The effect of light intensity on OTCS measurement is mainly discussed. There are electron trap of E_T =0.34 eV and hole trap of E_T = 1.13 eV in InP: Fe under the strong light and low temperature. The location of the OTCS peak of electron trap (E_T = 0.34 eV) moves towards the direction of high temperaturer, when the light intensity was increased, E_T is different under different light intensity. It is corrected in terms of theory that the stuff ratio of the deep energy level is affected by the light intensity. The experiments show that the error is decreased greatly with the correction.展开更多

The molar ratios of Ti/P123, and the pH values of the reaction solution in an autoclave were investigated. Various techniques such as Brunauer-Emmett-Teller （BET）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, laser Raman spectrometry （LRS）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM） were used to characterize the products. Then, these materials were assembled into dye-sensitized solar cells （DSSCs）. Analysis of the J-V curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） were applied to characterize the cells. The results indicated that the specific surface area and crystalline structure of these materials provide the possibility of high photocurrent for the cells, and that the structural characteristics of the specimens led to increased electron transfer resistance of the cells, which was beneficial for the improvement of the photovoltage of the DSSCs. The highest photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cells involving MT materials reached 8.33%, which, compared with that of P25- based solar cell （5.88%）, increased by 41.7%.展开更多

Many characterization methods have been employed for further understanding the operational details of the photo- electric conversion in DSSC as well as the evaluation of cell performance. Electrochemical methods have become pow- erful tools for studying the charge transfer and interfacial process. In this review, we introduce and explain the various electrochemical methods used to characterize and analyze DSSC, including current-voltage （I-V） scan measurement, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spec- troscopy, intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy, and intensity-modulated photovoltage spectroscopy. In ad- dition, some applications were provided as samples to elucidate electron transfer kinetics, energy levels and electrocatalytic activity of the materials used in DSSC.展开更多

The photocurrent and photo- luminescence spectra show good agreement with a dominant peak at 1.85 eV. The magnitude of the photoluminescence can be increased 300% by ionic liquid gating due to the passivation of surface states and trapped charges that act as recombination centers. The photocurrent also doubles when passivated by the ionic liquid. Interestingly, a significant shift of the PL peak position is observed under electrostatic （14 meV） and ionic liquid （30 meV） gating, as a result of passivation. The ionic liquid provides significant screening without any externally applied voltage, indicating that these surface recombination centers have net charge. The acute sensitivity of monolayer MoS2 to ionic liquid gating and passivation arises because of its high surface-to-volume ratio, which makes it especially sensitive to trapped charge and surface states. These results reveal that, in order for efficient optoelectronic devices to be made from monolayer MoS2, some passivation strategy must be employed to mitigate the issues associated with surface recombination.展开更多
