High-efficiency polymer solar cells with small photon energy loss
A crucial issue facing polymer-based solar cells is how to manage the energetics of the polymer/fullerene blends to maximize short-circuit current density and open-circuit voltage at the same time and thus the power conversion efficiency. Here we demonstrate that the use of a naphthobisoxadiazole-based polymer with a narrow bandgap of 1.52 eV leads to high open-circuit voltages of approximately...
متن کاملImproving O2 production of WO3 photoanodes with IrO2 in acidic aqueous electrolyte.
WO3 is a promising candidate for a photoanode material in an acidic electrolyte, in which it is more stable than most metal oxides, but kinetic limitations combined with the large driving force available in the WO3 valence band for water oxidation make competing reactions such as the oxidation of the acid counterion a more favorable reaction. The incorporation of an oxygen evolving catalyst (OE...
متن کاملUnassisted photoelectrochemical water splitting exceeding 7% solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency using photon recycling
Various tandem cell configurations have been reported for highly efficient and spontaneous hydrogen production from photoelectrochemical solar water splitting. However, there is a contradiction between two main requirements of a front photoelectrode in a tandem cell configuration, namely, high transparency and high photocurrent density. Here we demonstrate a simple yet highly effective method t...
متن کاملThermally stable N2-intercalated WO3 photoanodes for water oxidation.
We describe stable intercalation compounds of the composition xN(2)·WO(3) (x = 0.034-0.039), formed by trapping N(2) in WO(3). The incorporation of N(2) significantly reduced the absorption threshold of WO(3); notably, 0.039N(2)·WO(3) anodes exhibited photocurrent under illumination at wavelengths ≤640 nm with a faradaic efficiency for O(2) evolution in 1.0 M HClO(4)(aq) of nearly unity. Spectr...
متن کاملOne-Dimensional Electrolyzer Modeling and System Sizing for Solar Hydrogen Production: an Economic Approach
In this paper, a solar based hydrogen production in the city of Tehran, the capital of Iran is simulated and the cost of produced hydrogen is evaluated. Local solar power profile is obtained using TRNSYS software for a typical parking station in Tehran. The generated electricity is used to supply power to a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer for hydrogen production. Dynamic nature of s...
