When arranged in a proper nanoaggregate architecture, gold nanoparticles can offer controllable plasmon-related absorption/scattering, yielding distinct color effects that depend critically on the relative orientation and distance between nanoparticle constituents. Herein, we report on the implementation of novel plasmonic nanoarchitectures based on complexes between gold nanoparticles and an azobenzene-modified cationic surfactant that can exhibit a light-tunable plasmonic response. The formation of such complexes becomes possible through the use of strongly negatively charged bare gold nanoparticles (similar to 10-nm diameter) prepared by the method of laser ablation in deionized water. Driven by electrostatic interactions, the cationic surfactant molecules attach and form a shell around the negatively charged nanoparticles, resulting in neutralization of the particle charge or even overcompensation beyond which the nanoparticles become positively charged. At low and high surfactant concentrations, Au nanoparticles are negatively and positively charged, respectively, and are represented by single species due to electric repulsion effects having absorption peaks around 523-527 nm, whereas at intermediate concentrations, the Au nanoparticles become neutral, forming nanoscale 100-nm clusterlike aggregates and exhibiting an additional absorption peak at gimel > 600 nm and a visible change in the color of the solution from red to blue. Because of the presence of the photosensitive azobenzene unit in the surfactant tail that undergoes trans-to-cis isomerization under irradiation with UV light, we then demonstrate a light-controlled nanoclustering of nanoparticles, yielding a switch in the plasmonic absorption band and a related change in the solution color. The formed hybrid architectures with a light-controlled plasmonic response could be important for a variety of tasks, including biomedical, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), data transmission, and storage applications.
Time-delayed collection field (TDCF), bias-assisted charge extraction (BACE), and space charge-limited current (SCLC) measurements are combined with complete numerical device simulations to unveil the effect of the solvent additive 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) on the performance of PTB7:PCBM bulk heterojunction solar cells. DIO is shown to increase the charge generation rate, reduce geminate and bimolecular recombination, and increase the electron mobility. In total, the reduction of loss currents by processing with the additive raises the power conversion efficiency of the PTB7:PCBM blend by a factor of almost three. The lower generation rates and higher geminate recombination losses in devices without DIO are consistent with a blend morphology comprising large fullerene clusters embedded within a PTB7-rich matrix, while the low electron mobility suggests that these fullerene clusters are themselves composed of smaller pure fullerene aggregates separated by disordered areas. Our device simulations show unambiguously that the effect of the additive on the shape of the currentvoltage curve (J-V) cannot be ascribed to the variation of only the mobility, the recombination, or the field dependence of generation. It is only when the changes of all three parameters are taken into account that the simulation matches the experimental J-V characteristics under all illumination conditions and for a wide range of voltages.
Among the parameters that characterize a solar cell and define its power-conversion efficiency, the fill factor is the least well understood, making targeted improvements difficult. Here we quantify the competition between charge extraction and recombination by using a single parameter theta, and we demonstrate that this parameter is directly related to the fill factor of many different bulk-heterojunction solar cells. Our finding is supported by experimental measurements on 15 different donor: acceptor combinations, as well as by drift-diffusion simulations of organic solar cells in which charge-carrier mobilities, recombination rate, light intensity, energy levels and active-layer thickness are all varied over wide ranges to reproduce typical experimental conditions. The results unify the fill factors of several very different donor: acceptor combinations and give insight into why fill factors change so much with thickness, light intensity and materials properties. To achieve fill factors larger than 0.8 requires further improvements in charge transport while reducing recombination.
This work elucidates the impact of charge transport on the photovoltaic properties of organic solar cells. Here we show that the analysis of current-voltage curves of organic solar cells under illumination with the Shockley equation results in values for ideality factor, photo-current and parallel resistance, which lack physical meaning. Drift-diffusion simulations for a wide range of charge-carrier mobilities and illumination intensities reveal significant carrier accumulation caused by poor transport properties, which is not included in the Shockley equation. As a consequence, the separation of the quasi Fermi levels in the organic photoactive layer (internal voltage) differs substantially from the external voltage for almost all conditions. We present a new analytical model, which considers carrier transport explicitly. The model shows excellent agreement with full drift-diffusion simulations over a wide range of mobilities and illumination intensities, making it suitable for realistic efficiency predictions for organic solar cells.
Blending the conjugated polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) with the insulating electret polystyrene (PS), we show that the threshold voltage V-t of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) can be easily and reversely tuned by applying a gate bias stress at 130 degrees C. It is proposed that this phenomenon is caused by thermally activated charge injection from P3HT into PS matrix, and that this charge is immobilized within the PS matrix after cooling down to room temperature. Therefore, room-temperature hysteresis-free FETs with desired V-t can be easily achieved. The approach is applied to reversely tune the OFET mode of operation from accumulation to depletion, and to build inverters. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
Vacuum space charge induced kinetic energy shifts of O 1s and Ru 3d core levels in femtosecond soft X-ray photoemission spectra (PES) have been studied at a free electron laser (FEL) for an oxygen layer on Ru(0001). We fully reproduced the measurements by simulating the in-vacuum expansion of the photoelectrons and demonstrate the space charge contribution of the high-order harmonics in the FEL beam. Employing the same analysis for 400 nm pump-X-ray probe PES, we can disentangle the delay dependent Ru 3d energy shifts into effects induced by space charge and by lattice heating from the femtosecond pump pulse.
