However, its energy band positions are not extensively explored which are essential for effective charge separation and transfer. This study examines the energy band positions of Sb2S3 thin films as a function of annealing temperature. Sb2S3 thin films are grown by a combination of successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) and chemical bath deposition (CBD) method to enhance the crystallinity, tune the bandgap, and overall quality of Sb2S3 films to enhance the photovoltaic performance. Optical bandgap decreases from 2.41 to 1.67 eV from the as-deposited films to annealed at 300 °C due to changes in interatomic distances. Energy band positions of Sb2S3 films are measured both by cost-effective electrochemical cyclic voltammetry and Mott–Schottky analysis and validated the findings using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). The conductivity of Sb2S3 is found to be n-type. Thin-film solar cells are then fabricated by employing Sb2S3 as an absorber layer in an FTO/TiO2/Sb2S3/P3HT/Au structure, achieving an enhanced power conversion efficiency, increasing from 0.4 to 2.8% after annealing. These findings demonstrate the potential of Sb2S3 as a low-cost absorber material for thin-film photovoltaics.","PeriodicalId":11573,"journal":{"name":"Energy technology","volume":"13 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143939056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the weak conductivity of the sulfur and discharge products, the drastic breakdown and migration of the intermediates of lithium polysulfide (LiPSs) leading to shuttle effect, and the enormous volumetric change of sulfur particles upon cycle substantially hinder their practical uses. Due to the considerable capacity diminishing caused by the shuttle impact corrosion of the lithium metal, LSBs are thought to have significant commercial application challenges. Engineering nanomaterials’ surface structures can increase the affinity between the cathode with the LiPSs while also enabling the redox kinetics of the LiPSs, which results in a low level of LiPSs in the electrolyte that can restrict the shuttle effect. Sulfur and carbon materials, when combined, effectively increase the efficiency of active materials, increase the conductive properties of cathode components, and serve as a barrier against polysulfides.

In this regard, a series of inorganic metal sulfide HTLs such as FeS2, WS2, TiS2, HfS2, TaS2, and NiS2 is proposed to unveil its potential for novel SrZrSe3 absorber via SCAPS-1D by varying the key parameters of electron transport layer, absorber, and HTLs respectively. Interestingly, optimizing their properties boosts the built-in potential up to 1.06 V, resulting in effective separation and transportation of charge carriers toward their respective contacts. Furthermore, it increases absorption up to ≈6.5% by extending the absorption range toward the NIR region (700–850 nm) in all the solar cells. Finally, maximum power conversion efficiency of 21.77, 26.78, 27.60, 27.65, 27.63% with JSC of ≈29.3 mA cm−2 and less energy loss of ≈0.3 V for FeS2, WS2, TiS2, HfS2, TaS2, and NiS2 solar cells is accomplished.

These characteristics make hH compounds an attractive subject for detailed study and potential use in advanced thermoelectric systems. However, its thermoelectric applicability is limited because of high lattice thermal conductivity (κl). Various strategies, such as phase separation, grain-boundary scatterings, and electron–phonon interactions, have been used to reduce κl, which enhances phonon scatterings. Recently, high-entropy hH alloys have gained significant attention due to their distorted structure that inherently incorporates high phonon scattering features, addressing the key issue of hH. Herein, hH high-entropy alloys (Zr2Ni2−xFexSnSb; x = 0.30, 0.35, 0.40) have been synthesized by arc melting and heat treatment. A significantly reduced lattice thermal conductivities (<2.25 W mK−1 at 985 K) are obtained due to the presence of multicomponents, which scatter phonon significantly. Experimental observation is very well complimented with density functional theory findings by analyzing phonon dispersions, chemical bonding, group velocities, and anharmonicity. Thereby, it is demonstrated that a high thermoelectric figure of merit is achieved in the proposed hH high-entropy alloys by strengthening the phonon scatterings.","PeriodicalId":11573,"journal":{"name":"Energy technology","volume":"13 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143793949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work focuses on large-area (2.0 cm2) PSCs using PTAA as HTL with a device structure of FTO/m-TiO2/RbCs(MAFA)PbI3/PTAA/Ag. This PSC yields a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 9.35% and retains 72% of the initial PCE even after 2000 h of storage in ambient conditions, which is optimistic for the translation of the technology. The uniformity of the PTAA layer over the large area and proper band alignment at interfaces result in good performance of PSCs. A numerical model is studied for further optimization of this PSC. A large-area monolithic tandem PSC is demonstrated using RbCs (MAFA)PbI3/PTAA combination along with a low bandgap perovskite, yielding a PCE of 21.85% with a VOC of 1.83 V, which is quite significant for an active area of 2 cm2.
