We synthesize Tm3＋/Tb3＋/Eu3＋ triply-doped ZrF4-BaF2-LaF3-A1F3-NaF （ZBLAN） transparent glass by using a melt-quenching method. Under excitation of 365 nm, the white emission with Commission internationale deL＇Eclairage （CIE） coordinates of （0.33, 0.33） is achieved at the Eu3＋ concentration of 1.1 mol%. The mechanisms for white emission and the energy transfer process of Tb3＋→ Eu3＋ are discussed in terms of the photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation spectra, and the light emission decay curves. The nature for the Tb3＋ → Eu3＋ energy transfer is described with the aid of an energy level diagram.
ZnO nanorods prepared by a solution-phase method are annealed at different temperatures in oxygen ambient.The luminescence properties of the samples are investigated.In the same excitation condition,the photoluminescence(PL) spectra of all samples show an ultraviolet(UV) emission and a broad strong visible emission band.The asymmetric visible emis-sion band of annealed samples has a red-shift as the annealing temperature increasing from 200 ℃ to 600 ℃ and it can be deconvoluted into two subband emissions centered at 535 nm(green emission) and 611 nm(orange-red emission) by Gaussian-fitting analysis.Analyses of PL excitation(PLE) spectra and PL spectra at different excitation wavelengths reveal that the green emission and the orange-red emission have a uniform initial state,which can be attributed to the electron transition from Zn interstitial(Zni) to oxygen vacancy(Vo) and oxygen interstitial(Oi),respectively.
Silver nanoparticles(Ag NPs)are synthesized with chemical method,which are introduced into the traditional organic photovoltaic(OPV)structure.The experimental results show that both the optical and photoelectric properties are en-hanced because of localized surface plasmon(LSP)effects of Ag NPs.The advantage of adding Ag NPs behind active layer in incident direction is discussed.We believe this route can avoid absorption shadow and enhance the reusing of transmitted light of active layer.The average short-circuit current(J SC)of the optimum device can be raised from 9.23mA/cm2 to 10.84mA/cm2,and the energy converting efficiency(PCE)can be raised from 3.22% to 3.85%.
Improved power conversion efficiency(PCE)and stability of organic bulk heterojunction(BHJ)solar cells based on poly(2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene)(MEH-PPV)and methanofullerene[6,6]-phenyl C_(61)-butyric acid methyl ester(PCBM)blends are obtained by using ditert butyl peroxide(DTBP)as an additive.The effect of the DTBP contents on the performance of photovoltaic cells is investigated.The results reveal that efficiency enhancement of MEH-PPV:PCBM solar cells can be realized by carefully tuning the contents of DTBP.Compared to the control device,the optimized device with 0.5wt%DTBP additive exhibits enhanced performance with Jsc of(3.51±0.21)mA/cm^(2),FF of(44.45±0.71)%,and PCE of(1.31±0.08)%,increased by 9.3%,8.0%and 22.4%,respectively.The stability of the device is found to be improved by adding 0.5wt%of DTBP.
