Compared with previous studies, this doping treatment provides substantially improved electrochemical performance in terms of initial coulombic efficiency and cycle performance.

The major cause for the huge computing resource requirement is identified as the need to solve the cathode O2 transport and the associated electrochemistry. To overcome the technical obstacle, an analytical model for solving the O2 transport and its coupling with the electrochemistry is derived. The analytical model is used to greatly reduce the numerical mesh complexity of a multiphysics model. Numerical test shows that the analytical approximation is highly accurate and stable. A multiphysics numerical modeling tool taking advantage of the analytical solution is then developed through Fluent@. The numerical efficiency and stability of this modeling tool are further demonstrated by simulating a 30- cell stack with a production scale cell size. Detailed information about the stack performance is revealed and briefly discussed. The multiphysics modeling tool can be used to guide the stack design and select the operating parameters.展开更多

In the previously designed high-power UWB sources only one bipolar pulse former and different feeder systems for pulse distribution through the array elements were used. By means of this approach, a number of UWB sources were created with the bipolar voltage pulse length ranging from 0.2 to 2 ns and effective potential of radiation ranging from 0.4 to 3 MV. The approach has got a restriction related to the electrical breakdown in a bipolar voltage pulse former. A new approach to the creation of high-power UWB sources based on a multicharmel bipolar pulse former is suggested: the number of bipolar pulse formers is equal to the number of antennas in the array. The main problem in realization of this approach is a stable operation of bipolar pulse formers in order to ensure a coherent summation of radiated pulses in the far-field zone. The result of this work is the instability of-150 ps at the pulse length of 3 ns obtained in a one-channel bipolar pulse former indicating that the suggested approach is realizable.展开更多

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.展开更多

In general, it is prepared by a halogen solvent(chlorobenzene, CBZ) and needs an ion dopant(lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, Li-TFSI) to improve its conductivity and hole mobility. However, such a halogen solvent is not environmentally friendly and the widely used LiTFSI dopant would affect the stability of PSCs. Herein, we develop a non-halogen solvent-tetrahydrofuran(THF)-prepared spiro-OMeTAD solution with a new p-type dopant,potassium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide(K-FSI), to apply into PSCs. By this strategy, high-hole-mobility spiro-OMeTAD film is achieved. Meanwhile, the potassium ions introduced by diffusion into perovskite surface passivate the interfacial defects. Therefore, a hysteresis-free champion PSC with an efficiency of 21.02% is obtained, along with significantly improved stability against illumination and ambient conditions. This work provides a new strategy for HTMs toward hysteresis-free high-efficiency and stable PSCs by substituting dopants.展开更多

文摘2,2’,7,7’-tetrakis-(N,N-di-4-methoxyphenylamino)-9,9’-spirobifluorene(spiro-OMeTAD), as the most commonly used hole transport material(HTM), plays a significant role in the normal structured(n-i-p) high-efficiency perovskite solar cells(PSCs). In general, it is prepared by a halogen solvent(chlorobenzene, CBZ) and needs an ion dopant(lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, Li-TFSI) to improve its conductivity and hole mobility. However, such a halogen solvent is not environmentally friendly and the widely used LiTFSI dopant would affect the stability of PSCs. Herein, we develop a non-halogen solvent-tetrahydrofuran(THF)-prepared spiro-OMeTAD solution with a new p-type dopant,potassium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide(K-FSI), to apply into PSCs. By this strategy, high-hole-mobility spiro-OMeTAD film is achieved. Meanwhile, the potassium ions introduced by diffusion into perovskite surface passivate the interfacial defects. Therefore, a hysteresis-free champion PSC with an efficiency of 21.02% is obtained, along with significantly improved stability against illumination and ambient conditions. This work provides a new strategy for HTMs toward hysteresis-free high-efficiency and stable PSCs by substituting dopants.
