without sacrificing processability. The domain size of BTP-eC9-4F aggregation is enlarged from 24.2 to 32.2 nm in blend films.Thereby exciton diffusion and charge transport become faster, contributing to the suppression of recombination losses. As a result, a power conversion efficiency of 19.2% is achieved in D18:BTP-eC9-4F based organic photovoltaics. Our findings demonstrate a facile strategy to improve the packing quality of solution-processed organic semiconductors for high-efficiency photovoltaics and beyond photovoltaics.

Scalable Deposition Methods for Large-Area Production of Perovskite Thin Films

The recent steady improvements in the performance of the nascent hybrid perovskite photovoltaic(PV)devices have led to power conversion efficiencies that rival the best-performing established PV technologies.However,to scale these laboratory demonstrations to PV module-scale production will require development of scalable deposition methods for perovskite thin films.Every record result for perovskite PVs so far was achieved via spin coating,a technique that is popular in research laboratories for thin-film coating over relatively small device areas,but not considered to be a method that could be used to scale up the manufacturing of perovskite PVs.Significantly larger thin-film areas are needed for future commercial PV products.Hence,some researchers have focused their efforts on perovskite deposition techniques that can be considered as scalable for mass production and have achieved notable results even on large areas.Here,we present an overview of the solution-based and vapor-based deposition processes;we explain their influence on the molecular crystal growth behavior of perovskite thin films and discuss the morphology as well as other material quality characteristics.By presenting a comprehensive comparison of the deposition techniques and the corresponding performance parameters for different device sizes,we intent to guide the growing research community through the methods that might enable mass production of perovskite solar products.

Printing photovoltaics by electrospray

Solution processible photovoltaics(PV)are poised to play an important role in scalable manufacturing of low-cost solar cells.Electrospray is uniquely suited for fabricating PVs due to its several desirable characteristics of an ideal manufacturing process such as compatibility with roll-to-roll production processes,tunability and uniformity of droplet size,capability of operating at atmospheric pressure,and negligible material waste and nano structures.This review begins with an introduction of the fundamentals and unique properties of electrospray.We put emphasis on the evaporation time and residence time that jointly affect the deposition outcome.Then we review the efforts of electrospray printing polymer solar cells,perovskite solar cells,and dye sensitized solar cells.Collectively,these results demonstrate the advantages of electrospray for solution processed PV.Electrospray has also exhibited the capability of producing uniform films as well as nanostructured and even multiscale films.So far,the electrospray has been found to improve active layer morphology,and create devices with efficiencies comparable with that of spin-coating.Finally,we discuss challenges and research opportunities that enable electrospray to become a mainstream technique for industrial scale production.

Tetraalkyl-substituted zinc phthalocyanines used as anode buffer layers for organic light-emitting diodes

Two soluble tetraalkyl-substituted zinc phthalocyanines(ZnPcs)for use as anode buffer layer materials in tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum(Alq3)-based organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs)are presented in this work.The holeblocking properties of these Zn Pc layers slowed the hole injection process into the Alq3 emissive layer greatly and thus reduced the production of unstable cationic Alq3(Alq3^+)species.This led to the enhanced brightness and efficiency when compared with the corresponding properties of OLEDs based on the popular poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS)buffer layer.Furthermore,because of the high thermal and chemical stabilities of these Zn Pcs,a nonaqueous film fabrication process was realized together with improved charge balance in the OLEDs and enhanced OLED lifetimes.

Annealing-free alcohol-processable MoO_(X) anode interlayer enables efficient light utilization in organic photovoltaics

Molybdenum oxide(MoO_(x))is a commonly used hole extraction material in organic photovoltaics.The MoO_(x) interlayer is deposited typically via thermal evaporation in vacuum.To meet the need for rollto-roll manufacturing,solution processing of MoO_(x) without post-annealing treatment is essential.Herein,we demonstrate an effective approach to produce annealing-free,alcohol-processable MoO_(x) anode interlayers,namely S-MoO_(x),by utilizing the bis(catecholato)diboron(B_(2) Cat_(2))molecule to modify the surface oxygen sites in MoO_(x).The formation of surface diboron-oxygen complex enables the alcohol solubility of S-MoO_(x).An enhanced light utilization is realized in the S-MoO_(x)-based organic photovoltaics.This affords a superior short-circuit current density(Jsc)close to 26 mA cm^(-2) and ultimately a high power-conversion efficiency(PCE)of 15.2%in the representative PM6:Y6 based inverted OPVs,which is one of the highest values in the inverted OPVs using an as-cast S-MoO_(x) anode interlayer.

Forming a monolayer of mixed nickel and gold nanoparticles through self-assembly via simple solution processing constitutes an important step toward inexpensive nanoparticle-based carbon nanofiber growth.In this work,mixed gold and nickel nanoparticles were anchored on the silicon wafer using self-assembled monolayers(SAMs)as a template.SAMs of 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane(MPTS-SAMs)were formed on silicon wafer,with the exposed thiol functionality providing ligand exchange sites to form the mixed monolayer of nickel and gold nanoparticles via a two-step sequential soaking approach.The densities of the nickel and gold nanoparticles on the surface can be varied by adjusting the soaking sequence.

Solution sequential deposited organic photovoltaics:From morphology control to large-area modules

Organic optoelectronic materials enable cutting-edge,low-cost organic photodiodes,including organic solar cells(OSCs)for energy conversion and organic photodetectors(OPDs)for image sensors.The bulk heterojunction(BHJ)structure,derived by blending donor and acceptor materials in a single solution,has dominated in the construction of active layer,but its morphological evolution during film formation poses a great challenge for obtaining an ideal nanoscale morphology to maximize exciton dissociation and minimize nongeminate recom-bination.Solution sequential deposition(SSD)can deliver favorable p–i–n vertical component distribution with abundant donor/acceptor interfaces and relatively neat donor and acceptor phases near electrodes,making it highly promising for excellent device performance and long-term stability.Focusing on the p–i–n structure,this review provides a systematic retrospect on regulating this morphology in SSD by summarizing solvent selection and additive strategies.These methods have been successfully implemented to achieve well-defined morphology in ternary OSCs,all-polymer solar cells,and OPDs.To provide a practical perspective,comparative studies of device stability with BHJ and SSD film are also discussed,and we review influential progress in blade-coating techniques and large-area modules to shed light on industrial production.Finally,challenging issues are out-lined for further research toward eventual commercialization.

Solute Redistribution in Directional Melting Process

The solute redistribution in directional melting process is theoretically studied. Based on quantitative evaluations, uniform.solute distribution in liquid and a quasi-steady solute distribution in solid are supposed. The discussion on the solute balance comes to a simple model for the solute redistribution in directional melting process. As an example, the variation of liquid composition during melting process of carbon steel is quantitatively evaluated using the model. Results show that the melting of an alloy starts at solidus temperature, but approaches the liquidus temperature after a very short transient process.
