Modified vapor phase deposition technology for high-performance uncooled MIR PbSe detectors.

ABSTRACT: The low performance of middle infrared (MIR) PbSe detectors fabricated from vapor phase deposition (VPD) technology restricts the rapid development of VPD technology and detector commercialization. A modified VPD process was proposed to duplicate the microstructural features of high-performance CBD-PbSe detectors for a breakthrough in the VPD technology. A peak detectivity D* of 1.6 × 10¹⁰ cm Hz^1/2 W^-1 at 298 K was achieved under the optimized sensitization, approaching the best performance of CBD-PbSe detectors. Through the contrasting various microstructures obtained from diverse methods, the nanoparticle self-assembly structure in VPD-PbSe oriented rod-like crystals is an important factor for the IR sensitivity. The microstructural evolution demonstrated that there is a large space to grow for VPD-PbSe detectivity D* via eliminating the voids formed in the iodine-sensitization process. The increased performance indicates that the modified VPD technology can provide technical support for the manufacturing of the megapixel uncooled lead-salt FPA imager and accelerate its industrialization.

Data for direct chemical deposition of PbS on chemical vapor deposition grown-graphene for high performance photovoltaic infrared photo-detectors.

Project description:Over the past decades, graphene has attracted much attention from the scientific community due to its broad applications in the optoelectronics industries [1]. Owing to graphene's high transmission and high electrical conductivity, diverse functional materials/graphene hybridized heterostructures and interfaces are under extensive investigation to satisfy the increasing interest in the need for bendable, flexible and high performance optoelectronic devices [2]. Due to the good atomic lattice structure of graphene, varying heterostructures have been formed by depositing different functional materials directly on graphene [3], [4], [5]. We fabricated a vertical photovoltaic type G/PbS/Ti device by making use of the Ti/PbS Schottky junction and discussed the photocurrent transient characteristics. Lead sulfide (PbS) was deposited directly on large area CVD (Chemical vapor deposition) graphene by CBD (Chemical bath deposition). Temperature dependent photocurrent spectra of our G/PbS/Ti photovoltaic devices were measured by a Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) set-up. In this paper, we present the experimental procedures and the raw experimental data for the direct chemical deposition of PbS on CVD-graphene for high performance photovoltaic infrared photo-detectors. The manuscript is already available [6].

Impedance Spectroscopy Analysis of PbSe Nanostructures Deposited by Aerosol Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition Approach.

Project description:This research endeavor aimed to synthesize the lead (II) diphenyldiselenophosphinate complex and its use to obtain lead selenide nanostructured depositions and further the impedance spectroscopic analysis of these obtained PbSe nanostructures, to determine their roles in the electronics industry. The aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition technique was used to provide lead selenide deposition by decomposition of the complex at different temperatures using the glass substrates. The obtained films were revealed to be a pure cubic phase PbSe, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. SEM and TEM micrographs demonstrated three-dimensionally grown interlocked or aggregated nanocubes of the obtained PbSe. Characteristic dielectric measurements and the impedance spectroscopy analysis at room temperature were executed to evaluate PbSe properties over the frequency range of 100 Hz-5 MHz. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss gave similar trends, along with altering frequency, which was well explained by the Koops theory and Maxwell-Wagner theory. The effective short-range translational carrier hopping gave rise to an overdue remarkable increase in ac conductivity (σac) on the frequency increase. Fitting of a complex impedance plot was carried out with an equivalent circuit model (Rg Cg) (Rgb Qgb Cgb), which proved that grains, as well as grain boundaries, are responsible for the relaxation processes. The asymmetric depressed semicircle with the center lower to the impedance real axis provided a clear explanation of non-Debye dielectric behavior.

High Performance Hall Sensors Built on Chemical Vapor Deposition-Grown Bilayer Graphene.

Project description:Graphene has been considered as an excellent channel material for constructing magnetic sensors or Hall elements with high sensitivity and linearity. Compared to intensively reported graphene Hall elements (GHEs) fabricated on monolayer graphene, the exploration on bilayer graphene-based Hall elements is very rare. Here, we first investigate the performance and potential of Hall elements built on chemical vapor deposition-grown bilayer graphene. Without applying any gate voltage, the bilayer GHEs exhibit a typical voltage sensitivity of 119 mV/VT and current sensitivity of 397 V/AT, which are higher than those in the monolayer GHEs, indicating the better performance in practical applications. Moreover, the bilayer GHEs present obviously lower noise and then the minimum detection magnetic field compared to the monolayer ones. Hall elements built on bilayer graphene show certain unique advantages and can be used as an important supplement to mainstreaming monolayer GHEs.

Nitrogen-Doped Mesoporous Carbon Microspheres by Spray Drying-Vapor Deposition for High-Performance Supercapacitor.

Project description:Nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon microspheres have been successfully synthesized via a spray drying-vapor deposition method for the first time, using commercial Ludox silica nanoparticles as hard templates. Compared to freeze-drying and air-drying methods, mesoporous carbon with a higher packing density can be achieved through the spray drying method. Vapor deposition of polypyrrole followed by carbonization and etching is beneficial for the generation of ultra-thin carbon network. The mesoporous carbon microspheres possess a mesopore-dominate (95%) high surface area of 1528 m2 g-1, a wall thickness of 1.8 nm, and a nitrogen content of 8 at% in the framework. Benefiting from the increased apparent density, high mesopore surface area, and considerable nitrogen doping, the resultant mesoporous carbon microspheres show superior gravimetric/volumetric capacitance of 533.6 F g-1 and 208.1 F cm-3, good rate performance and excellent cycling stability in electric double-layer capacitors.

High-Performance UV-Assisted NO2 Sensor Based on Chemical Vapor Deposition Graphene at Room Temperature.

Project description:Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is one of the most dangerous air pollutants that can affect human health even at the ppb (part per billion) level. Thus, the superior sensing performance of nitrogen dioxide gas sensors is an imperative for real-time environmental monitoring. Traditional solid-state sensors based on metal-oxide transistors have the drawbacks of high power consumption, high operating temperature, poor selectivity, and difficult integration with other electronics. In that respect, graphene-based gas sensors have been extensively studied as potential replacements. However, their advantages of high sensing efficiency, low power consumption, and simple electronic integration have been countered by their slow response and poor repeatability. Here, we report the fabrication of high-performance ultraviolet (UV)-assisted room temperature NO2 sensors based on chemical vapor deposition-grown graphene. UV irradiation improves the response of the sensor sevenfold with respect to the dark condition attaining 26% change in resistance at 100 ppm NO2 concentration with a practical detection limit below 1 ppm (42.18 ppb). In addition, the recovery time was shortened fivefold to a few minutes and the excellent repeatability. This work may provide a promising and practical method to mass produce room-temperature NO2 gas sensors for real-time environment monitoring due to its simple fabrication process, low cost, and practicality.

Vacancy-induced dislocations within grains for high-performance PbSe thermoelectrics.

Project description:To minimize the lattice thermal conductivity in thermoelectrics, strategies typically focus on the scattering of low-frequency phonons by interfaces and high-frequency phonons by point defects. In addition, scattering of mid-frequency phonons by dense dislocations, localized at the grain boundaries, has been shown to reduce the lattice thermal conductivity and improve the thermoelectric performance. Here we propose a vacancy engineering strategy to create dense dislocations in the grains. In Pb1-xSb2x/3Se solid solutions, cation vacancies are intentionally introduced, where after thermal annealing the vacancies can annihilate through a number of mechanisms creating the desired dislocations homogeneously distributed within the grains. This leads to a lattice thermal conductivity as low as 0.4?Wm-1?K-1 and a high thermoelectric figure of merit, which can be explained by a dislocation scattering model. The vacancy engineering strategy used here should be equally applicable for solid solution thermoelectrics and provides a strategy for improving zT.

High-Speed Vapor Transport Deposition of Perovskite Thin Films.

Project description:Intensive research of hybrid metal-halide perovskite materials for use as photoactive materials has resulted in an unmatched increase in the power conversion efficiency of perovskite photovoltaics (PVs) over the last couple of years. Now that lab-fabricated perovskite devices rival the efficiency of silicon PVs, the next challenge of scalable mass manufacturing of large perovskite PV panels remains to be solved. For that purpose, it is still unclear which manufacturing method will provide the lowest processing cost and highest quality solar cells. Vapor deposition has been proven to work well for perovskites as a controllable and repeatable thin-film deposition technique but with processing speeds currently too slow to adequately lower the production costs. Addressing this challenge, in the present work, we demonstrate a high-speed vapor transport processing technique in a custom-built reactor that produces high-quality perovskite films with unprecedented deposition speed exceeding 1 nm/s, over 10× faster than previous vapor deposition demonstrations. We show that the semiconducting perovskite films produced with this method have excellent crystallinity and optoelectronic properties with 10 ns charge carrier lifetime, enabling us to fabricate the first photovoltaic devices made by perovskite vapor transport deposition. Our experiments are guided by computational fluid dynamics simulations that also predict that this technique could lead to deposition rates on the order of micrometers per second. This, in turn, could enable cost-effective scalable manufacturing of the perovskite-based solar technologies.

Comparative study of solution-phase and vapor-phase deposition of aminosilanes on silicon dioxide surfaces.

Project description:The uniformity of aminosilane layers typically used for the modification of hydroxyl bearing surfaces such as silicon dioxide is critical for a wide variety of applications, including biosensors. However, in spite of many studies that have been undertaken on surface silanization, there remains a paucity of easy-to-implement deposition methods reproducibly yielding smooth aminosilane monolayers. In this study, solution- and vapor-phase deposition methods for three aminoalkoxysilanes differing in the number of reactive groups (3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES), 3-aminopropyl methyl diethoxysilane (APMDES) and 3-aminopropyl dimethyl ethoxysilane (APDMES)) were assessed with the aim of identifying methods that yield highly uniform and reproducible silane layers that are resistant to minor procedural variations. Silane film quality was characterized based on measured thickness, hydrophilicity and surface roughness. Additionally, hydrolytic stability of the films was assessed via these thickness and contact angle values following desorption in water. We found that two simple solution-phase methods, an aqueous deposition of APTES and a toluene based deposition of APDMES, yielded high quality silane layers that exhibit comparable characteristics to those deposited via vapor-phase methods.

High Thermoelectric Performance of Cu-Doped PbSe-PbS System Enabled by High-Throughput Experimental Screening.

Project description:Recent advances in high-throughput (HTP) computational power and machine learning have led to great achievements in exploration of new thermoelectric materials. However, experimental discovery and optimization of thermoelectric materials have long relied on the traditional Edisonian trial and error approach. Herein, we demonstrate that ultrahigh thermoelectric performance in a Cu-doped PbSe-PbS system can be realized by HTP experimental screening and precise property modulation. Combining the HTP experimental technique with transport model analysis, an optimal Se/S ratio showing high thermoelectric performance has been efficiently screened out. Subsequently, based on the screened Se/S ratio, the doping content of Cu has been subtly adjusted to reach the optimum carrier concentration. As a result, an outstanding peak zT~1.6 is achieved at 873 K for a 1.8 at% Cu-doped PbSe0.6S0.4 sample, which is the superior value among the n-type Te-free lead chalcogenides. We anticipate that current work will stimulate large-scale unitization of the HTP experimental technique in the thermoelectric field, which can greatly accelerate the research and development of new high-performance thermoelectric materials.

Weak electron-phonon coupling contributing to high thermoelectric performance in n-type PbSe.

Project description:PbSe is a surprisingly good thermoelectric material due, in part, to its low thermal conductivity that had been overestimated in earlier measurements. The thermoelectric figure of merit, zT, can exceed 1 at high temperatures in both p-type and n-type PbSe, similar to that found in PbTe. While the p-type lead chalcogenides (PbSe and PbTe) benefit from the high valley degeneracy (12 or more at high temperature) of the valence band, the n-type versions are limited to a valley degeneracy of 4 in the conduction band. Yet the n-type lead chalcogenides achieve a zT nearly as high as the p-type lead chalcogenides. This effect can be attributed to the weaker electron-phonon coupling (lower deformation potential coefficient) in the conduction band as compared with that in the valence band, which leads to higher mobility of electrons compared to that of holes. This study of PbSe illustrates the importance of the deformation potential coefficient of the charge-carrying band as one of several key parameters to consider for band structure engineering and the search for high performance thermoelectric materials.
