Enhancing The Efficiency of White Organic Light-emitting Diode Using Energy Recyclable Photovoltaic Cells

We demonstrate that power recycling is feasible by using a semi-transparent stripped Al electrode as interconnecting layer to merge a white organic light-emitting devices(WOLED) and an organic photovoltaic(OPV) cell.The device is called a PVOLED.It has a glass / ITO / CuPc / m-MTDATA ∶ V 2 O 5 / NPB / CBP ∶ FIrpic ∶ DCJTB / BPhen / LiF / Al / P3HT∶ PCBM / V 2 O 5 / Al structure.The power recycling efficiency of 10.133% is achieved under the WOLED of PVOLED operated at 9 V and at a brightness of 2 110 cd / m 2,when the conversion efficiency of OPV is 2.3%.We have found that the power recycling efficiency is decreased under high brightness and high applied voltage due to an increase input power of WOLED.High efficiency(18.3 cd / A) and high contrast ratio(9.3) were obtained at the device operated at 2 500 cd / m 2 under an ambient illumination of 24 000 lx.Reasonable white light emission with Commission Internationale De L'Eclairage(CIE) color coordinates of(0.32,0.44) at 20 mA / cm 2 and slight color shift occurred in spite of a high current density of 50 mA / cm 2.The proposed PVOLED is highly promising for use in outdoors display applications.

It is great strategic significant to increase the proportion of non-carbon energy gradually and build a new energy supply system with multiple complementary energy. According to the current situation of domestic energy development in recent years and the development trend of new energy in China, the author reviewed the development of photovoltaic cells technology.

Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) as (i) Type in the Photovoltaic Cell of Nano-Dimensions

In this paper, a new modified approach to design the photovoltaic cell has been presented by adding Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) as type (i). The main issue is to increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic cell, on the other hand, to exploit a larger range of electromagnetic wave frequencies, specifically a range within terahertz (THz) frequency domain, using 3D EM computer simulation technology (CST). It is clear in the normal PV cell start working at frequency of 500 THz, while the frequency at which the PV cell with SWCNTs operates is much less and it is close to zero, on the other hand, the PV cell with SWCNTs needs a larger cross-section area of 2800 nm2 to operate at frequency of 500 THz. This cell can be easily produced industrially, which means increases the efficiency of solar cell.

Effect of Self-Assembled Monolayers on the Performance of Organic Photovoltaic Cells

The improvement of the performance of organic photovoltaic cells (OPVCs) and the photogeneration process in these devices may occur via multiple mechanisms depending on their structure and/or architecture. For this purpose we investigate how self-assembled monolayers of thiol molecules (C12H25SH and 3T(CH2)6SH) and benzoic acid molecules (ABA and NBA) affect the efficiency and the photogeneration of free carriers in a sexithiophene based photovoltaic cells. Firstly, we provide the results of absorption spectra for samples with SAM of thiol that show there effect on orientation of 6T molecules on these structures and the organization degree of the thiol molecules on ITO substrate. Afterward, we describe from current vs. applied voltage after illumination, the enhancement of the performance of these cells. In the second, we study the effect of SAM of benzoic acids molecules on the photovoltaic behavior. A theoretical model is used for quantitative description of the open circuit voltage as a function of carrier’s generation rates at the electrodes. The results of I-V characterization under illumination show that open circuit voltage as well as short circuit current is dramatically affected by the dipolar layer. The orientation and the magnitude of dipole moment of benzoic acid molecules are the crucial factors that affect the organic photovoltaic parameters.

The Effect of Energy Levels of the Electron Acceptor Materials on Organic Photovoltaic Cells

Organic photovoltaic cells have been fabricated using copper phthalocyanine CuPc as electron donor and C60 or PCBM as electron acceptor. We have investigated the I-V measurements of two different structures: ITO/PEDOT: PSS/(CuPc:C60 or CuPc:PCBM)/BCP/Al. We have observed that the substitution of PCBM by C60 scales up the photocurrent and the efficiency of the devices. As for the open-circuit voltage and the fill factor, we have seen that Voc and FF depend on the energy difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of CuPc and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)of C60 or PCBM.

Manipulating Film Formation Kinetics Enables Organic Photovoltaic Cells with 19.5%Efficiency

Organic photovoltaic(OPV)cells have demonstrated remarkable performance in small,spin-coated areas.Nevertheless significant challenges persist in the form of large efficiency losses due to the fact that the ideal morphology cannot be preserved in the transition of small-area cells to large-scale panels.Herein,the ternary strategy of incorporating the third component FTCC-Br into the active layer of PB2:BTP-eC9 is employed to improve absorption response,optimize morphology,and reduce charge recombination,leading to a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 19.5%(certified as 19.1%by the National Institute of Metrology,China).Moreover,the addition of FTCC-Br can control the aggregation kinetics of the active layer during the film formation process,transferring the optimal morphology to the blade-coated large-area films.Based on the highly efficient ternary bulk heterojunction,the 50 cm^(2) OPVmodules exhibited a PCE of 15.2%with respect to the active area.Importantly,the ternary OPV cells retain 80%of its initial PCE after 4000 h under continuous illumination.Our work demonstrates that the addition of a third component has the potential to improve the efficiency and stability of large-area organic solar cells.

Optical engineering of infrared PbS CQD photovoltaic cells for wireless optical power transfer systems

Infrared photovoltaic cells(IRPCs)have attracted considerable attention for potential applications in wireless optical power transfer(WOPT)systems.As an efcient fber-integrated WOPT system typically uses a 1550 nm laser beam,it is essential to tune the peak conversion efciency of IRPCs to this wavelength.However,IRPCs based on lead sulfde(PbS)colloidal quantum dots(CQDs)with an excitonic peak of 1550 nm exhibit low short circuit current(Jsc)due to insufcient absorption under monochromatic light illumination.Here,we propose comprehensive optical engineering to optimize the device structure of IRPCs based on PbS CQDs,for 1550 nm WOPT systems.The absorption by the device is enhanced by improving the transmittance of tin-doped indium oxide(ITO)in the infrared region and by utilizing the optical resonance efect in the device.Therefore,the optimized device exhibited a high short circuit current density of 37.65 mA/cm^(2)under 1 sun(AM 1.5G)solar illumination and 11.91 mA/cm^(2)under 1550 nm illumination 17.3 mW/cm^(2).Furthermore,the champion device achieved a record high power conversion efciency(PCE)of 7.17%under 1 sun illumination and 10.29%under 1550 nm illumination.The PbS CQDs IRPCs under 1550 nm illumination can even light up a liquid crystal display(LCD),demonstrating application prospects in the future.

100 cm^(2) Organic Photovoltaic Cells with 23%Efficiency under Indoor Illumination

The application of organic photovoltaic(OPV)cells to drive off-grid microelectronic devices under indoor light has attracted broad attention.As organic semiconductors intrinsically have less ordered intermolecular packing than inorganic materials,the relatively larger energetic disorder is one of the main results that limit the photovoltaic efficiency of the OPV cells at low carrier density.Here,we optimize the alkyl chains of non-fullerene acceptors to get suppressed energetic disorder.We find the optimal acceptor DTz-R1 with the shortest alkyl chain has the strongest crystalline property and lowest energetic disorder.As a result,over 26%efficiency is recorded for the 1 cm^(2) OPV cells under a light-emitting diode illumination of 500 lux.We also fabricate a 100 cm^(2) cell device and get a PCE of 23.0%,which is an outstanding value for large-area OPV cells.These results suggest that modulation of the energetic disorder is of great importance for further improving the efficiency of OPV cells,especially for indoor applications.

Blue phosphorene/MoSi2N4 van der Waals type-Ⅱ heterostructure:Highly efficient bifunctional materials for photocatalytics and photovoltaics

Converting solar energy into electric power or hydrogen fuel is a promising means to obtain renewable green energy.Here, we design a two-dimensional blue phosphorene(BlueP)/MoSi2N4van der Waals heterostructure(vdWH) and investigate its potential application in photocatalysis and photovoltaics using first-principles calculations. We find that the BlueP/MoSi2N4vdWH possesses type-Ⅱ band structure with a large build-in electric field, thus endowing it with a potential ability to separate photogenerated electron–hole pairs. The calculated band-edge positions show that the heterostructure is a very promising water-splitting photocatalyst. Its solar-to-hydrogen efficiency(ηSTH) can reach up to 15.8%, which is quite promising for commercial applications. Furthermore, the BlueP/MoSi2N4vdWH shows remarkably light absorption capacity and distinguished maximum power conversion efficiency(ηPCE) up to 10.61%. Remarkably, its ηPCEcan be further enhanced by the external strain: the ηPCEof 21.20% can be obtained under a 4% tensile strain. Finally, we determine that adjusting the number of the BlueP sublayer is another effective method to modulate the band gaps and band alignments of the heterostructures. These theoretical findings indicate that BlueP/MoSi2N4vd WH is a promising candidate for photocatalyst and photovoltaic device.

Several studies on PV solar cells are found in the literature which use static models. Those models are mainly one-diode, two-diode or three-diode models. In the dynamic modelling, a variable parallel capacitance is incorporated. Unlike the previous studies which do not clearly establish a relationship between the capacitance and the voltage, in the present paper, the link between the capacitance and the voltage is investigated and established. In dynamic modelling investigated in this paper, the dynamic resistance is introduced in the modelling of the solar cell. It is introduced in the current-voltage characteristic. The value of the dynamic resistance is evaluated at the maximum power point and its effect on the maximum power is investigated.

The Spherical q-Linear Diophantine Fuzzy Multiple-Criteria Group Decision-Making Based on Differential Measure

Spherical q-linearDiophantine fuzzy sets(Sq-LDFSs)provedmore effective for handling uncertainty and vagueness in multi-criteria decision-making(MADM).It does not only cover the data in two variable parameters but is also beneficial for three parametric data.By Pythagorean fuzzy sets,the difference is calculated only between two parameters(membership and non-membership).According to human thoughts,fuzzy data can be found in three parameters(membership uncertainty,and non-membership).So,to make a compromise decision,comparing Sq-LDFSs is essential.Existing measures of different fuzzy sets do,however,can have several flaws that can lead to counterintuitive results.For instance,they treat any increase or decrease in the membership degree as the same as the non-membership degree because the uncertainty does not change,even though each parameter has a different implication.In the Sq-LDFSs comparison,this research develops the differentialmeasure(DFM).Themain goal of the DFM is to cover the unfair arguments that come from treating different types of FSs opposing criteria equally.Due to their relative positions in the attribute space and the similarity of their membership and non-membership degrees,two Sq-LDFSs formthis preference connectionwhen the uncertainty remains same in both sets.According to the degree of superiority or inferiority,two Sq-LDFSs are shown as identical,equivalent,superior,or inferior over one another.The suggested DFM’s fundamental characteristics are provided.Based on the newly developed DFM,a unique approach tomultiple criterion group decision-making is offered.Our suggestedmethod verifies the novel way of calculating the expert weights for Sq-LDFSS as in PFSs.Our proposed technique in three parameters is applied to evaluate solid-state drives and choose the optimum photovoltaic cell in two applications by taking uncertainty parameter zero.The method’s applicability and validity shown by the findings are contrasted with those obtained using various other existing approaches.To assess its stability and usefulness,a sensitivity analysis is done.

Regioisomeric Polymer Semiconductors Based on Cyano-Functionalized Dialkoxybithiophenes:Structure-Property Relationship and Photovoltaic Performance

Cyano substitution is vital to the molecular design of polymer semiconductors toward highly efficient organic solar cells.However,how regioselectivity impacts relevant optoelectronic properties in cyano-substituted bithiophene systems remain poorly understood.Three regioisomeric cyano-functionalized dialkoxybithiophenes BT_(HH),BT_(HT),and BT_(TT) with headto-head,head-to-tail,and tail-to-tail linkage,respectively,were synthesized and characterized in this work.The resulting polymer semiconductors(PBDTBTs)based on these building blocks were prepared accordingly.The regiochemistry and property relationships of PBDTBTs were investigated in detail.The BTHH moiety has a higher torsional barrier than the analogs BT_(HT) and BT_(TT),and the regiochemistry of dialkoxybithiophenes leads to fine modulation in the optoelectronic properties of these polymers,such as optical absorption,band gap,and energy levels of frontier molecular orbitals.Organic field-effect transistors based on PBDTBT_(HH) had higher hole mobility(4.4×10^(-3) cm^(2)/(V·s))than those(ca.10^(-4) cm^(2)/(V·s))of the other two polymer analogs.Significantly different short-circuit current densities and fill factors were obtained in polymer solar cells using PBDTBTs as the electron donors.Such difference was probed in greater detail by performing space-charge-limited current mobility,thin-film morphology,and transient photocurrent/photovoltage characterizations.The findings highlight that the BTHH unit is a promising building block for the construction of polymer donors for highperformance organic photovoltaic cells.
