Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Visual Object Tracking Segmentation VOTS2023 challenge is the eleventh annual tracker benchmarking activity of the VOT initiative. This challenge is the first to merge short-term and long-term as well as single-target and multiple-target tracking with segmentation masks as the only target location specification. A new dataset was created; the ground truth has been withheld to prevent overfitting. New performance measures and evaluation protocols have been created along with a new toolkit and an evaluation server. Results of the presented 47 trackers indicate that modern tracking frameworks are well-suited to deal with convergence of short-term and long-term tracking and that multiple and single target tracking can be considered a single problem. A leaderboard, with participating trackers details, the source code, the datasets, and the evaluation kit are publicly available at the challenge website1

Polymer synergy for efficient hole transport in solar cells and photodetectors
- 2023

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Hole transport materials (HTMs) have greatly advanced the progress of solution-based electronic devices in the past few years. Nevertheless, most devices employing dopant-free organic HTMs can only deliver inferior performance. In this work, we introduced a novel "polymer synergy" strategy to develop versatile dopant-free polymer HTMs for quantum dot/perovskite solar cells and photodetectors. With this synergy strategy, the optical, electrical and aggregation properties of polymer HTMs can be modulated, resulting in complementary absorption, high hole mobility, favorable energy landscape and moderate aggregation. Moreover, a clear orientational transition was observed for the developed HTMs with a 9-fold increase in the face-on/edge-on ratio, providing a highway-like carrier transport for electronic devices, as revealed by in situ characterization and ultrafast transient absorption. With these benefits, the photovoltaic and photodetection performance of quantum dot devices were boosted from 11.8% to 13.5% and from 2.95 x 10(12) to 3.41 x 10(13) Jones (over a 10-fold increase), respectively. Furthermore, the developed polymer HTMs can also significantly enhance the photovoltaic and photodetection performance of perovskite devices from 15.1% to 22.7% and from 2.7 x 10(12) to 2.17 x 10(13)Jones with the same device structure, indicating their great application potential in the emerging optoelectronics.

Systematic study on size and temporal dependence of micro-LED arrays for display applications
- 2023

In: Photonics Research. - 2327-9125. ; 11:4, s. 549-557
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Micro-LEDs are one of the most promising candidates for next-generation displays, yet they are inconvenienced by the efficiency reduction induced by the sidewall defects when pursuing further scaled-down device dimensions. We have systematically investigated both the size and temporal dependence of micro-LEDs. Micro-LED arrays with a mesa size ranging from 7 to 100 μm were prepared for display purposes. The luminance and external quantum efficiency (EQE) were measured and discussed. Surprisingly, micro-LED arrays with a smaller mesa size exhibit a higher EQE under 100 ns pulse duration operation when compared with longer pulse duration operations. Under certain short-pulsed excitation, a 7 × 7 μm2 micro-LED array even exhibits a >20% higher EQE as compared to the direct current (DC) or the long duration pulse operation condition.We thus concluded that the notorious efficiency reduction induced by sidewall defects in small-sized micro-LED arrays could be significantly reduced by applying short-pulse voltages.

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- As an emerging multivalent-ion-based energy storage device, aqueous zinc-ion capacitors (AZICs) combine the merits of zinc-ion batteries with high energy density, excellent safety, low cost and environmental friendliness, and the advantages of supercapacitors with high power density and superior cycling performance. Therefore, AZICs have been considered as a new promising electrochemical energy storage system. Though great progress of AZICs has been made recently, they are still in the infant stage and face many challenges. Specially, the unsatisfactory energy density needs to be improved to realize their practical applications, which calls for high-capacity cathode materials. In this review, after a brief introduction of progress and mechanism for AZICs, we provide a systematical overview of the latest advances in the state-of-art cathode materials. The synthesis route, structure and morphology, electrochemical performance, energy storage mechanism as well as the merits and drawbacks of various cathode materials are comprehensively compared and discussed. Finally, a summary and outlook of the challenges and future perspectives of AZICs were presented. With these, this review might offer some guidance for the future design of dedicated novel cathode materials to realize the great potential of AZICs.

Synthesis and characterization of silica nanotubes with radially oriented mesopores
- 2008
-
In: Advanced Functional Materials. - : Wiley. - 1616-301X .- 1616-3028. ; 18, s. 541-550
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Hierarchical silica nanotubes with radially oriented mesoporous channels perpendicular to the central axis of the tube were synthesized by using self-assembled chiral anionic surfactant, co-structure directing agent (CSDA) and silica precursor. The average inner diameter and the wall thickness were similar to 94, similar to 62, and similar to 62 nm and to similar to 27, similar to 33, and similar to 45 nm, respectively, by manipulating the synthesis gel composition, while the diameter of the wall mesopofes was kept constant at similar to 4 nm. These materials with such a unique structure were produced only with chiral surfactant and achiral or racemic surfactant did not give rise to mesoporous silica nanotubes. The existence of helicity in the lipid bilayer template was confirmed by means of circular dichroism spectroscopy. The mesoporous penetrating from outside to inside of silica nanotubes are thought to originate from the initial formation of self-assembled lipid tubes with helical bilayers, which in turn re-assemble to form the mesopores in the wall of the nanotubes upon addition of co-structure directing agent and silica source.

Efficient non-fullerene organic solar cells employing sequentially deposited donor-acceptor layers
- 2018
-
In: Journal of Materials Chemistry A. - : ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY. - 2050-7488 .- 2050-7496. ; 6:37, s. 18225-18233

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) have recently outperformed their fullerene counterparts in binary bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs). Further development of NFA OSCs may benefit other novel OSC device structures that alter or extend the standard BHJ concept. Here, we report such a new processing route that forms a BHJ-like morphology between sequentially processed polymer donor and NFA with high power conversion efficiencies in excess of 10%. Both devices show similar charge generation and recombination behaviours, supporting formation of similar BHJ active layers. We correlate the approximate to 30 meV smaller open-circuit voltage in sq-BHJ devices to more substantial non-radiative recombination by voltage loss analysis. We also determine the exciton diffusion length of benchmark polymer PBDB-T to be 10 +/- 3 nm. Our results demonstrate high-efficiency OSC devices using sequential deposition method and provide new opportunities to further improve performance of state-of-the-art OSCs.
