The absorption performance in the BiFeO$_3$/TiO$_2$ bilayer film prepared by simple sol-gel method has been significantly improved in the ultraviolet and visible-light region, comparing with BiFeO$_3$ and TiO$_2$ films. Terahertz-radiation…

We present a guide for the design and fabrication of a CMOS-compatible metamaterial microstructure as an absorber of visible light with exceptionally high absorption efficiency (~ 98%), for wavelengths 400nm-700nm. The structural parameters…

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted a great deal of attention as potential low-cost energy storage alternatives to Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the intrinsic safety and great abundance of sodium on Earth. For developing…

Regio-regular poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (rr-P3HT), the work-horse of organic photovoltaics, has been recently exploited in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) configuration with phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) for solution-processed…

It is known that silicon is an indirect band gap material, reducing its efficiency in photovoltaic applications. Using surface plasmons in metallic nanoparticles embedded in a solar cell has recently been proposed as a way to increase the…

We have investigated the optoelectronic and thermoelectric properties of hexagonal antiperovskites Ba$_3$DN (D = Sb, Bi) using DFT calculations. The calculated equilibrium lattice parameters of both compounds are in good agreement with the…

Power-conversion efficiency is a critical factor for the wider adoption of solar-cell modules. Thin-film solar cells are cheap and easy to manufacture, but their efficiencies are low compared to crystalline-silicon solar cells and need to…

Ag(I)-Bi(III)-based semiconductors have gained substantial attention as nontoxic, stable alternatives to lead-halide perovskites for optoelectronics, but are widely limited by carrier localization, which severely restricts diffusion…

Organic solar cells (OSCs) containing an active layer consisting of a nanostructured blend of a conjugated polymer like poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and an electron acceptor molecule have the potential of competing against silicon-based…

The use of eco-friendly materials for the environment has been addressed as a critical issue in the development of systems for renewable energy applications. In this regard, the investigation of organic photovoltaic (OPV) molecules for the…

We report first-principles calculations, within density functional theory, on the lead halide compounds PbCl2, PbBr2, and CH3NH3PbBr3-xClx, taking into account spin-orbit coupling. We show that, when the modified Becke-Johnson exchange…

Topological insulators are novel quantum materials with metallic surface transport, but insulating bulk behavior. Often, topological insulators are dominated by bulk contributions due to defect induced bulk carriers, making it difficult to…

We calculate from first principles the O1s core-level shifts for a variety of atomistic models of the interface between TiO2 and the dye N3 found in dye-sensitized solar cells. A systematic comparison between our calculations and published…

Here, the structural, electronic and optical properties of the GaP1-xSbx/Si tandem materials association are determined in view of its use for solar water splitting applications. The GaPSb crystalline layer is grown on Si by Molecular Beam…

We demonstrate the selective control of the magnetic response and photoluminescence properties of Er3+ centers with light, by associating them with a highly conjugated beta-diketonate (1,3-di(2-naphthyl)-1,3-propanedione) ligand. We…

Boron subphthalocyanine chloride is an electron donor material used in small molecule organic photovoltaics with an unusually large molecular dipole moment. Using first-principles calculations, we investigate enhancing the electronic and…

We theoretically investigate an exciton transfer process in a donor domain of organic photovoltaic cells focusing on the roles of local and nonlocal electron-phonon interactions. Our model consists of a three-level system described by the…

High degree of fluorination for ether electrolytes has resulted in improved cycling stability of lithium metal batteries (LMBs) due to stable SEI formation and good oxidative stability. However, the sluggish ion transport and environmental…

The aim of the study is to develop ultra-compact structures enabling an efficient conversion of single high energy photon (UV) to two lower energy photons (IR). The proposed structure combines rare-earths doped thin layer allowing the…

Due to the photo-instability and hysteresis of TiO$_2$ electron transport layer (ETL) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), novel electron transport materials are highly demanded. Here, we show ideal band alignment between La-doped BaSnO$_3$…
