Abstract Both theoretical and experimental studies are briefly discussed to shed lights on crystal shape, FT-IR, electronic, and non-linear Opto-response (NLO) characteristics of ethyl4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (MTTHPC). Theoretical FT_IR results are in a proper concord with recorded measurements. MTTHPC has TDM (4.78 Debye) and a doublet spins that splits original FMOs into \(alpha(\uparrow , 2.44\text{e}\text{V})\) and \(beta\)(↓,1.28eV) offsets, respectively. MTTHPC is a potential competitor for finest perovskite solar cells (MAPbI3/Au-nanospheres) that possess a band offset (\(3.1eV\)) with conversion-efficiency 24.84%. MTTHPC may be the next chapter for unique avalanche photodetectors (APD). MTTHPC 1st order hyperpolarizability is \(14.15* {10}^{-30 }esu\), surpass reference urea \((\approx 40{\beta }_{urea},\) \({\beta }_{urea}= 0.3728* {10}^{-30} esu\)). Briefly, MTTHPC may be admitted as the next stage in forthcoming NLO technology.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) has been regarded as a promising electron transport layer (ETL) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) owing to its high electron mobility. However, the acid-nonresistance of ZnO could destroy organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskite such as methylammonium lead triiodide (MAPbI3) in PSCs, resulting in poor power conversion efficiency (PCE). It is demonstrated in this work that Nb2O5/ZnO films were deposited at room temperature with RF magnetron sputtering and were successfully used as double electron transport layers (DETL) in PSCs due to the energy band matching between Nb2O5 and MAPbI3 as well as ZnO. In addition, the insertion of Nb2O5 between ZnO and MAPbI3 facilitated the stability of the perovskite film. A systematic investigation of the ZnO deposition time on the PCE has been carried out. A deposition time of five minutes achieved a ZnO layer in the PSCs with the highest power conversion efficiency of up to 13.8%. This excellent photovoltaic property was caused by the excellent light absorption property of the high-quality perovskite film and a fast electron extraction at the perovskite/DETL interface.

The metal complexes ( (phen)2(phendione))(PF6)2(1), [ (phen)(bpy)(phendione))(PF6)2(2), and ( (bpy)2(phendione))(PF6)2(3) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine and phendione = 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione) have been synthesized as photo sensitizers for ZnO semiconductor in solar cells. FT-IR and absorption spectra showed the favorable interfacial binding between the dye-molecules and ZnO surface. The surface analysis and size of adsorbed dye on nanostructure ZnO were further examined with AFM and SEM. The AFM images clearly show both, the outgrowth of the complexes which are adsorbed on ZnO thin film and the depression of ZnO thin film. We have studied photovoltaic properties of dye-sensitized nanocrystalline semiconductor solar cells based on Ru phendione complexes, which gave power conversion efficiency of (η) of 1.54% under the standard AM 1.5 irradiation (100 mW cm−2) with a short-circuit photocurrent density () of 3.42 mA cm−2, an open-circuit photovoltage () of 0.622 V, and a fill factor (ff) of 0.72. Monochromatic incident photon to current conversion efficiency was 38% at 485 nm.
