    Abstract We report a simple and general solution-based methodology to support reduced graphene oxide layers (rGO) onto micro-spikes engraved on Si to produce high-aspect ratio wrinkles and sharp protrusions. It is observed that as the number of deposited rGO layers is increased the wrinkle density progressively increases complemented by a remarkable folding of graphene sheets at the vicinity of the spike tips. Highly efficient and stable field emission with low turn-on fields was observed, attributed to the local enhancement of the electric field at the wrinkled rGO protrusions. The ability to produce wrinkled graphene from solution could allow large area deposition providing prospects for the development of practical electron sources and advanced devices based on graphene oxide field emitters. The contribution of this hierarchical, hybrid film morphology is evaluated and discussed.

    Abstract High efficient organolead trihalide perovskite solar cells typically utilize high temperature processed TiO₂ as the electron transporting layer (ETL). A new method for the preparation of low temperature processed amorphous TiO₂ as the ETL in planar perovskite solar cells is demonstrated. The proposed technique allowed the entire fabrication of perovskite solar cells with power conversion efficiencies as high as 13.7%, to take place at temperatures lower than 150 °C. We revealed that the source of device efficiency lies in the fast and balanced charge transport within the selective contacts as well as the effective charge extraction from the perovskite.

    Abstract The effective utilization of work-function (WF) tuned solution processable graphene-based derivatives as both hole and electron transport layers in organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices is demonstrated. The systematic tuning of the functionalized graphene oxide (GO) WF took place by either photochlorination for WF increase, or lithium neutralization for WF decrease. In this way, the WF of the photochlorinated GO layer was perfectly matched with the HOMO level of two different polymer donors, enabling excellent hole transport. Meanwhile the WF of the lithium functionalized GO was perfectly matched with the LUMO level of the fullerene acceptor, enabling excellent electron transport. The utilization of these graphene-based hole and electron transport layers in PTB7:PC71BM active layer devices led to ∼19% enhancement in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) compared to that of the reference graphene free device, resulting in the highest reported PCE for graphene-based buffer layer OPVs of 9.14%. The proposed techniques open new paths towards novel material and interface engineering approaches for a wide range of new applications, including flexible electronic devices, OPVs, perovskite solar cells, organic light emitting diodes, and photosensors, as well as traditional electronic devices.

    Abstract A facile, fast, non-destructive and roll-to-roll compatible photochemical method for simultaneous partial reduction and doping of graphene oxide (GO) films through ultraviolet laser irradiation in the presence of a Cl2 precursor gas is demonstrated. The photochemical chlorinated GO-Cl films were fully characterized by XPS and Raman measurements, in which grafting of chloride to the edges and the basal plane of GO was confirmed. By tuning the laser exposure time, it is possible to control the doping and reduction levels and therefore to tailor the work function (WF) of the GO-Cl layers from 4.9 eV to a maximum value of 5.23 eV. These WF values match with the HOMO level of most polymer donors employed in OPV devices. Furthermore, high efficiency poly(2,7-carbazole) derivative (PCDTBT):fullerene derivative (PC71BM) based OPVs with GO-Cl as the hole transporting layer (HTL) were demonstrated with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.56% which is 17.35% and 19.48% higher than that of the pristine GO and PEDOT:PSS based OPV devices, respectively. The performance enhancement was attributed to more efficient hole transportation due to the energy level matching between the GO-Cl and the polymer donor.

    Abstract The dispersion behaviour of graphene oxide (GO) and chemically reduced GO (rGO) has been investigated in a wide range of organic solvents. The effect of the reduction process on the GO solubility in eighteen different solvents was examined and analysed, taking into consideration the solvent polarity, the surface tension and the Hansen and Hildebrand solubility parameters. rGO concentrations up to ∼9 μg/mL in chlorinated solvents were achieved, demonstrating an efficient solubilization strategy, extending the scope for scalable liquid-phase processing of conductive rGO inks for the development of printed flexible electronics.

    Abstract Since the isolation of free standing graphene in 2004, graphene research has experienced a phenomenal growth. Due to its exceptional electronic, optical and mechanical properties, graphene is believed to be the next wonder material for optoelectronics. The enhanced electrical conductivity, combined with its high transparency in the visible and near-infrared regions of the spectrum, enabled graphene to be an ideal low cost indium-tin oxide (ITO) substitute. Solution-processed reduced graphene oxide combines the unique optoelectrical properties of graphene with large area deposition and flexible substrates rendering it compatible with roll-to-roll manufacturing methods. This paper provides an overview of recent research progress in the application and consequent physical-chemical properties of solution-processed reduced graphene oxide-based films as transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) in organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) can be effectively utilized as the TCE in flexible OPVs, where the brittle and expensive ITO is incompatible. The prospects and future research trends in graphene-based TCEs are also discussed.
