Thermo‐Phototronic Effect Enhanced InP/ZnO Nanorod Heterojunction Solar Cells for Self‐Powered Wearable Electronics

Zhang, Kewei, Yang, Ya·2017·Advanced Functional Materials

Abstract

Enhancing interfacial charge transfer by the inner electric field is crucial for improving photovoltaic performance of heterojunction solar cells. Recent studies are focusing on how to utilize piezo‐phototronic effect (strain‐induced inner electric field) to modulate the interfacial charge transfer, whereas the preservation of solar cells from structure damage and performance decline under long‐term strain becomes increasingly challenging. Here, without use of strain, a thermo‐phototronic effect is presented to enhance the interfacial charge transfer in InP/ZnO nanorod heterojunction solar cells. Under a temperature gradient of 3.5 °C across the device, the output current and voltage of the solar cell under weak light illumination are enhanced by 27.3 and 76%, respectively. Moreover, the performance enhancement can be further regulated by applying different temperature gradients. This study serves as proof‐of‐principle for the thermo‐phototronic effect and pushes forward the maximum utilization of solar energy by a one‐circuit‐based photovoltaic‐thermoelectric system.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
