Highly efficient tandem luminescent solar concentrators based on eco-friendly copper iodide based hybrid nanoparticles and carbon dots

Jiancang Chen et al.

Summary: Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are seen as promising large-scale sunlight collectors for photovoltaics due to their low cost and applicability to building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). In this study, Cu4I6(pr-ted)(2) nanoparticles with a large Stokes shift and high photoluminescence quantum yield were synthesized and used as luminophores to fabricate LSCs. The tandem LSCs, combined with carbon dots, achieved a higher optical conversion efficiency compared to previous LSCs, demonstrating great potential for high-performance LSCs in BIPV systems.

Boosting efficiency of luminescent solar concentrators using ultra-bright carbon dots with large Stokes shift

Jiurong Li et al.

Summary: Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) have great potential in building-integrated photovoltaics, but the low efficiency caused by reabsorption losses is a critical issue. In this study, yellow emissive carbon dots (CDs) with nearly zero reabsorption were synthesized for high-performance LSCs. The prepared LSCs showed good stability and achieved significantly higher optical and power conversion efficiency compared to previous works.

Modeling and comparison of bulk and thin-film luminescent solar concentrators based on colloidal perovskite quantum dots

Zida Zheng et al.

Summary: This Letter demonstrates and develops a Monte Carlo ray-tracing model and a numerical description for the performance and loss evaluation of photovoltaic integrated luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) based on colloidal quantum dots. The study finds that large-area thin-film LSCs generally perform better than bulk LSCs due to the suppression of scattering and the retention of quantum yield.
