This study introduces a novel type I heterostructure, ZnS/Ga<sub>2</sub>SSe, and gives a systematic investigation of its electronic properties, optical properties, and photocatalytic performance by DFT calculations. Electronic properties show that ZnS/Ga<sub>2</sub>SSe system has a type I band alignment with a 2.26 eV band gap. Different from traditional type I heterostructure, ZnS/Ga<sub>2</sub>SSe has an obvious interfacial electric field and a potential barrier, which promotes spatial charge separation and addresses the drawback of easy recombination of photo-generated carriers in traditional type I heterojunctions. The calculated results of Gibbs free energy show that under the 3.3 eV external potential and pH = 14, water splitting reaction can be achieved spontaneously. Moreover, the heterojunction shows good optical absorption in visible regions and 22.28 % STH efficiency which is higher than the reported type I photocatalysts. The biaxial strain can modulate the electronic structure and maintain type I alignment. Tensile can reduce the bandgap and enhance optical absorption, while compression is the opposite. Under 4 % tensile, STH efficiency can reach 40.3 %, while −4 % compression it will decrease to 10.3 %.

However, the preparation of a perovskite absorber layer on a nanowire array with quantum dots often presents issues such as high roughness and a large number of lattice defects, which have a negative impact on the photovoltaic performance. The anti-solvent method is a commonly used technique to improve the quality of perovskite. The temperature variation of the anti-solvent can change solubility, and influence the reaction rate and crystal formation process of perovskite, thus affecting its photovoltaic performance. In this study, the quality of perovskite in the core-shell nanostructure nanowire array was improved by controlling the temperature of the anti-solvent (toluene). Experimental results show that as the temperature of toluene increases, the photovoltaic performance is gradually improved. When the toluene temperature was maintained at 75 °C, the device exhibited significantly improved photovoltaic performance with an efficiency of 12.64 %, surpassing the efficiency obtained without any anti-solvent modification. As the temperature of the anti-solvent increases, the absorption of visible and near-infrared light spectrum by the nanowire arrays is enhanced, which promotes the efficient generation of photo-generated carriers. Furthermore, defects in the nanowire arrays gradually decrease, leading to a reduction in carrier recombination.

The thermal properties and thermoelectric performance of BPNTs are temperature-dependent. Increasing of excited electrons thermal energy cause more occupation of high energy levels in the conduction bands. The electric field further enhances the thermal properties of BPNTs by modifying their electronic properties and reducing the band gap. Stronger electric fields cause a noticeable enhancement in the BPNTs thermal properties because it is increasing the concentration of excited charge carriers.

The absorber is made up of a 4-layer TiO<sub>2</sub>-TiN nanoring array, a TiO<sub>2</sub> insulating layer and a Ti substrate, all of which are high-melting materials. The absorber exhibits an absorption efficiency surpassing 95 % across a wavelength span of 280–4000 nm, thereby attaining a bandwidth of 3720 nm. Additionally, it maintains an average absorption efficiency of 98.8 % throughout the entire wavelength spectrum. Furthermore, calculations reveal that the absorber possesses a solar spectrum-weighted absorption of up to 99 %. The analysis of the electric field distribution indicates that the observed intense absorption is attributed to the plasmonic resonance phenomenon, along with the near-field coupling effects exhibited by the multi-turn nanorings. In addition, our calculations revealed a remarkably high thermal radiation efficiency for this absorber, specifically 99.2 % at 2000 K and 98.9 % at 1500 K, respectively. Therefore, we then calculated the photothermal conversion efficiency of the absorber. At the solar concentration factor C = 1000, the photothermal conversion efficiency surpasses 90 % across the entire temperature range. At C = 100, it is still greater than 80 % at 1000 K. At C = 10, it is still greater than 80 % at 700 K. And at C = 1, it is still greater than 80 % at 500 K. These results indicate that absorbers can be used in a variety of environments. Furthermore, the absorber sustains its superior absorption capabilities at wider solar radiation angles, demonstrating insensitive properties to polarization variations and robust tolerance to manufacturing inaccuracies. These exceptional attributes render it highly suited for diverse applications in solar energy harvesting and photothermal transformation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20181,"journal":{"name":"Physica E-low-dimensional Systems & Nanostructures","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 116123"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142534818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
