Abstract

A ZnO sol–gel precursor (ZnOPr) and graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) are mixed into a composite ink for inkjet printing photodetectors with bulk heterojunctions of ZnO/GnP on a heated SiO ₂/Si substrate. Heating of the SiO ₂/Si wafers at ~50 °C was found optimal to prevent segregated droplets on the hydrophobic surface of the SiO ₂/Si substrate during printing. After printing the ZnO/GnP channels, thermal annealing at 350 °C for 2 h was performed for crystallization of ZnO and formation of the ZnO/GnP heterojunctions. The GnP concentration was varied from 0, 5, 20, and 30 mM to evaluate optimal formation of the ZnO/GnP bulk heterojunction nanocomposites based on ultraviolet photoresponse performance. The best performance was observed at the 20 mM GnP concentration with the photoresponsivity reaching 2.2 A/W at an incident ultraviolet power of 2.2 μW and a 5 V bias. This photoresponsivity is an order of magnitude better than the previously reported counterparts, including 0.13 mA/W for dropcasted ZnO-graphite composites and much higher than 0.5 A/W for aerosol printed ZnO. The improved performance is attributed to the ZnO/GnP bulk heterojunctions with improved interfaces that enable efficient exciton dissociation and the charge transport. The developed inkjet printing of sol–gel composite inks approachmore »« less

Lightweight graphene nanoplatelet/boron carbide composite with high EMI shielding effectiveness

Journal Article Tan, Yongqiang ; Luo, Heng ; Zhang, Haibin, E-mail: hbzhang@caep.cn, E-mail: pengshuming@caep.cn ; ... - AIP Advances

Lightweight graphene nanoplatelet (GNP)/boron carbide (B{sub 4}C) composites were prepared and the effect of GNPs loading on the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) has been evaluated in the X-band frequency range. Results have shown that the EMI SE of GNP/B{sub 4}C composite increases with increasing the GNPs loading. An EMI SE as high as 37 ∼ 39 dB has been achieved in composite with 5 vol% GNPs. The high EMI SE is mainly attributed to the high electrical conductivity, high dielectric loss as well as multiple reflections by aligned GNPs inside the composite. The GNP/B{sub 4}C composite is demonstratedmore »« less

Inkjet Printed Metallizations for Cu(In1-xGax)Se2 Photovoltaic Cells

Journal Article Hersh, Peter A. ; Curtis, Calvin J. ; van Hest, Maikel F. A. M. ; ... - Progress in Photovoltaics

This study reports the inkjet printing of Ag front contacts on Aluminum doped Zinc Oxide (AZO)/intrinsic Zinc Oxide (i-ZnO)/CdS/Cu(In{sub 1-x}Ga{sub x})Se{sub 2} (CIGS)/Mo thin film photovoltaic cells. The printed Ag contacts are being developed to replace the currently employed evaporated Ni/Al bi-layer contacts. Inkjet deposition conditions were optimized to reduce line resistivity and reduce contact resistance to the Al:ZnO layer. Ag lines printed at a substrate temperature of 200 C showed a line resistivity of 2.06 {mu}{Omega} {center_dot} cm and a contact resistance to Al:ZnO of 8.2 {+-} 0.2 m{Omega} {center_dot} cm{sup 2} compared to 6.93 {+-} 0.3 m{Omega} {center_dot}more »« less

Enhanced Li- and Na-storage in Sb-Graphene nanocomposite anodes

Journal Article Yi, Yeongjae ; Shim, Hyun-Woo ; Seo, Seung-Deok ; ... - Materials Research Bulletin

Highlights: • Antimony-graphene nanocomposite (Sb-GNP) was prepared by a wet-chemical approach. • Sb-GNP exhibits the well-dispersed Sb nanoparticles anchored on the graphenes. • Sb-GNP shows highly reversible capacities in both Li- and Na-storage. - Abstract: Antimony-graphene nanocomposite (Sb-GNP) was prepared from commercially available graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) by a simple wet-chemical route at room temperature, and systematically investigated as an anode material for both lithium- and sodium-ion batteries (LIBs and NIBs). The microstructural features of Sb-GNP, and of pure Sb nanoparticles prepared without addition of GNPs, were characterized using X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Impact of surface morphology of Si substrate on performance of Si/ZnO heterojunction devices grown by atomic layer deposition technique

Journal Article Hazra, Purnima ; Singh, Satyendra Kumar ; Jit, Satyabrata, E-mail: sjit.ece@itbhu.ac.in - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, Vacuum, Surfaces and Films

In this paper, the authors have investigated the structural, optical, and electrical characteristics of silicon nanowire (SiNW)/zinc oxide (ZnO) core–shell nanostructure heterojunctions and compared their characteristics with Si/ZnO planar heterojunctions to investigate the effect of surface morphology of Si substrate in the characteristics of Si/ZnO heterojunction devices. In this work, ZnO thin film was conformally deposited on both p-type 〈100〉 planar Si substrate and substrate with vertically aligned SiNW arrays by atomic layer deposition (ALD) method. The x-ray diffraction spectra show that the crystalline structures of Si/ZnO heterojunctions are having (101) preferred orientation, whereas vertically oriented SiNW/ZnO core–shell heterojunctions aremore »« less
