Towards high efficiency thin film solar cells by Han, Guifang, Zhang, Sam, Boix, Pablo P., Wong, Lydia Helena, Sun, Lidong, Lien, Shui-Yang

“…The biggest bottleneck for the cost-effective polycrystalline inorganic cells is the composition sensitivity and deep defects; for amorphous silicon cells, it is the quantum of the dangling bonds; for organic cells, it is the low charge carrier mobility and high exciton binding energy; and for perovskite cells, it is the environmental degradation and the controversial mechanisms of generation of I-V hysteresis. Strategies of light harvesting and charge handling as well as directions to break the bottlenecks are pointed out.…”

Theoretical investigation of injection-locked high modulation bandwidth quantum cascade lasers by Meng, Bo, Wang, Qi Jie

“…By applying the injection locking scheme, we find that the modulation bandwidths of up to ~30 GHz and ~70 GHz can be achieved for QCLs at 4.6 μm and 9 μm, respectively, with an injection ratio of 5 dB. The result also shows that an ultrawide modulation bandwidth of more than 200 GHz is possible with a 10 dB injection ratio for QCLs at 9 μm. …”

Polypyrrole nanorod networks/carbon nanoparticles composite counter electrodes for high-efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells by Peng, Shengjie, Tian, Lingling, Liang, Jing, Mhaisalkar, Subodh Gautam, Ramakrishna, Seeram

“…The better catalytic performance is attributed to the interaction of the superior electrocatalytic activity of the unique polypyrrole nanorod networks and the carbon nanoparticles, which can accelerate triiodide reduction and electron transfer in the electrode. Under standard AM 1.5 sunlight illumination, the dye-sensitized solar cell based on the PPy/C composite with 10% carbon content as the counter electrode demonstrates a high efficiency of 7.2%, which is much higher than that of pristine PPy and carbon electrode-based DSCs and comparable to that of the thermal decomposed Pt-based DSC.…”
