A Study on Photosynthetic Physiological Characteristics of Six Rare and Endangered Species

The parameters of gas exchange and chlorophyl fluorescence in leaves of six rare and endangered species Neolitsea sericea, Cinnamomum japonicum var. cheni , Sinojackia microcarpa, Discocleidion glabrum var. trichocarpum, Parrotia sub-aequalis, Cercidiphyl um japonicum were measured in fields. The results showed that there were significant differences in photosynthetic capacity, intrinsic water use effi-ciency （WUEi ）, the efficiency of primary conversion of light energy of PSⅡ and its potential activity, the quantum yield of PSⅡ electron transport, and the potential ca-pacity of heat dissipation among the six species. However, there was no significant difference in WUE. The highest values of net photosynthetic rate （Pn）, transpiration rate （Tr） and stomatal conductance （gs） occurred in D. glabrum var. trichocarpum and the lowest in S. microcarpa. On the contrary, D. glabrum var. trichocarpum had the lowest WUE, intrinsic water use efficiency （WUEi ） and S. microcarpa had the highest. The results indicated that D. glabrum var. trichocarpum had higher photo-synthetic capacity and poorer WUE, while S. microcarpa had lower photosynthetic capacity and greater WUE. Furthermore, the mean values of maximal fluorescence （Fm）, potential efficiency of primary conversion of light energy of PSⅡ （Fv/Fm）,ΦPSⅡ, actual efficiency of primary conversion of light energy of PSⅡ （F′v/F′m） and non-photochemical quenching coefficient （NPQ） were the highest in S. micro-carpa, indicating that its PSⅡ had higher capacity of heat dissipation and could prevent photosynthetic apparatus from damage by excessive light energy. Correlation analysis showed that there were significant correlations among photosynthetic physi-ological parameters. However, the initial fluorescence （Fo） was not significantly cor-related with any other parameters. This study also revealed the extremely significant positive correlations between Pn and Tr, gs, apparent quantum yield （AQY）, be-tween Tr and gs, between light saturation point （LSP） and AQY, between Fv/Fm and Fm, between ΦPSⅡ and photochemical quenching coefficient （qp）, between Tr, gs and LSP, AQY. However, WUEi was significantly negatively correlated with Tr, gs, Pn, LSP and AQY.

Semiconductor nanowires for photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical energy conversion

Semiconductor nanowires （NW） possess several beneficial properties for efficient conversion of solar energy into electricity and chemical energy. Due to their efficient absorption of light, short distances for minority carriers to travel, high surface-to-volume ratios, and the availability of scalable synthesis methods, they provide a pathway to address the low cost-to-power requirements for widescale adaptation of solar energy conversion technologies. Here we highlight recent progress in our group towards implementation of NW components as photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical energy conversion devices. An emphasis is placed on the unique properties of these one-dimensional （1D） structures, which enable the use of abundant, low-cost materials and improved energy conversion efficiency compared to bulk devices.

Elucidating the dynamics of solvent engineering for perovskite solar cells

Researchers working in the field of photovoltaic are exploring novel materials for the efficient solar energy conversion.The prime objective of the discovery of every novel photovoltaic material is to achieve more energy yield with easy fabrication process and less production cost features.Perovskite solar cells (PSCs)delivering the highest efficiency in the passing years with different stoichiometry and fabrication modification have made this technology a potent candidate for future energy conversion materials.Till now,many studies have shown that the quality of active layer morphology,to a great extent,determines the performance of PSCs.The current and potential techniques of solvent engineering for good active layer morphology are mainly debated using primary solvent,co-solvent (Lewis acid-base adduct approach)and solvent additives.In this review,the dynamics of numerously reported solvents on the morphological characteristics of PSCs active layer are discussed in detail.The intention is to get a clear understanding of solvent engineering induced modifications on active layer morphology in PSC devices via different crystallization routes.At last,an attempt is made to draw a framework based on different solvent coordination properties to make it easy for screening the potent solvent contender for desired PSCs precursor for a better and feasible device.

Improving UV stability of perovskite solar cells without sacrificing efficiency through light trapping regulated spectral modification

The stability of perovskite solar cells is an important issue to be addressed for future applications.Perovskite solar cells are vulnerable to exposure to UV light due to promoted chemical reactions.However, preventing UV light from entering solar cells lowers the power conversion efficiency by reducing the photocurrent. The challenge is to improve UV stability without sacrificing efficiency. Here, we demonstrate the reduction of UV light-related negative effects from the perspective of spectral modification. By simultaneously introducing UV–visible downshifting and light trapping, perovskite solar cells can achieve a comparable efficiency of over 21% to that of an unmodified device. The optimized device obtains increased UV stability due to UV–visible downshifting. Different from other strategies, spectral modification externally alters the composition of incident light and improves UV stability without changing the internal device architecture, which is broadly applicable to perovskite solar cells with different structures. The present work may also find applications in other types of solar cells to boost the stability of devices exposed to UV light.

Furan-based liquid-crystalline small-molecule donor guest improving the photovoltaic performance of organic solar cells with amorphous packing

Introducing liquid-crystalline small-molecule donors(SMDs)into binary systems based on the strong intermolecular interactions of SMDs is a facile and effective strategy to tune the active layer morphology and improve the performance of organic solar cells(OSCs).Contrary to conventional understanding,this research proposes a new strategy for ternary OSCs implicating that"weakly crystalline materials can also optimize the morphology of the active layer and improve the OSCs performance".Herein,we designed and synthesized two liquid-crystalline SMDs,Z1 and Z2,based on benzodifuran(BDF)units.The amorphous Z2-incorporated ternary devices present an unexpectedly improved power conversion efficiency(PCE)>18%with good stability.By contrast,the highly ordered Z1-based ternary devices possess a significantly depressed efficiency.Multiple characterizations reveal that the Z2-based ternary blend films possess improved miscibility and efficient charge transport.This novel strategy for the selection of the third component is significant for the fabrication of high-efficiency ternary OSCs.

Coordination engineering of Cu-Zn-Sn-S aqueous precursor for efficient kesterite solar cells

Aqueous precursors provide an alluring approach for low-cost and environmentally friendly production of earth-abundant Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4(CZTSSe)solar cells.The key is to find an appropriate molecular agent to prepare a stable solution and optimize the coordination structure to facilitate the subsequent crystallization process.Herein,we introduce thioglycolic acid(TGA),which possesses strong coordination(SH)and hydrophilic(COOH)groups,as the agent and use deprotonation to regulate the coordination competition within the aqueous solution.Ultimately,metal cations are adequately coordinated with thiolate anions,and carboxylate anions are released to become hydrated to form an ultrastable aqueous solution.These factors have contributed to achieving CZTSSe solar cells with an efficiency as high as 12.3%(a certified efficiency of 12.0%)and providing an extremely wide time window for precursor storage and usage.This work represents significant progress in the non-toxic solution fabrication of CZTSSe solar cells and holds great potential for the development of CZTSSe and other metal sulfide solar cells.

CsPbBrI perovskites with low energy loss for high-performance indoor and outdoor photovoltaics

Over the years,the efficiency of inorganic perovskite solar cells(PSCs)has increased at an unprecedented pace.However,energy loss in the device has limited a further increase in efficiency and commercialization.In this work,we used(NH4)2C2O4·H2O to treat CsPbBrI2 perovskite film during spin-coating.The CsPbBrI2 underwent secondary crystallization to form high quality films with micrometer-scale and low trap density.(NH4)2C2O4·H2O treatment promoted charge transfer capacity and reduced the ideal factor.It also dropped the energy loss from 0.80 to 0.64 eV.The resulting device delivered a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 16.55%with an open-circuit voltage(Voc)of 1.24 V,which are largely improved compared with the reference device which exhibited a PCE of 13.27%and a Voc of 1.10 V.In addition,the optimized treated device presented a record indoor PCE of 28.48%under a fluorescent lamp of 1000 lux,better than that of the reference device(19.05%).

Ultra-small interlayer spacing and nano channels in anionic layered perovskite CsPb(SCN)I enable efficient photoelectric conversion

Due to distinctive lattice and electronic properties,the thiocyanate anion(SCN-)perovskite as an alluring two-dimensional(2D)material system,can be applied in optoelectronic devices.Herein,both photovoltaic and photodetection performances of the 2D Cs2Pb(SCN)2I2 have been investigated.Compared with the conventional cationic 2D perovskites,Cs2Pb(SCN)2I2 possesses ultra-small interlayer spacing,additional interlayer nano channels,which is thus beneficial for charge transport ability.The planar heterojunction solar cell based on Cs2Pb(SCN)2I2 as the light absorber,has presented the highest power conversion efficiency among long-chain-cation-based 2D perovskite devices.Besides,the Cs2Pb(SCN)2I2-based photodetector also exhibits much higher photodetection performance(i.e.quantum efficiency,on/off ratio,responsivity,detectivity,response speed,polarization sensitivity and detection stability).It is thus suggested that these outstanding photoelectric characteristics of Cs2Pb(SCN)2I2 could bring huge opportunities for its more abundant optoelectronic applications,such as field-effect transistor and light-emitting diodes.

Interfacial stabilization for inverted perovskite solar cells with long-term stability

Perovskite solar cells(PSCs)commonly exhibit significant performance degradation due to ion migration through the top charge transport layer and ultimately metal electrode corrosion.Here,we demonstrate an interfacial management strategy using a boron chloride subphthalocyanine(Cl_(6)SubPc)/fullerene electron-transport layer,which not only passivates the interfacial defects in the perovskite,but also suppresses halide diffusion as evidenced by multiple techniques,including visual element mapping by electron energy loss spectroscopy.As a result,we obtain inverted PSCs with an efficiency of 22.0%(21.3%certified),shelf life of 7000 h,T_(80) of 816 h under damp heat stress(compared to less than 20 h without Cl_(6)SubPc),and initial performance retention of 98%after 2000 h at 80℃in inert environment,90%after 2034 h of illumination and maximum power point tracking in ambient for encapsulated devices and 95%after 1272 h outdoor testing ISOS-O-1.Our strategy and results pave a new way to move PSCs forward to their potential commercialization solidly.

A Model for Extreme Ultraviolet Radiation Conversion Efficiency From Laser Produced Mass-Limited Tin-Based Droplet Target Plasmas

Simple arguments are used to construct a model to explain the extreme ultraviolet radiation conversion efficiency(EUV-CE) of a tin-based droplet target laser produced plasmas by calculating the laser absorption efficiency,radiation efficiency,and spectral efficiency.The dependence of drive laser pulse duration and laser intensity on EUV-CE is investigated.The results show that at some appropriate laser intensity,where the sum energy of the thermal conduction,out-off band radiation and plasma plume kinetic losses is at a minimum,the EUV-CE should reach a maximum.The EUV-CE predicted by the present simple model is also compared with the available experimental and simulation data and a fair agreement between them is found.
