SPME-GC-MS combined with PCA may be a useful method for monitoring the volatile profile characteristics of turbot during storage, which could be potentially used for freshness evaluation.
High-temperature photovoltaics (PV) for terrestrial and extraterrestrial applications have presented demanding challenges for current solar cell materials, such as Si, III−V AlGaInP, and II−VI. Widebandgap III-nitride materials, in contrast, offer several intrinsic advantages that make them extremely appealing for high-temperature applications. In this study, we fabricated and characterized III-nitride solar cells using polarization-free (i.e., nonpolar) InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs). The InGaN solar cells showed a large working temperature range from room temperature (RT) to 450 °C, with positive temperature coefficients up to 350 °C. The peak external quantum efficiencies of the devices showed a 2.5-fold enhancement from RT (∼32%) to 450 °C (∼81%), which is distinct from all other solar cells ever reported. This can be partially attributed to an increase of over 70% in carrier lifetime in nonpolar InGaN MQWs obtained from time-resolved photoluminescence. Furthermore, a thermal radiation analysis revealed a unique self-cooling effect for III-nitride materials, which also helps enhance device performance at high temperature. These results offer new insights and strategies for the design and fabrication of highefficiency high-temperature PV cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
