Study of Reducing Non-Ideal Effects Based on TiN Sensitive Electrode with Front-End Offset Circuit

The structure of the extended gate ion sensitive field effect transistor (EGISFET) is similar to the structure of the ion sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET).Moreover,the non-ideal effect of EGISFET is the main impediment to development of commercial processes for sensitive devices.It is necessary to promote the stability and reliability of the devices by employing calibration circuits and the better fabrication conditions.The temporal drift exists in the entire measurement experiment. Furthermore,in this study we can reduce the temporal drift effect which influences the stability of the TiN sensitive electrode with the differential front-end offset circuit.The measurement system combines with shifting circuit,differential and instrument amplifiers.We employ the calibration circuit to compare with the variations of the output voltage,and expectably improve the stability and reliability of the TiN sensitive electrode by the novel calibration circuit.

Improving photoelectrochemical activity of dye sensitized solar cell by a bilayered electrode with an overlayer of mesoporous anatase TiO_2

For better performance of dye sensitized solar cells （DSSCs）, a bilayer structured electrode was constructed by employing a mesoporous anatase TiO2 overlayer above a commercial P25 TiO2 nanoparticles underlayer. The mesoporous anatase TiO2, prepared through a facile surfactant-assisted sol-gel process, possessed large pore size and well inter-connected network structure, both beneficial for dye adsorption and electron transfer. The dye adsorption capability of the mesoporous TiO2 was nearly twice that of the P25 counterpart. In the electrode, the mesoporous TiO2 film enhanced both dye adsorption and lightharvest, to increase photocurrent （Jsc） from 12.32 to 14.78 mA/cm^2. Compared to the single P25 TiO2 film, the synergy of the mesoporous TiO2 and the P25 TiO2 nanoparticle films in the electrode resulted in a 24% improvement in light-to-electricity conversion efficiency （η）. This bilayered electrode provides an alternative approach for further developing a photovoltaic device with better cell performance.
