文摘Antimony sulfide(Sb_(2)S_(3))solar cells fabricated via hydrothermal deposition have attracted widespread attention.The annealing crystallization process plays a crucial role in achieving optimal crystallinity in hydrothermal Sb_(2)S_(3)thin films.Nevertheless,incomplete crystallization and the loss of sulfur at high-temperature contribute to defect recombination,constraining device performance.Herein,a twostep rapid thermal processing(RTP)annealing strategy is proposed to improve the crystal quality and efficiency of Sb_(2)S_(3)solar cells.The annealing process in Ar protection with atmospheric pressure can suppress S loss caused by saturated vapor pressure.The two-step RTP annealing with the 330℃ low-temperature and 370℃ high-temperature process ensures high crystallinity and vertical orientations of Sb_(2)S_(3)thin films,accompanied by a reduction in defect concentration from 1.01×10^(12)to 5.97×10^(11)cm^(-3).The Sb_(2)S_(3)solar cell achieves an efficiency of 8.20%with an enhanced open circuit voltage(VOC)of 784 mV.The build-in voltage(Vbi)of 1.17 V and irradiation-dependent ideal factor(n)of 1.48 demonstrate enhanced heterojunction quality and suppressed defect recombination in the devices.The presented two-step annealing strategy and physical mechanism study will open new prospects for high-performance Sb_(2)S_(3)solar cells.

文摘The utilization of piezo-photocatalytic technol ogy for environmental remediation under full spectrum solar light is promising but still challenging.Herein,one dimensional Bi_(2)S_(3)nanowires,which can utilize both mechanical energy and near-infrared(NIR)light to remov hexavalent chromium(Cr(Ⅵ))efficiently,were synthe sized by a restrained growth method.The reaction rat constants of Cr(Ⅵ)reduction in piezo-photocatalyti process under NIR(800–2500 nm)reached 0.334 min^(-1)which were 3.2 and 12.4 times as that of single piezo and photocatalytic process.The formation of polarized electri fields and one-dimensional structure allow ultrafast sepa ration of charge carriers,thereby promoting the catalyti activity.Furthermore,due to the strong penetrability o NIR light,the piezo-photocatalysis performance in turbid solutions under NIR light(0.188 min^(-1))was even com parable to that under visible light(0.186 min^(-1)).Thi study provides a new concept on the development of piezo photocatalytic technology for environmental remediation by utilization of NIR light and natural mechanical energy.

文摘Precise design and synthesis of sub-nano scale catalysts with controllable electronic and geometric structures are pivotal for enhancing the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)performance of molybdenum sulfide(MoS_(2))and unraveling its structure−activity relationship.By leveraging transition molybdenum polysulfide clusters as functional units for multi-level ordering,we successfully designed and synthesized MoS_(x)nanowire networks derived from[Mo_(3)S_(13)]^(2−) clusters via evaporationinduced self-assembly,which exhibit enhanced HER activity attributed to a high density of active sites and dynamic evolution behavior under cathodic potentials.MoS_(x) nanowire networks electrode yields a current density of 100 mA·cm^(−2) at 142 mV in 0.5 M H_(2)SO_(4).This work provides an attractive prospect for optimizing catalysts at the sub-nano scale and offers insights into a strategy for designing catalysts in various gas evolution reactions.

文摘The rapid development of portable,foldable,and wearable electronic devices requires flexible energy storage systems.Sodiumion capacitors(SICs)combining the high energy of batteries and the high power of supercapacitors are promising solutions.However,the lack of flexible and durable electrode materials that allow fast and reversible Na+storage hinders the development of flexible SICs.Herein,we report a high-capacity,free-standing and flexible Sb2S3/Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx composite film for fast and stable sodium storage.In this hybrid nano-architecture,the Sb_(2)S_(3)nanowires uniformly anchored between Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx nanosheets not only act as sodium storage reservoirs but also pillar the two-dimensional(2D)Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx to form three-dimensional(3D)channels benefiting for electrolyte penetration.Meanwhile,the highly conductive Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx nanosheets provide rapid electron transport pathways,confine the volume expansion of Sb_(2)S_(3)during sodiation,and restrain the dissolution of discharged sodium polysulfides through physical constraint and chemical absorption.Owing to the synergistic effects of the one-dimensional(1D)Sb_(2)S_(3)nanowires and 2D MXenes,the resultant composite anodes exhibit outstanding rate performance(553 mAh·g−1 at 2 A·g−1)and cycle stability in sodium-ion batteries.Moreover,the flexible SICs using Sb2S3/Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx anodes and active carbon/reduced graphene oxide(AC/rGO)paper cathodes deliver a superior energy and power density in comparison with previously reported devices,as well as an excellent cycling performance with a high capacity retention of 82.78%after 5,000 cycles.This work sheds light on the design of next-generation low-cost,flexible and fast-charging energy storage devices.

文摘Poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT),as a traditional organic hole-transporting material(HTM),is widely used in thin-film solar cells due to its high charge mobility and good thermal stability.However,the P3HT films obtained by the traditional method are amorphous,which is unfavorable to hole extraction and transport.Here,a low-toxicity solvent 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene(TMB)was used as the solvent instead of the commonly used halogen solvent chlorobenzene(CB)to dissolve P3HT.Thus,the self-assembled nanofibrous P3HT film was prepared and applied as HTM in the newly emerged Sb_(2)S_(3)solar cells.According to the density functional theory calculations,the interface contact between TMB-P3HT and Sb_(2)S_(3)was enhanced via the bonding interaction of S in P3HT and Sb in Sb_(2)S_(3).Through transient absorption spectroscopy characterization,the enhanced interface contact improves the charge extraction ability of TMB-P3HT when compared to the CB-P3HT film.Thus,the TMB-P3HT-based Sb_(2)S_(3)solar cell delivers a power conversion efficiency of 6.21%,which is 9.7%higher than that of the CB-P3HT-based device.Furthermore,the dopant-free TMB-P3HT-based Sb_(2)S_(3)devices exhibit excellent environmental stability compared with Spiro-OMeTAD-based devices.This work demonstrates that the application of P3HT and the solvent engineering of HTM are applicable strategies for developing Sb_(2)S_(3)solar cells with high efficiency and stability.
