A Dutch-Australian research team has developed a 1 cm3 luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) device, equipped with 20%-efficient bifacial silicon PV cells, which can be used and assembled in several ...
Reabsorption losses have long been holding back the commercial viability of luminescent solar concentrators. Now, non-toxic silicon-based quantum dots with enhanced Stokes shift may enable the ...
(Nanowerk News) In a paper for the journal Nature Energy ("Doctor-blade deposition of quantum dots onto standard window glass for low-loss large-area luminescent solar concentrators"), a Los Alamos ...
