    Characterization of Organic Thin Film Solar Cells of PCDTBT : PC71BM Prepared by Different Mixing Ratio and Effect of Hole Transport Layer (2015)
    Hindawi
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-04-08
    Description: The organic thin film solar cells (OTFSCs) have been successfully fabricated using PCDTBT : PC71BM with different mixing ratios (1 : 1 to 1 : 8) and the influence of hole transport layer thickness (PEDOT : PSS). The active layers with different mixing ratios of PCDTBT : PC71BM have been fabricated using o-dichlorobenzene (o-DCB). The surface morphology of the active layers and PEDOT : PSS layer with different thicknesses were characterized by AFM analysis. Here, we report that the OTFSCs with high performance have been optimized with 1 : 4 ratios of PCDTBT : PC71BM. The power conversion efficiency (PCE = 5.17%) of the solar cells was significantly improved by changing thickness of PEDOT : PSS layer. The thickness of the PEDOT : PSS layer was found to be of significant importance; the thickness of the PEDOT : PSS layer at 45 nm (higher spin speed 5000 rpm) shows higher short circuit current density () and lower series resistance () and higher PCE.

    Photomechanical Energy Conversion of Photoresponsive Fibers Exhibiting Bending Behavior (2012)
    Hindawi
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-09-14
    Description: Photoresponsive fibers based on poly(acrylamide) (PAA) with methylene blue (MB) dye were prepared. All semicircular fibers show bending towards the direction of the flat surface of the fiber when illuminated. The fibers recover their initial shape when the illumination stops. The fiber is heated upon illumination and cooled to room temperature once the illumination is stopped. The fiber also is sensitive to humidity, showing bending behavior towards the direction of the flat surface of the fiber upon changing the humidity. The mechanical energy of the PAA/MB fiber is approximately 0.6 mN for the bending direction when it is illuminated. A possible mechanism for the bending behavior is as follow: (1) the fiber is heated upon illumination because of the photothermal effect, (2) the fiber loses water molecules, (3) the fiber shrinks; bending towards the direction of the flat surface of the fiber occurs because of a difference in the shrinkage for the flat surface and the other side of the fiber. Finally, we demonstrated that a PP ball (1.5 mg) can be moved by the mechanical energy produced by the changing shape of the fiber upon illumination.

    Analysis of distribution of critical current of bent-damaged Bi2223 composite tape (2011)
    Institute of Physics (IOP)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-07-23
    Description: Distributions of critical current of damaged Bi2223 tape specimens bent by 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0% were investigated analytically with a modelling approach based on the correlation of damage evolution to distribution of critical current. It was revealed that the distribution of critical current is described by three parameter Weibull distribution function through the distribution of the tensile damage strain of Bi2223 filaments that determines the damage front in bent-composite tape. Also it was shown that the measured distribution of critical current values can be reproduced successfully by a Monte Carlo simulation using the distributions of tensile damage strain of filaments and original critical current.

    Effects of Organic Solvents for Composite Active Layer of PCDTBT/PC71BM on Characteristics of Organic Solar Cell Devices (2014)
    Hindawi
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-01-30
    Description: Bulk heterojunction (BHJ) structure based active layers of PCDTBT/PC71BM were prepared by using different organic solvents for fabrication of organic solar cell (OSC) devices. Mixture of precursor solutions of PCDTBT/PC71BM in three different organic solvents was prepared to fabricate composite active layers by spin-coating process: chloroform; chlorobenzene; o-dichlorobenzene. Four different blend ratios (1 : 3–1 : 6) of PCDTBT: PC71BM were adopted for each organic solvent to clarify the effect on the resulting OSC device characteristics. Surface morphology of the active layers was distinctively affected by the blend ratio of PCDTBT/PC71BM in organic solvents. Influence of the blend ratio of PCDTBT/PC71BM on the OSC device parameters was discussed. Performance parameters of the resulting OSC devices with different composite active layers were comparatively investigated. Appropriate blend ratio and organic solvent to achieve better OSC device performance were proposed. Furthermore, from the UV-Vis spectrum of each active layer prepared using the PCDTBT/PC71BM mixed solution dissolved with different organic solvents, a possibility that the nanophase separation structure inside their active layer could appear was suggested.

    Effect of Ewald sphere curvature on the GISAXS analysis of capped Germanium nanodot samples in the soft X-ray region (2011)
    Institute of Physics (IOP)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-09-20
    Description: Use of soft X-rays (SX) for assessing three dimensional structures in thin films by grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GI-SAXS) has been discussed with an example of Ge nanodot structures grown on (001) Si substrates and capped with Si. GISAXS patterns obtained by the measurements were compared with model calculations, and several characteristic differences between GISAXS in the SX and that in hard X-rays have been discussed. It was concluded that although the curvature of the Ewald sphere slightly affects the two-dimensional GISAXS profiles, a two dimensional detector can be still used at the photon energy of about 2 keV. On the other hand, such effect may become dominant when the size of the nanostructure becomes smaller and the photon energy decreases.

    Fabrication of a Porous TiO2-Coated Silica Glass Tube and Its Application for a Handy Water Purification Unit (2014)
    Hindawi
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-05-15
    Description: A simple, handy, reusable, and inexpensive water purification unit including a one-end sealed porous amorphous-silica (a-silica) tube coated with 2 μm of porous TiO2 photocatalyst layers has been developed. Both TiO2 and a-silica layers were formed through outside vapor deposition (OVD). Raman spectrum of the porous TiO2-coated a-silica glass tube indicated that the anatase content of the TiO2 layers of the tube was estimated to be approximately 60 wt%. Developed porous TiO2-coated a-silica glass tube has been assayed for the tube filtering feature against Escherichia coli (E. coli) solution used as one of the typical bacteria size species or Q phage also used as typical virus size species and compared with the feature of porous a-silica tubes alone. The tubes removed E. coli completely from the aqueous suspension which contained 106 CFU/mL of E. coli without UV irradiation. The porous TiO2-coated a-silica glass tube with UV-C lamps successfully reduced the Q phage amount in the suspension from 109 to 103 PFU/mL.

    Characterization of the Organic Thin Film Solar Cells with Active Layers of PTB7/PC71BM Prepared by Using Solvent Mixtures with Different Additives (2014)
    Hindawi
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-06-11
    Description: Organic thin film solar cells (OTFSCs) were fabricated with blended active layers of poly[[4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene-2,6-diyl][3-fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl)carbonyl]thieno[3,4-b]thiophenediyl]] (PTB7)/[6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric (PC71BM). The performances of active layers are prepared in chlorobenzene (CB) with different additives of 1-chloronaphthalene (CN) and 1,8-Diiodooctane (DIO) by a wet process with spin coating technique. The effects of different solvent additives on photovoltaic parameters such as fill factor, short circuit current density, and power conversion efficiency of active layers are reported. The absorption and surface morphology of the active layers are investigated using UV-visible spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy, respectively. The results indicate that structural and morphological changes were induced by the additives with solvent. The current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics of photovoltaic cells were measured under the illumination of simulated solar light with 100 mW/cm2 (AM 1.5 G) by an Oriel 1000 W solar simulator. The OTFSCs of PTB7/PC71BM prepared with organic solvent additives of DIO+CN show more improved PCE of 4.96% by spin coating method.

    Direct Solvothermal Liquefaction of Pennisetum purpureum Biomass to Produce Biocrude Using Ethanol Solvent (2018)
    Institute of Physics (IOP)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-03-06
    Description: Direct solvothermal liquefaction was used in converting the lignocellulosic biomass, Pennisetum purpureum or Napier grass using ethanol as solvent. Liquefaction of Napier grass resulted in a dark and viscous bio-crude product and exhibited promising yields (34.6377% to 48.6267%). It was determined that the effects of temperature and residence time were statistically significant with the residence time having the greatest positive effect on yield. High yields of bio-crude from Napier grass seem to occur when solvothermal temperature, residence time increased and as solids ratio decreased. However, elemental analysis showed that the bio-crude produced needs to undergo deoxygenation (O: 14.25 – 49.42%) before mixing with petroleum. For the higher heating value (HHV), the parameters observed in the study were statistically insignificant, however, temperature was determined to have the greatest positive effect on HHV. It was observed that high HHV bio-crude were produced at high temp...
