Understanding the interactions between catalyst and electrolyte in Li-O2 systems is crucial to improving capacities, efficiencies, and cycle life. In this study, supported noble metal catalysts Pt/C, Pd/C, and Au/C were paired with popular Li-O2 electrolyte solvents dimethoxyethane (DME), tetraglyme (TEGDME), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The effects of these combinations on stability, kinetics, and activity were assessed. We show evidence of a synergistic effect between Pt and Pd catalysts and a DMSO-based electrolyte which enhances the kinetics of oxygen reduction and evolution reactions. DME and TEGDME are more prone to decomposition and less kinetically favorable for oxygen reduction and evolution than DMSO. While the order of oxygen reduction onset potentials with each catalyst was found to be consistent across electrolyte (Pd \> Pt \> Au), larger overpotentials with DME and TEGDME, and negative shifts in onset after only five cycles favor the stability of a DMSO electrolyte. Full cell cycling experiments confirm that catalyst-DMSO combinations produce up to 9 times higher discharge capacities than the same with TEGDME after 20 cycles ( approximately 707.4 vs. 78.8 mA h g(-1) with Pd/C). Ex situ EDS and in situ EIS analyses of resistive species in the cathode suggest that improvements in capacity with DMSO are due to a combination of greater electrolyte conductivity and catalyst synergies. Our findings demonstrate that co-selection of catalyst and electrolyte is necessary to exploit chemical synergies and improve the performance of Li-O2 cells.

There is considerable interest in the controlled p-type and n-type doping of carbon nanotubes (CNT) for use in a range of important electronics applications, including the development of hybrid CNT/silicon (Si) photovoltaic devices. Here, we demonstrate that easy to handle metallocenes and related complexes can be used to both p-type and n-type dope single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) thin films, using a simple spin coating process. We report n-SWNT/p-Si photovoltaic devices that are \>450 times more efficient than the best solar cells of this type currently reported and show that the performance of both our n-SWNT/p-Si and p-SWNT/n-Si devices is related to the doping level of the SWNT. Furthermore, we establish that the electronic structure of the metallocene or related molecule can be correlated to the doping level of the SWNT, which may provide the foundation for controlled doping of SWNT thin films in the future.

Oxygen removal from SWNTs is crucial for many carbon electronic devices. This work shows that HF treatment followed by current stimulation is a very effective method for oxygen removal. Using a procedure involving HF treatment, current stimulation and spin-casting AgNWs onto a SWNT thin film, record high efficiency SWNT/p-Si solar cells have been developed.

Carrier transport characteristics in high-efficiency single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs)/silicon (Si) hybrid solar cells are presented. The solar cells were fabricated by depositing intrinsic p-type SWNT thin-films on n-type Si wafers without involving any high-temperature process for p-n junction formation. The optimized cells showed a device ideality factor close to unity and a record-high power-conversion-efficiency of \>11\%. By investigating the dark forward current density characteristics with varying temperature, we have identified that the temperature-dependent current rectification originates from the thermally activated band-to-band transition of carriers in Si, and the role of the SWNT thin films is to establish a built-in potential for carrier separation/collection. We have also established that the dominant carrier transport mechanism is diffusion, with minimal interface recombination. This is further supported by the observation of a long minority carrier lifetime of ~34 mus, determined by the transient recovery method. This study suggests that these hybrid solar cells operate in the same manner as single crystalline p-n homojunction Si solar cells.

The versatile layer-by-layer assembly technique allows greater control over film deposition, but even this has been hampered by the traditional dip-coating method. Here, we employ a fully automated spin-spray layer-by-layer system (SSLbL) to rapidly produce high-quality, tunable multilayer films. With bilayer deposition cycle times as low as 13 s (~50\% of previously reported) and thorough characterization of film conductance in the near percolation region, we show that SSLbL permits nanolevel control over film growth and efficient formation of a conducting network not available with other methods of multilayer deposition. The multitude of variables from spray time, to spin rate, to active drying available with SSLbL makes films generated by this technique inherently more tunable and expands the opportunity for optimization and application of composite multilayers. A comparison of several polymer-CNT systems deposited by both spin-spray and dip-coating exemplifies the potential of SSLbL assembly to allow for rapid screening of multilayer films. Ultrathin polymer-CNT multilayers assembled by SSLbL were also evaluated as lithium-ion battery electrodes, emphasizing the practical application of this technique.}, isbn = {1936-086X (Electronic)

Selected polymers are infiltrated into a Mayer rod coated conductive SWNT network to fabricate solar cell transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs), fuel cell membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs), and lithium ion battery electrodes. Our TCEs have an outstanding optoelectronic figure of merit sigma(dc)/sigma(ac) of 19.4 and roughness of 3.8 nm yet are also mechanically robust enough to withstand delamination, a step toward scratch resistance necessary for flexible electronics. Our MEAs show platinum utilization as high as 1550 mW/mg(Pt), demonstrating our technique{\textquoteright}s ability to integrate ionic conductivity of the polymer with electrical conductivity of the SWNTs at the Pt surface. Our battery anodes, which show reversible capacity of approximately 850 mAh/g after 15 cycles, demonstrate the integration of electrode and separator to simplify device architecture and decrease overall weight. Each of these applications demonstrates our technique{\textquoteright}s ability to maintain the conductivity of SWNT networks and their dispersion within a polymer matrix while concurrently optimizing key complementary properties of the composite. Here, we lay the foundation for the assembly of nanotubes and nanostructured components (rods, wires, particles, etc.) into macroscopic multifunctional materials using a low-cost and scalable solution-based processing technique.}, isbn = {1936-086X (Electronic)
