Among various new energy technologies, photovoltaic solar cells are undoubtedly one of the most promising directions. Among many new types of solar cells, perovskite thin-film solar cells have attracted a lot of attention from many solar energy researchers because of their high photoelectric conversion efficiency. In perovskite solar cells, in addition to the active layer material affecting the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the device, the interface layers(hole transport layer and electron transport layer) between the active layer and the electrode are also key factors. Therefore, in the current material structure of perovskite cells, the interface layer material has become an important research field. In this study, the inorganic copper thiocyanate (CuSCN) film was prepared by gas-assisted spin coating method, which was used as the hole transport layer(HTL) of perovskite solar cell to replace the traditional polymer material PEDOT:PSS. The thickness, crystallization characteristics, interface structure, annealing temperature and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell will be carefully investigated in this study. The experimental results show that cuprous thiocyanate can effectively replace PEDOT: PSS as a hole transport layer in perovskite solar cells. The cell with the best photoelectric conversion efficiency has a J_(sc) of 21.4 mA/cm^2, a V_(oc) of 1.0 mV, and a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 15.1%.","PeriodicalId":14209,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science and Engineering","volume":"10 1","pages":"193-200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41688844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main plot was filtration time and the subplot was level of polymer concentration. The data was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and continued by Duncan Test in 5% level if there was a significant effect. The result showed that there was no interaction effect (P>0,05) between polymer concentration and time filtration to membrane flux and milk nutrient content. The difference of polymer concentration affect membrane flux and the milk water content (P 0,05) toward fat and protein content. Water content in milk filtrated by M1 and M3 membrane increased significantly, whereas water content in milk filtrated by M2 membrane decreased significantly. Fat content in milk filtrated by M1, M2 and M3 membrane were decreased. Milk protein content filtrated by M1 and M2 membrane tend to increase, while milk protein content filtrated by M3 membrane tend to decrease.

In the proposed technique, Tier -1 and Tier -2 processes of JPEG 2000 and Motion JPEG 2000 are executed twice on the encoder side to collect the information about the lowest bit planes of all code blocks of a cover image, which is utilized in embedding and transmitted to the decoder.
