摘要:

铁电光伏材料由于具有高稳定性、环境安全性、高光伏电压和可逆光伏响应等优点而受到广泛关注。然而,FPV具有极低的光电流,这主要是由于它们的宽带隙。在这里,我们提出了一类新的FPV,通过使用六方晶系铁氧体(h-RFeO 3)薄膜具有窄的带隙~1.2 eV,其中R表示稀土离子的开关铁电光伏效应。具有窄带隙的FPV表明其作为光伏和光电子器件的潜在应用。h-RFeO 3薄膜还表现出相当大的铁电极化,这可能会降低光生电子-空穴对的快速复合速率。h-RFeO 3薄膜器件的功率转换效率(PCE)对偏振的大小很敏感。在h-TmFeO 3(h-TFO)薄膜的情况下,测得的PCE是BiFeO 3薄膜(原型FPV)PCE的两倍。我们进一步表明,可切换的光伏效应占主导地位的不可切换的内部场效应所产生的净内置电位。因此,这项工作展示了一种新型的FPV,用于高效太阳能电池和光电应用。

英文摘要:

Ferroelectric photovoltaics (FPVs) have drawn much attention owing to their high stability, environmental safety, anomalously high photovoltages, coupled with reversibly switchable photovoltaic responses. However, FPVs suffer from extremely low photocurrents, which is primarily due to their wide band gaps. Here, we present a new class of FPVs by demonstrating switchable ferroelectric photovoltaic effects using hexagonal ferrite (h-RFeO3) thin films having narrow band gaps of ~1.2 eV, where R denotes rare-earth ions. FPVs with narrow band gaps suggests their potential applicability as photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices. The h-RFeO3 films further exhibit reasonably large ferroelectric polarizations, which possibly reduces a rapid recombination rate of the photo-generated electron-hole pairs. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of h-RFeO3 thin-film devices is sensitive on the magnitude of polarization. In the case of h-TmFeO3 (h-TFO) thin film, the measured PCE is twice as large as that of the BiFeO3 thin film, a prototypic FPV. We have further shown that the switchable photovoltaic effect dominates over the unswitchable internal field effect arising from the net built-in potential. This work thus demonstrates a new class of FPVs towards high-efficiency solar cell and optoelectronic applications.
