Loading 2D layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) on p-type silicon photocathode is suitable for hydrogen production in solar-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Similarly, various nanostructured TMDs exposing more active sites are widely explored for improving the PEC performances of composite photoelectrodes. Here, defect engineering using a controllable argon ion beam bombardment is presented on ReS 2 /Si photocathode. The atomic vacancy defects are introduced on the 2D ReS 2 to realize high-density active sites, which significantly enhance the solar-driven hydrogen evolution reaction performance of ReS 2 /Si photocathode. The highest photocurrent density of 18.5 mA cm −2 (at 0 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode) is achieved, under a simulated sun irradiation.

A new method for synthesizing freestanding PbS-CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 (MAPI) core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) with enhanced light absorption and photoelectric properties was reported. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) analysis confirmed the core-shell structure of the obtained sample. The Vis-NIR spectra proved the core-shell sample absorbed light both in visible and near infrared region . For comparison, oleic acid/oleylamine molecule capping PbS NPs, MAPI molecule capping PbS NPs, and PbS-MAPI core-shell NPs were used to fabricate Schottky solar cells. PbS-MAPI core-shell NPs based solar cells delivered a photocurrent response from both the PbS and MAPI, and achieved the highest overall PCE.

Novel TiO 2 /ZnO core–sheath nanofibers (NFs) film was fabricated through an extraordinary coaxial electrospinning technique . Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were assembled using the TiO 2 /ZnO NFs film as photoanode . FESEM , TEM, FTIR , XRD , XPS and UV–vis were used to characterize the NFs electrode film. Photocurrent–voltage ( I – V ) characteristic, incident photo-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) spectrum, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were performed to evaluate the DSSCs performance. The results reveal that the DSSCs based on the TiO 2 /ZnO core–sheath NFs are superior to their bare TiO 2 NFs-based counterparts. Compared with the latter, the overall energy conversion efficiency was enhanced from 4.47 to 5.17%. And the possible mechanism for this enhancement was discussed.

Novel waterborne fluorinated polyurethane (WFPU) based on hydroxyl-terminated poly(fluoroalkyl methacrylates) (HTPFMA) was prepared successfully. The microstructures and micro-phase separation of WFPU were evaluated through infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). FT-IR revealed that the H-bonded carbonyl in hard domains increased with the increasing of fluorine content, resulting in enhancing the extent of micro-phase separation between hard and soft segments. XRD results indicated that the crystallinity of hard segment was enhanced with the increasing of fluorine content. The direct visual microstructures by SEM showed that the micro-phase separation was more significant when the fluorine content increased. DMA also revealed strengthened micro-phase separation with increasing fluorine content. The studies of mechanical properties confirmed that WFPU based on HTPFMA had outstanding mechanical properties. The effects of fluorine content on the static contact angles, surface free energy , and surface composition were also studied. The static contact angles of the WFPU films against water and methylene iodide reached around 108° and 84°, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed that the fluorine surface enrichment factor in the outermost 10 nm depth was about 10–18 fold higher than its bulk level.

Nanowires (NWs)-based heterojunction photodetectors (PDs) have been widely applied in the fields of remote sensing, night vision, environmental monitoring, and optical communications with high light absorption coefficient and photoelectric conversion efficiency. Here, S-GaAs NWs/Si heterojunction was developed to form a broadband self-powered PDs by growing GaAs NWs on Si substrate through the sulfur-catalyzed assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology. Compared with the pure GaAs NWs, the sulfur-assisted catalysts could not only inhibit Ostwald ripening of Au seeds to improve the crystalline quality of NWs but also form a thin Ga–S bond passivation layer to reduce surface defects and enhance the optoelectronic performance of the PDs. The fabricated GaAs NWs/Si heterojunction PDs exhibit excellent performances with the large responsivity of 10.3 mA W −1 and high detectivity of 9.59 × 10 12 cm Hz 1/2 W −1 . Additionally, the designed PDs have the broadband wavelength photoresponse from visible to near infrared and fast response speed (rise/fall time of 3.8/21.8 ms). Importantly, the develop strategy of hybrid heterojunction PDs can be extended to other semiconductor materials for facilitating the practical application of high-performance optoelectronic devices .

Interfacial modification as a feasible strategy to improve the properties of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been widely studied in recent years. In this work, PbCl 2 modification at the interface of SnO 2 /CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 was used for CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 -based planar PSCs. The introduction of PbCl 2 between SnO 2 and CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 layers boosted the crystallization of perovskite film, which promoted the photovoltaic properties of corresponding PSCs. The open circuit voltage ( V OC ) and fill factor (FF) of the PbCl 2 -modified devices (1 mg/mL) were 1.11 V and 0.79, respectively, which were both higher than those of the reference devices without PbCl 2 (1.04 V and 0.76). Moreover, a steady-state power output efficiency exceeding 19% was obtained for the PbCl 2 -modified devices (1 mg/mL), which implied that PbCl 2 modification was an effective and low cost strategy for efficient PSCs.

Blend films with long nanowires of zinc octaethylporphyrin (ZnOEP) embedded in an insulating polymer of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) have been successfully fabricated by a one-step spin-coating process. Concerning photoactive blends based on small-molecule semiconductors, this is quite a novel strategy and allows us to greatly reduce the issues related to low device performance, such as phase-separation, poor connectivity of the semiconducting layer, and higher densities of interfacial defects. Intensive studies on the correlation between the film morphology and device performance have revealed that excellent photodetector performance is derived from efficient charge transport and good connectivity observed in highly crystalline, interconnected ZnOEP nanowires embedded in an insulating PMMA matrix. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a blend-film-based organic photodetector, which exhibits high sensitivity, high stability, high Ion/Ioff ratio, excellent mechanical flexibility, and a broadband responsivity region extending up to 1050 nm. The unique characteristics of facile fabrication, high sensitivity, excellent mechanical stability, and broadband responsivity can make the blend film of ZnOEP and PMMA promising in large-area flexible photodetectors.

This study introduces a facile method for the controlled growth of addressable planar arrays of highly luminescent, catalyst-free 1,4-bis(5-phenyloxazol-2-yl)benzene (POPOP) nanowires. By employing a hollow mask over a faceted sapphire substrate, simultaneous control over the position and orientation of the nanowires is achieved through a mask-confined graphoepitaxial growth, offering substantial advantages over traditional post-growth assembly techniques. High-temperature annealing creates parallel nanogrooves on the sapphire surface, inducing a graphoepitaxial effect that aligns the nanowires with a consistent [102] crystallographic axis. The hollow mask further aids in precisely localizing nanowire growth through its shadowing effect. Optoelectronic investigations reveal that these nanowires emit intense and stable blue photoluminescence at room temperature, with a broad spectrum spanning from 400 to 600 nm. This luminescence is achieved through excitation by continuous-wave ultraviolet light or two-photon absorption using femtosecond infrared light. Notably, the emission quantum efficiency of POPOP nanowires reaches 59 %, a remarkable improvement over the 12 % observed in powder counterparts when excited with 405 nm light. Transit absorption spectra indicate that ground state bleaching and excited state absorption display consistent kinetics within a 100 ps time window, suggesting the same origin from singlet excitons. The precise alignment and positioning of these nanowires make them viable for in-situ integration into photodetectors with rapid ultraviolet light responses. This study advances the controlled growth of catalyst-free nanowire arrays and enhances the understanding of the optoelectronic properties of POPOP nanowires.

Earth abundant Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) has been considered as one of the most promising thin film solar cell absorber candidates. Here, we develop a facile water-based precursor solution approach for depositing high-efficiency Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 thin film solar cells. In this environmentally friendly approach, inexpensive elemental Cu, Zn, Sn and S powders are used as the starting materials and are dissolved in the aqueous solution of thioglycolic acid and methylamine, forming a homogeneous precursor solution for depositing Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 nanocrystal thin film . As-deposited CZTS nanocrystal thin films are selenized to form the large-grain CZTSSe absorber layers . It was found that Na doping plays an important role in the formation of the extremely dense and flat CZTSSe absorber layer, and fill factor can be significantly improved for Na-doped CZTSSe solar cells, which lead to a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 6.96% with an open-circuit voltage of 378 mV, a short current density of 28.17 mA cm −2 , and a fill factor of 65.4%.

Metal halide perovskites recently have emerged as a promising candidate for photodetection due to their exceptional photoelectric performance. However, the high dark current in these materials has hindered their practical application to imaging. In this study, a novel halogen-mixed CsPbIBr 2 microwire photodetector that has a remarkable reduction of dark current by over 100-fold (compared to CsPbBr 3 ), along with a substantial increase in photocurrent, which yields a significantly improved on/off ratio of 6.56 × 10 4 , is developed. More importantly, the halogen-mixed perovskite photodetector exhibits enhanced photodetection performance, including a high responsivity of 133 A W −1 and a remarkable specific detectivity of 4.02 × 10 12 Jones even under ultraweak light conditions as low as 4.5 nW cm −2 . More specifically, high-resolution images are successfully obtained under ultraweak light conditions. The combined analysis of experimental results and first-principles calculation attribute the excellent performance of the CsPbIBr₂ microwire photodetector to a significant reduction in dark current by suppressing ion migration and increasing carrier effective mass, and a remarkable increase in photocurrent resulting from reduced bandgap and enhanced light absorption, as compared to CsPbBr 3 . This research represents a significant advancement in the development of high-performance 1D perovskite-based photodetectors, with promising implications for ultra-weak light imaging applications.

Crystalline yttrium-doped rutile TiO 2 nanorod arrays were synthesized and successfully implemented as a photoanode of perovskite solar cells . Study shows that yttrium was successfully doped and TiO 2 band gap changes from 3.07 eV to 3.02 eV. A positive shift of 100 mV in the flat-band potential (V fb ) was observed in Y-doped rutile TiO 2 nanorods. A power conversion efficiency of 7.95% and a photocurrent density of 15.13 mA/cm 2 were obtained for the doped sample. The photocurrent density is 1.47 times higher than that of the un-doped device. Incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency shows Y-doped device has a clear increase in quantum efficiency in the visible light range from 450 and 750 nm. Open circuit voltage decay measurements demonstrate the superior ability of Y-doped TiO 2 nanorod for separating electrons and holes and decreasing the recombination events. The improved performance is possibly attributed to the enhanced electron injection and transfer efficiency caused by a positive shift in V fb and a reduction in charge recombination. This study opens a door toward the improvement of photocurrent density of perovskite solar cell via an element doping route.

In this study, a temperature self-regulating solar reactor based on VO 2 thermochromic coating is demonstrated. The temperature of solar reactor can be stabilized at 68.8 °C, which is corresponded to the critical point of metal-to-insulator transition of VO 2 . By employing the solar reactor, the orthorhombic phase CsPbI 3 microwires have been synthesized through solution phase reaction route. Strong emission peaks at 490 nm and 470 nm have been observed in CsPbI 3 microwires under ultraviolet and soft X-ray excitation, respectively. The high performance photodetector based on CsPbI 3 microwire show a detectivity of 1.09 × 10 14 Jones, responsivity of 4.72 A/W, rapid rise and decay time of 0.96 and 0.93 s at 325 nm. Our results demonstrate that the temperature self-regulating solar reactor can be applied for energy-saving solution phase reactor for synthesizing high quality inorganic materials.
