摘要：

铕掺杂钒酸钇(YVO₄: Eu³⁺)作为常用的下转换发光材料一直受到广泛的关注和研究, 但是YVO₄: Eu³⁺的表面缺陷会严重影响材料的发光效率。为了进一步改善YVO₄: Eu³⁺纳米粉体材料的粒度分布和形貌特点, 在亚微米级别的SiO₂微球表面涂覆一层YVO₄: Eu³⁺, 制成YVO₄: Eu³⁺@SiO₂核-壳结构, 得到单分散的球形YVO₄: Eu³⁺下转换发光材料, 实现YVO₄: Eu³⁺的发光性能和SiO₂球形特性的有机结合。研究发现, 当壳核比为0.6时, YVO₄: Eu³⁺@SiO₂核-壳结构材料的发光强度可达到纯纳米粉体材料发光强度的90%以上。将改性后的YVO₄: Eu³⁺@SiO₂核-壳结构材料涂覆在硅基薄膜太阳电池上, 可使电池的短路电流密度和转化效率分别由6.694 mA/cm²和9.40%提升至8.417 mA/cm²和10.15%, 增益效果较为明显。实验结果表明, 采用溶液法制备的YVO₄: Eu³⁺@SiO₂纳米粉体材料由于具有形貌规则、团聚小和尺寸分布均匀等特点, 可用作硅基薄膜太阳电池下转换发光层材料。

Abstract:

Europium ions doped yttrium vanadate (YVO₄: Eu³⁺) has excellent emission properties for down-conversion applications. However, the serious surface defects of YVO₄: Eu³⁺ hinder the improvement of luminescent efficiency. In order to improve the particle size distribution and morphology of YVO₄: Eu³⁺ nano-powders, mono-dispersed spherical YVO₄: Eu³⁺@SiO₂ core-shell structure materials were prepared by coating a layer of YVO₄: Eu³⁺onto the surface of SiO₂ microspheres. With the shell-core ratio setting as 0.6, the luminescence intensity of YVO₄: Eu³⁺@SiO₂core-shell structure composite could reach up to more than 90% of pure YVO₄: Eu³⁺ nano-powder. Furthermore, the prepared YVO₄: Eu³⁺@SiO₂ core-shell structure films were used as down-conversion materials for amorphous silicon thin film solar cells. The cell parameters such as short current density and photoelectric conversion efficiency increased from original 6.694 mA/cm² and 9.40% to 8.417 mA/cm² and 10.15%, respectively. Thus YVO₄: Eu³⁺@SiO₂ core-shell configuration can be fabricated from YVO₄: Eu³⁺ and SiO₂ microsphere to avoid agglomeration. The prepared YVO₄: Eu³⁺@SiO₂ core-shell structures have regular morphology and uniform particle sizes, which are suitable to be used as down-conversion light emitting layer in amorphous silicon solar cells.
