项目摘要
CBET-0828703HanrathWith surging interest in the development of cheaper and more efficient photovoltaic Materials semiconductor nanocrystals have emerged as a promising candidate potentially offering major benefits as light harvesting elements. These materials have a number of desirable characteristics. The electronic and optical properties of nanocrystals are size-tunable, which will allow optimal coverage of the solar spectrum by structures with large cross-sections. Their compatibility with solution environments and low-temperature processing are attractive for practical and cost-effective production. Beyond their potential to transform low-cost solar energy conversion technology, nanocrystal-based solar cells also have the potential for substantially increased efficiency, based on the recently-discovered process of efficient multi-exciton generation. In this process a single incident photon can generate multiple electron-hole pairs and thereby utilize the absorbed photon energy in excess of the band gap, which would otherwise be lost as heat.Progress in the development of nanocrystal-based solar cells is currently limited by the lack of molecular-level control over the electronic properties at the interface. Initial efforts in this field have focused on hybrid organic-inorganic devices based on blends of nanocrystals and conjugated polymers. This approach suffered from poor extraction of photogenerated carriers and illustrated that improved understanding and control over the interface properties are required to fully harness the unique photon harvesting properties of these materials. The project led by Engstrom and Hanrath leverages their expertise in surface science, nanocrystal synthesis and device fabrication to study fundamental principles of interface charge transfer and to integrate tailored nanocrystal interfaces into novel all-inorganic distributed heterojunction solar cells. The goals of their work are: (1) to understand and control the electronic structure and transport properties at nanocrystal interfaces and (2) to apply that knowledge to engineer optimized interfaces for the use of semiconductor nanocrystals in distributed heterojunction solar cells.Beyond the scientific activities, the project will engage a number of faculty and students involved in solar energy research in a workshop on research ethics. Solar energy, being on the frontier of research, is susceptible to practices that might lead to a number of undesirable outcomes. Educating the community about the proper conduct of research, ranging from the writing of and review of proposals to day-to-day activities in the lab will better foster a productive research environment. Finally, the project is closely integrated with a number of outreach and educational activities. We have aligned with the Cornell Institute for Physics Teachers to reach out to high school teachers and students and engage them in the exciting advances being made in the field.
随着人们对开发更便宜、更高效的光伏材料的兴趣日益浓厚,半导体纳米晶体已经成为一种有希望的候选材料,可能作为光捕获元件提供主要好处。这些材料具有许多期望的特性。纳米晶体的电子和光学性质是尺寸可调的,这将允许通过具有大横截面的结构来最佳地覆盖太阳光谱。它们与溶液环境的兼容性和低温处理对于实际和成本效益的生产具有吸引力。除了改变低成本太阳能转换技术的潜力之外,基于纳米晶的太阳能电池还具有基于最近发现的高效多激子生成过程大幅提高效率的潜力。在这个过程中,一个单一的入射光子可以产生多个电子空穴对,从而利用吸收的光子能量超过带隙,否则将失去作为热量。在纳米晶为基础的太阳能电池的发展进展目前受到限制,缺乏分子水平的控制在界面处的电子特性。在这一领域的最初努力集中在基于纳米晶体和共轭聚合物的共混物的杂化有机-无机器件上。这种方法遭受光生载流子的不良提取,并说明需要改进对界面特性的理解和控制,以充分利用这些材料独特的光子捕获特性。该项目由Engstrom和Hanrath领导,利用他们在表面科学、纳米材料合成和器件制造方面的专业知识,研究界面电荷转移的基本原理,并将定制的纳米材料界面集成到新型全无机分布式异质结太阳能电池中。他们的工作目标是:(1)理解和控制电子结构和输运特性在异质结界面和(2)应用这些知识来设计优化的界面,在分布式异质结太阳能电池中使用半导体纳米晶体。除了科学活动,该项目将吸引一些教师和学生参与太阳能研究的研究伦理研讨会。太阳能处于研究的前沿,很容易受到可能导致一些不良结果的做法的影响。教育社区正确进行研究,从提案的撰写和审查到实验室的日常活动,将更好地促进富有成效的研究环境。最后,该项目与一些外联和教育活动密切结合。我们与康奈尔大学物理教师研究所合作,与高中教师和学生接触,让他们参与到该领域令人兴奋的进步中来。
