Enhancing the performance of the perovskite solar cells by modifying the SnO 2 electron transport layer

The tin oxide (SnO 2 ) electron transport layer (ETL) plays a vital role in the photo-conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability of organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, SnO 2 ETL-induced defects such as hydroxyl groups, oxygen vacancies, exposed Sn atoms, and dangling bonds hinder device performance. In this study, rubidium chloride (RbCl) has been used to modify the SnO 2 ETL. Perovskite film formed on the RbCl-modified SnO 2 ETL exhibits improved crystallinity with enlarged grain size and reduced grain boundaries and enhanced optical absorption. Further, the Hall-effect measurements indicate the improved carrier mobility, and the dark J-V curve shows the increment of electrical conductivity for the RbCl-modified SnO 2 ETL. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results demonstrate the surface defects passivation of the perovskite layer by modifying the SnO 2 ETL. A champion PCE of 19.35% has been achieved for the RbCl-modified SnO 2 ETL-based devices with improved stability, while the control devices with unmodified SnO 2 ETL show a PCE of 17.18%.

Intermediate-range chemical ordering of cations in molten RbCl-AgCl

A first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) is observed in the X-ray total structure factor of a molten mixture of RbCl-AgCl, while both pure melts of RbCl and AgCl do not exhibit FSDP individually. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the origin of the FSDP with the polarizable ion model (PIM). Coexistence of covalent Ag–Cl and ionic Rb–Cl bonds leads the system to evolve intermediate range ordering, which is simulated by introducing the induced polarization in different ways between Ag–Cl with fully polarizable treatment based on Vashishta-Raman potential and Rb–Cl with suppression over-polarization in the nearest neighbor contribution based on Born-Meyer potential. The partial structure factors for both the Ag–Ag and Rb–Rb correlations, S{sub AgAg}(Q) and S{sub RbRb}(Q), show a positive contribution to the FSDP, while S{sub AgRb}(Q) for the Ag–Rb correlation exhibits a negative contribution, indicating that Ag and Rb ions are distributed in an alternating manner within the intermediate-range length scale. The origin of the intermediate-range chemical ordering of cations can be ascribed to the preferred direction of the dipole moments of anions in the PIM.

Seed‐Assisted Growth for Scalable and Efficient Perovskite Solar Modules

Perovskite solar modules (PSMs) have shown remarkable photovoltaic potentials, but they still suffer from large power conversion efficiency (PCE) loss on scale‐up and instability due to inferior uniformity and crystallization over large areas. Herein, the scalable production of efficient and stable PSMs using a suite of all‐scalable fabrication methods featuring a two‐step blade/dip‐coating approach to deposit the perovskite absorber layer is demonstrated. Rubidium chloride is introduced to embed (PbI 2 ) 2 RbCl complex seeds in the first‐deposited PbI 2 precursor, which assists in uniform crystallization of the perovskite layer with high crystallinity and reduced defect density over large areas. Following the optimization of RbCl additives, a champion PSM with 17.9% PCE on a 7.6 × 7.6 cm 2 substrate with a 37 cm 2 aperture area is achieved. Moreover, the RbCl‐incorporated PSMs demonstrate excellent reproducibility and stability under continuous 1 sun illumination. This work shows that the two‐step blade/dip coating is a promising method for producing high‐efficiency and stable PSMs on an industrially relevant scale.

The Structural, Electronic, and Magnetic Properties of Binary Heusler Alloys ZCl{sub 3} (Z = Li, Na, K, Rb) with DO{sub 3}-Type Structure from First Principle Calculations

The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of binary Heusler alloys ZCl{sub 3} (Z = Li, Na, K, Rb) with DO{sub 3}-type structure have been studied by means of the first principle calculations. The calculated results reveal that all four alloys are half-metallic (HM) materials at the stable ferromagnetic ground state. The total magnetic moments (M{sub t}) of LiCl{sub 3}, NaCl{sub 3}, KCl{sub 3,} and RbCl{sub 3} alloys are all 2.000 μ{sub B}/f.u., following the Slater-Pauling rule M{sub t} = 24 − Z{sub t} for the former two alloys, while satisfying the Slater-Pauling rule M{sub t} = 30 − Z{sub t} for the latter two alloys. The spin-up band gaps of the binary Heusler alloys ZCl{sub 3} (Z = Li, Na, K, Rb) are 5.598, 5.687, 6.744, and 6.745 eV at equilibrium lattice constants 7.076, 7.237, 7.588, and 7.819 Å, respectively. The positive cohesion energy and negative formation energy indicate that they are thermodynamically stable. Moreover, wide HM regions for binary Heusler alloys ZCl{sub 3} (Z = Li, Na, K, Rb) show their HM characters are robust when the lattices are expanded or compressed under uniform and tetragonal strains. Finally, the total charge density, magnetic charge density, and charge density difference of the (110) plane for LiCl{sub 3} alloy are analyzed in detail.

Microscopic Dynamics of Inverse Wormlike Micelles Probed Using X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy

Wormlike micelles (WLMs) are ubiquitous viscoelastic modifiers that share properties with polymer solutions. While 5 their macroscopic rheology is well-understood, their microscopic dynamics are less studied because they span a large range of time 6 and length scales. In this work, we demonstrate the use of X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy to interrogate the segmental 7 dynamics of inverse WLM solutions swollen with a rubidium chloride solution. We observe a diffusive scaling of the dynamics and 8 extract a temperature-dependent diffusion coefficient, which we associate with the thermal interactions of the slow segmental 9 dynamics near entanglement points. Further, we probe this relaxation process across the unbranched to branched topological transition and 10 find no microstructural evidence of branch formation in the slow mode. Instead, we observe that the dynamics become more 11 homogeneous and prominent as the temperature is reduced and water content increases.

Specific activity and isotope abundances of strontium in purified strontium-82

A linear accelerator was used to irradiate a rubidium chloride target with protons to produce strontium-82 (Sr-82), and the Sr-82 was purified by ion exchange chromatography. The amount of strontium associated with the purified Sr-82 was determined by either: ICP-OES or method B which consisted of a summation of strontium quantified by gamma spectroscopy and ICP-MS. The summation method agreed within 10% to the ICP-OES for the total mass of strontium and the subsequent specific activities were determined to be 0.25–0.52 TBq mg -1 . Method B was used to determine the isotope abundances by weight% of the purified Sr-82, and the abundances were: Sr-82 (10–20.7%), Sr-83 (0–0.05%), Sr-84 (35–48.5%), Sr-85 (16–25%), Sr-86 (12.5–23%), Sr-87 (0%), and Sr-88 (0–10%). The purified strontium contained mass amounts of Sr-82, Sr-84, Sr-85, Sr-86, and Sr-88 in abundances not associated with natural abundance, and 90% of the strontium was produced by the proton irradiation. A comparison of ICP-OES and method B for the analysis of Sr-82 indicated analysis by ICP-OES would be easier to determine total mass of strontium and comply with regulatory requirements. An ICP-OES analytical method for Sr-82 analysis was established and validated according to regulatory guidelines.

The magnetic field effect on the coherence time of qubit in RbCl crystal quantum pseudodot

In an external z-direction magnetic field, the coherence property of qubit in RbCl crystal quantum pseudodot (QPD) is discussed. The coherence time of QPD qubit is calculated by using the Pekar type variational method and the Fermi Golden Rule. It is analytically derived that the coherence time versus the cyclotron frequency of the magnetic field and the QPD parameters (the chemical potential of the two-dimensional electron gas, the zero point of pseudoharmonic potential, and the polaron radius) in QPD system. According to the results, it is found that the parameters and the magnetic field adjusts the coherence time of the qubit in the RbCl crystal QPD.

Multi-Physics Coupling to Model a RbCl-RbCl-Ga Target Stack

A computational model has been developed to simulate the performance of the Los Alamos Isotope Production Facility's (IPF) routine production target configuration, which consists of two Inconel-encapsulated RbCl salt targets and one niobium-encapsulated gallium target separated by water cooling channels. The methodology involves iteratively coupling particle transport and thermal hydraulic codes to determine the time dependent behavior of the target. Phase and density changes seen in targets are known to impact beam penetration and distribution. In addition, evidence of energy distributions seen in experimental radionuclide yield measurements at IPF do not match those seen in previous MCNP predictions. Density reduction as a result of heat deposition affects proton energy loss along the particle's track, impacting both radionuclide yields and target design. Accurate modeling of the thermal behavior of these multi-phase targets and the corresponding impact on beam behavior will significantly improve our understanding of incident and exit proton energy distributions and resulting radionuclide yields in downstream targets. Thermal hydraulic modeling, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer, was performed with ANSYS CFX while particle transport was performed with the Monte Carlo N-Particle code (MCNP).

Optically isotropy in scintillator host compounds M{sub 2}LaCl{sub 5} (M=Rb, and Cs): Ab-initio study

Full potential linearized augmented plane wave method (FP-LAPW) has been used to calculate the electronic structure and optical properties of high light output scintillator host compounds M{sub 2}LaCl{sub 5} (M=Rb, and Cs) with in the Tran Blaha modified Becke Johnson (TB-mBJ) potential. These are wide band gap materials with the band gap of 4.75, and 4.72 eV for Rb{sub 2}LaCl{sub 5}, and Cs{sub 2}LaCl{sub 5} respectively. From the calculated optical properties of these compounds, we find these compounds to be optically isotropic, though they are structurally anisotropic, which is an important criteria for the ceramic scintillators.

Bentonite-Clay Waste Form for the Immobilization of Cesium and Strontium from Fuel Processing Waste Streams

The physical properties of a surrogate waste form containing cesium, strontium, rubidium, and barium sintered into bentonite clay were evaluated for several simulant feed streams: chlorinated cobalt dicarbollide/polyethylene glycol (CCD-PEG) strip solution, nitrate salt, and chloride salt feeds. We sintered bentonite clay samples with a loading of 30 mass% of cesium, strontium, rubidium, and barium to a density of approximately 3 g/cm 3 . Sintering temperatures of up to 1000°C did not result in volatility of cesium. Instead, there was an increase in crystallinity of the waste form upon sintering to 1000ºC for chloride- and nitrate-salt loaded clays. The nitrate salt feed produced various cesium pollucite phases, while the chloride salt feed did not produce these familiar phases. In fact, many of the x-ray diffraction peaks could not be matched to known phases. Assemblages of silicates were formed that incorporated the Sr, Rb, and Ba ions. Gas evolution during sintering to 1000°C was significant (35% weight loss for the CCD-PEG waste-loaded clay), with significant water being evolved at approximately 600°C.

Highly Efficient Pure‐Blue Light‐Emitting Diodes Based on Rubidium and Chlorine Alloyed Metal Halide Perovskite

Abstract Perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are promising candidates for display and solid‐state lighting, due to their tunable colors, high conversion efficiencies, and low cost. However, the performance of blue PeLEDs is far inferior to that of the near‐infrared, red, and green counterparts. Here, the fabrication of pure‐blue PeLEDs with an emission peak at 475 nm, a peak external quantum efficiency of 10.1%, and a maximum luminance of 14 000 cd m −2 is demonstrated by tailoring the compositions of perovskites. The pure‐blue electroluminescence is achieved by simultaneous addition of rubidium and chlorine ions into CsPbBr 3 and incorporation of phenylethylammonium chloride forms quasi‐2D hybrid perovskites. The combination of these composition engineering results in blueshifted emissions without reducing the quantum yield. The judicious alloying is shown to be critical to result in the better morphology with suppressed current leakage and enhanced light outcoupling.

Cation ordering and effect of biaxial strain in double perovskite CsRbCaZnCl{sub 6}

Here, we investigate the electronic structure, energetics of cation ordering, and effect of biaxial strain on double perovskite CsRbCaZnCl{sub 6} using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The two constituents (i.e., CsCaCl{sub 3} and RbZnCl{sub 3}) forming the double perovskite exhibit a stark contrast. While CsCaCl{sub 3} is known to exist in a cubic perovskite structure and does not show any epitaxial strain induced phase transitions within an experimentally accessible range of compressive strains, RbZnCl{sub 3} is thermodynamically unstable in the perovskite phase and exhibits ultra-sensitive response at small epitaxial strains if constrained in the perovskite phase. We show that combining the two compositions in a double perovskite structure not only improves overall stability but also the strain-polarization coupling of the material. Our calculations predict a ground state with P4/nmm space group for the double perovskite, where A-site cations (i.e., Cs and Rb) are layer-ordered and B-site cations (i.e., Ca and Zn) prefer a rocksalt type ordering. The electronic structure and bandgap in this system are shown to be quite sensitive to the B-site cation ordering and is minimally affected by the ordering of A-site cations. We find that at experimentally accessible compressive strains CsRbCaZnCl{sub 6} can be phase transformed from its paraelectric ground state to an antiferroelectric state, where Zn atoms contribute predominantly to the polarization. Furthermore, both energy difference and activation barrier for a transformation between this antiferroelectric state and the corresponding ferroelectric configuration are predicted to be small. The computational approach presented here opens a new pathway towards a rational design of novel double perovskites with improved strain response and functionalities.

First-principles study on the bulk and (1 1 1) surface half-metallicity of KS and RbS in CsCl structure

Graphical abstract: Spin-polarized total and atomic DOS at S-(1 1 1) terminated slab and bulk in CsCl-type RbS. - Highlights: • The half metallic properties of CsCl-type RbS and KS have been studied. • The RbS's and KS's (1 1 1) slabs have been investigated. • Surface energy of RbS's and KS's (1 1 1) slabs are calculated. - Abstract: The electronic and magnetic properties of RbS and KS in CsCl structure have been investigated by using the full-potential local-orbital minimum-basis method. Calculating the relation between the total energies and lattice parameters for RbS and KS, we find out that the equilibrium lattice parameters are 4.02 Å and 3.84 Å for RbS and KS, respectively. According to our calculations in generalized gradient approximation approximation, both RbS and KS are half-metallic ferromagnets with the magnetic moments of 1 μ{sub B} per formula unit, and band gap of 4.287 eV for RbS and 4.395 eV for KS. We also have studied the electronic and magnetic properties of (1 1 1) surfaces of RbS and KS, and have found out that the half-metallicity of their bulk is preserved in all of those surfaces. Finally, through the calculations of formation energy of RbS and KS, it is found that their thin films are stable in the equilibrium conditions, and the Rb-terminated (1 1 1) slab of RbS and the K-terminated (1 1 1) slab of KS are more stable than their S-terminated (1 1 1) slabs. All of the above properties lead the compounds of RbS and KS in CsCl structure to be promising candidates for spintronic applications.
