In-depth analysis of chloride treatments for thin-film CdTe solar cells
Nature Communications, Published online: 24 October 2016; doi:10.1038/ncomms13231
High performance CdTe thin film solar cells typically require a chloride activation treatment. Here, Major et al. show that the main effect of the most effective chloride-based treatments is chloride accumulation at grain boundaries and that it results in improved open circuit voltages.

PbSe QDs show high multiple exciton generation (MEG) quantum yield. Here we have investigated the role of the [capital Sigma] transition in slowing down the hot exciton cooling, which can help MEG to take over phonon relaxation.

Using o-Chlorobenzaldehyde as a Fast Removable Solvent Additive during Spin-Coating PTB7-Based Active Layers: High Efficiency Thick-Film Polymer Solar Cells
by Jinxiang Chen, Lianjie Zhang, Xiaofang Jiang, Ke Gao, Feng Liu, Xiangjun Gong, Junwu Chen, Yong Cao
o-Chlorobenzaldehyde (CBA) is a derivative of chlorobenzene (CB). The boiling point of CBA is 212 °C, much lower than 332 °C for 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO). With CBA as solvent additive in CB host solvent, CBA could be fast removed during spin-coating 100, 200, and 300 nm thick thieno[3,4-b]thiophene/benzodithiophene polymer (PTB7):[6,6]-phenyl C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM) active layers, achieving power conversion efficiencies of 9.11%, 8.24%, and 7.11%, respectively, much higher than 7.53%, 5.71%, and 4.93% for corresponding DIO control devices with vacuum drying.

by Tack Ho Lee, Mohammad Afsar Uddin, Chengmei Zhong, Seo-Jin Ko, Bright Walker, Taehyo Kim, Yung Jin Yoon, Song Yi Park, Alan J. Heeger, Han Young Woo, Jin Young Kim
In article number 1600637, Alan J. Heeger, Han Young Woo, Jin Young Kim, and co-workers demonstrate high performance ternary blend polymer solar cells including two donor polymers which share the same polymeric backbone. Real charge carrier behavior of ternary blends is firstly clarified via transient absorption spectroscopy as parallel bulk-heterojunction.

Solar Cells: Morphological Degradation in Low Bandgap Polymer Solar Cells – An In Operando Study (Adv. Energy Mater. 19/2016)

Using small amounts of solvent additives during fabrication of organic solar cells has been formerly shown to render a facile approach for improving the performance by tuning the active layer nano-morphology. However, in certain cases, solvent additives are now found to accelerate device degradation. This is reported by Peter Müller-Buschbaum and co-workers in article number 1600712.

Transparent conducting oxide-free nitrogen-doped graphene/reduced hydroxylated carbon nanotube composite paper as flexible counter electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells
Publication date: 1 December 2016
Source:Journal of Power Sources, Volume 334
Author(s): Jindan Zhang, Mei Yu, Songmei Li, Yanbing Meng, Xueke Wu, Jianhua Liu
Three-dimensional nitrogen-doped graphene/reduced hydroxylated carbon nanotube composite aerogel (NG/CNT-OH) with unique hierarchical porosity and mechanical stability is developed through a two-step hydrothermal reaction. With plenty of exposed active sites and efficient multidimensional transport pathways of electrons and ions, NG/CNT-OH exhibits great electrocatalytic performances for I−/I3 − redox couple. The subsequent compressed NG/CNT-OH papers possess high electrical conductivity and good flexibility, thus generating high-performance flexible counter electrodes (CEs) with transparent conducting oxide free (TCO-free) for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The flexible NG/CNT-OH electrodes show good stability and the DSSCs with the optimized NG/CNT-OH CE had higher short-circuit current density (13.62 mA cm−2) and cell efficiency (6.36%) than DSSCs using Pt CE, whereas those of the DSSCs using Pt CE were only 12.81 mA cm−2 and 5.74%, respectively. Increasing the ratio of hydroxylated carbon nanotubes (CNT-OH) to the graphene oxide (GO) in the reactant would lead to less content of doped N, but better diffusion of electrolyte in the CEs because of more complete GO etching reaction. The design strategy presents a facile and cost effective way to synthesis three-dimensional graphene/CNT composite aerogel with excellent performance, and it can be potentially used as flexible TCO-free CE in other power conversion or energy storage devices.
