Based on the definitions, the radiative entransy flux balance equation and the radiative entransy dissipation functions are introduced under spectral and total wavelength condition. Furthermore, the minimum principle of radiative entransy loss, the extreme principle of radiative entransy dissipation and the minimum principle of radiative thermal resistance are developed. The minimum prirlciple of radiative en- transy loss shows that the potential and the net radiative heat flux distribution which meet the control equations and the boundary conditions would make the radiative entransy loss minimum if the net radiative heat flux or the potential distribution of the radiative heat transfer system is given. The extreme principle of radiative entransy dissipation indicates that the minimum radiative entransy dissipation leads to the minimum average potential difference for the prescribed total radiative heat exchange and the maximum radiative entransy dissipation leads to the maximum radiative heat exchange for the prescribed average potential difference. Moreover, the minimum principle of radiative thermal resistance tells us that the aforementioned extreme values of radiative entransy dissipation both correspond to the minimum value of radiative thermal resistance. Application examples are given for the extreme principle of spectral radiative entransy dissipation and the minimum principle of spectral radiative thermal resistance, and the principles are proved to be applicable.展开更多

In particular, the interfaces between the perovskite and charge transport layers account for the vast majority of the recombination losses.Interfacial contact and band alignment between the lowtemperature-processed TiO_(2) electron transport layer(ETL)and the perovskite are essential to minimize nonradiative recombination losses. In this study, a CeOx interlayer is employed to modify the perovskite/TiO_(2) interface, and the charge transport properties of the devices are investigated. The bilayer-structured TiO_(2)/CeOx ETL leads to the modification of the interface energetics, resulting in improved electron extraction and reduced nonradiative recombination in the PSCs.Devices based on TiO_(2)/CeOx ETL exhibit a high open-circuit voltage(Voc) of 1.13 V and an enhanced PCE of more than 20%as compared with Vocof 1.08 V and a PCE of approximately 18% for TiO^(2-)based devices. Moreover, PSCs based on TiO_(2)/CeOx ETL maintain over 88% of their initial PCEs after light illumination for 300 min, whereas PSCs based on TiO_(2) ETL almost failed. This study provides an efficient strategy to enhance the PCE and stability of PSCs based on a lowtemperature-processed TiO_(2) ETL.展开更多
