Abstract

The fabrication of graphene-silicon (Gr-Si) junction inolves the formation of a parallel metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure, which is often disregarded but plays an important role in the optoelectronic properties of the device. In this work, the transfer of graphene onto a patterned n-type Si substrate, covered by $Si_3N_4$, produces a Gr-Si device in which the parallel MIS consists of a $Gr-Si_3N_4-Si$ structure surrounding the Gr-Si junction. The Gr-Si device exhibits rectifying behavior with a rectification ratio up to $10^4$. The investigation of its temperature behavior is necessary to accurately estimate the Schottky barrier height at zero bias, ${\phi}_{b0}=0.24 eV$, the effective Richardson's constant, $A^*=7 \cdot 10^{-10} AK^{-2}cm^{-2}$, and the diode ideality factor n=2.66 of the Gr-Si junction. The device is operated as a photodetector in both photocurrent and photovoltage mode in the visible and infrared (IR) spectral regions. A responsivity up to 350 mA/W and external quantum efficiency (EQE) up to 75% is achieved in the 500-1200 nm wavelength range. A decrease of responsivity to 0.4 mA/W and EQE to 0.03% is observed above 1200 nm, that is in the IR region beyond the silicon optical bandgap, in which photoexcitation is driven by graphene. Finally, a model based on two back-to-back diodes, one for the Gr-Si junction. the other for the $Gr-Si_3N_4-Si$ MIS structure, is proposed to explain the electrical behavior of the Gr-Si device.

Abstract

It is common to use efficient catalysts in the anodes and cathodes of methanol and ethanol fuel cells, such as platinum and ruthenium. However, due to their expansivity and rarity, finding a suitable alternative is important. In this work, multi-component catalysts consisting of tungsten oxide, nickel cobaltite, and activated carbon were synthesized through the hydrothermal method. The performance of catalysts in the processes of methanol and ethanol oxidation reactions (MOR and EOR) were investigated. The addition of activated carbon obtained from wheat husk, with an excellent active surface and acceptable electrical conductivity, to the matrix of the catalyst significantly facilitated the oxidation process of alcohols and enhanced the efficiency of the catalyst. The physical and electrochemical characterization of the NiCo2O4/WO3 hybridized with the wheat husk-derived activated carbon (ACWH) catalyst indicated its successful synthesis and good performance in the alcohol oxidation process. NiCo2O4/WO3/ACWH with an oxidation current density of 63.39 mA/cm2 at the peak potential of 0.58 V (1.59 vs. RHE), a cyclic stability of 98.6% in the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and 27.98 mA/cm2 at the peak potential of 0.67 V (1.68 vs. RHE), and a cyclic stability of 95.7% in the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) process can be an interesting option for application in the anodes of alcohol fuel cells.
