Interface dipole evolution from the hybrid coupling between nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots and polyethylenimine featuring the electron transport thin layer at Al/Si interfaces by Sasimontra Timjan, Ta-Cheng Wei, Kuan-Han Lin, Yi-Ting Li, Po-Hsuan Hsiao, Chia-Yun Chen

“…The aspects of microstructures, functional groups, chemical features, interfacial characteristics and band structures of NCQD/PEI are explicated, visualizing that the evolution of interface dipoles mediated by the overall outcome of physisorption and chemisorption effects, modifies the surface potential difference and results in the explicit reduction of the Al work function from 4.3 eV for pristine Al to 3.23 eV based on the optimized constitutional design (0.10 % NCQD in PEI). These findings are practically employed on the Si-based hybrid solar cells at Si/Al interfaces, fulfilling the conversion-efficiency improvement by 30.9 % compared with reference cells without ETL employment, which are experimentally interpreted by the efficient electron transport across the Si/Al heterojunction and charge collection.…”
