Consistent power supply is one of the real issues in the motivation behind the utilization of remote sensor network. Yet, in the power arrangement of remote Sensor Network, the battery has an extremely constrained lifetime and is not supplanted yet by some other persistent power framework. There are separate techniques proposed for shorter and more separate power transmission: Inductive coupling, resonant inductive coupling and air ionization for short separations;microwave and Laser transmission for longer separations. The pioneer of the field, Tesla endeavoured to make a capable, remote electric transmitter more than a century back that has now observed an exponential development. This paper overall lights up all the effective strategies proposed for transmitting power without wires. This study is important for find out the future ways of power transmission. These methods are so important in today’s world because of drastic wastage of power. Common wireless power transmission is a point-to-point control transmission. It was demonstrated that the power transmission effectiveness could approach near 100%.展开更多

In this work, we exploit the effective coupling of electric and toroidal modes in Al Ga As nanodimers to locally enhance both electric and magnetic fields while minimizing the optical scattering, thereby optimizing their second-harmonic generation efficiency with respect to the case of a single isolated nanodisk. We also demonstrate that proper near-field coupling can provide further degrees of freedom to control the polarization state and the radiation diagram of the second-harmonic field.展开更多

There are separate techniques proposed for shorter and more separate power transmission: Inductive coupling, resonant inductive coupling and air ionization for short separations;microwave and Laser transmission for longer separations. The pioneer of the field, Tesla endeavoured to make a capable, remote electric transmitter more than a century back that has now observed an exponential development. This paper overall lights up all the effective strategies proposed for transmitting power without wires. This study is important for find out the future ways of power transmission. These methods are so important in today’s world because of drastic wastage of power. Common wireless power transmission is a point-to-point control transmission. It was demonstrated that the power transmission effectiveness could approach near 100%.

文摘Considering the acoustic source scattering problems,when the sour-ce is non-radiating/invisible,we investigate the geometrical characterization for the underlying sources at polyhedral and conical corner.It is revealed that the non-radiating source with Holder continuous regularity must vanish at the corner.Using this kind of geometrical characterization of non-radiating sources,we establish local and global unique determination for a source with the polyhedral or corona shape support by a single far field measurement.Uniqueness by a single far field measurement constitutes of a long standing problem in inverse scattering problems.

文摘In recent years, with the emergence of non-fullerene fused-ring acceptors, power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of organic solar cells (OSCs) have exceeded 19%.However, compared to inorganic or perovskite photovoltaic cells, a higher voltage loss has become one of the key factors limiting further improvement in the PCEs of OSCs.The ternary/quaternary strategy has been identified as a feasible and effective way to obtain high-efficiency OSCs.In this review, a brief outline is given of the key roles that guest materials played in reducing voltage losses in solar cell devices and a brief look at the future material design and the design of ternary/quaternary systems.

文摘Dielectric nanocavities are emerging as a versatile and powerful tool for the linear and nonlinear manipulation of light at the nanoscale. In this work, we exploit the effective coupling of electric and toroidal modes in Al Ga As nanodimers to locally enhance both electric and magnetic fields while minimizing the optical scattering, thereby optimizing their second-harmonic generation efficiency with respect to the case of a single isolated nanodisk. We also demonstrate that proper near-field coupling can provide further degrees of freedom to control the polarization state and the radiation diagram of the second-harmonic field.

文摘Interfacial regulation,serving multiple roles,is critical for the fabrication of stable and efficient organic photovoltaics(OPVs).Herein,a multifunctional cathode interlayer PDINO(15 nm)is prepared by regulating film thickness,which is inserted between active components and stable silver electrode to align work function,and maintain good interfacial contact and device stability.The thick film can help to reduce interfacial surface defects,keep stable surface morphology,and block the silver diffusion into the active layer.Consequently,the optimal PM6:Y6 device records an impressive power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 17.48%with minimized non-radiative recombination loss of 0.239 V.More importantly,the unencapsulated device maintains 91%of the original PCE after aging for over 60 days at 25℃ and 10%relative humidity in dark conditions.Meanwhile,the PM6:eC9 device achieves a remarkable PCE of 18.22%with the enhancement of open-circuit voltage(V_(oc)).Furthermore,the 1 cm^(2) device-based PDINO(15 nm)/Ag shows a high PCE of 15.2%while only 12.6%for PDINO(9 nm)/Al,indicating the good compatibility of PDINO(15 nm)interlayer with the R2R coating processes used in large-area OPVs fabrication.This work highlights the promise of interfacial regulation to simultaneously stabilize and enhance the efficiency of organic photovoltaics.

文摘Lead chalcogenide colloidal quantum dots(CQDs)are regarded as attractive absorption materials for novel solar cells(SCs).The cost of lead chalcogenide CQD has been decreased to a commercialization target of$5/g due to the direct production of CQD inks.However,the photoelectric conversion efficiency(PCE)of lead chalcogenide CQDSCs is presently close to 14%,well below the commercialization target(20%),which is only 41%of the theoretical Shockley-Queisser limit efficiency.In this study,the different losses of open-circuit voltage(V_(oc)),fill factor(FF),and short circuit current density(J_(sc))for current CQDSCs are systematically discussed,as well as the percentage and likely causes of each loss.Then the primary reasons for the CQDSCs’performance constraints are highlighted.Following that,we focus on the CQDSCs interfaces(i.e.,CQD/CQD,CQD/HTL,and ETL/CQD)and explore viable ways to reduce device performance loss.Finally,based on the discussion above,we propose many enhancements to significantly solve numerous major obstacles impeding device performance to boost the PCE of CQDSCs for future commercialization significantly.

文摘In this work,cubic-phased CeO_(2):18 mol%Yb^(3+)/2 moI%Er^(3+)nanospheres were prepared by coprecipitation method,in which the size of nanosphere was precisely controlled by regulating the amount of coprecipitator urea.The morphology evolution of CeO_(2):18%Yb3+/2%Er^(3+)samples that vary from nanosphere to nano-flower with extending the reaction time was elaborately investigated via increasing the amount of urea and increasing the reaction temperature.The influence of non-radiative relaxation(NR)processes and surface quenching on up-conversion emission output of CeO_(2):18%Yb^(3+)/2%Er^(3+)was investigated through varying the sizes and environmental temperatures.Tissue imaging experiment demonstrates that CeO_(2):18%Yb^(3+)/2%Er^(3+)nanospheres have the potential to act as luminescent imaging reagents in tissue imaging.

文摘Functional additives have recently been regarded as emerging candidates to improve the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).Herein,nicotinamide(N),2-chloronicotinamide(2Cl),and 6-chloronicotinamide(6Cl)were employed as O-ligands to facilitate the deposition of MAPbI_(3)(MA=methylammonium)and MA-free FA_(0.88)Cs_(0.12)PbI_(2.64)Br_(0.36)(FA=formamidinium)perovskite films by multifunctional anchoring.By density functional theory(DFT)calculations and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy(UPS)measurements,it is identified that the highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO)level for additive modified MAPbI_(3)perovskite could reduce the voltage deficit for hole extraction.Moreover,due to the most favorable charge distribution and significant improvements in charge mobility and defect passivation,the power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 2Cl-MAPbI_(3)PSCs was significantly improved from 19.32%to 21.12%.More importantly,the two-dimensional grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering(GIWAXS)analysis showed that PbI_(2) defects were effectively suppressed and femtosecond transient absorption(TA)spectroscopy demonstrated that the trap-assisted recombination at grain boundaries was effectively inhibited in the 2Cl-MA-free film.As a result,the thermally stable 2Cl-MA-free PSCs achieved a remarkable PCE of 23.13%with an open-circuit voltage(V_(oc))of 1.164 V and an ultrahigh fill factor(FF)of 85.7%.Our work offers a practical strategy for further commercializing stable and efficient PSCs.
