     View Summary

    The power generation performance of luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) is decreased by unignorable optical losses including self-absorption of luminescence by the phosphor and optical absorption by the light guide plate. To address the optical loss due to self-absorption, this research focused on the use of core/shell CuInS2 (CIS)/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) with a large Stokes shift. The QDs were dispersed in ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer to fabricate transparent fluorescent nanocomposite films. LSCs were prepared with the nanocomposite films and soda glass plate, a common building material to investigate the effect of optical absorption by the light guide plate on the power generation performance. Synthesized QDs showed yellow emission at 587 nm with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 61.1%, and their large Stokes shift of 0.82 eV reduced self-absorption, making them suitable for LSC applications. We evaluated the effects of QD concentration, film thickness, light guide plate material, and film position on the performance of the LSCs. Optimized performance was observed at a QD concentration of 6.2 wt% and film thickness of 324 μm, showing 1.71-fold higher photocurrent and 3.58-fold larger area of incident photon-to-current efficiency spectrum compared to without film. Replacing soda glass with low-absorption white glass increased power generation by fourfold. This reveals the significant absorption losses of the PL and scattered incident light by soda glass. Despite the considerable optical loss, soda glass is a necessary component in a light guide plate to promote the use of LSCs as building materials. Our findings indicate that QDs with a narrow emission peak at ∼520 nm are required to minimize the absorption loss by soda glass.

     View Summary

    Currently, most carbon dots (CDs) are synthesized from carbon-based materials in autoclaves with high pressure, and then applied in various fields. This work explored the facile synthesis of CDs at atmospheric pressure, which were then purified and embedded in the ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer to form CDs@EVA films and applied in luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) devices. First, crude CDs were synthesized by refluxing p-phenylenediamine (p-PD) in diphenyl ether at 250 °C for 2 h under ambient air conditions, followed by purification using silica gel column chromatography to obtain purified CDs with a photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of 56% and an average particle size of 15.1 ± 4.4 nm. The CDs@EVA films were fabricated at CD concentrations of 0.05 wt%, 0.10 wt%, and 0.15 wt%, and their thickness was varied from ∼100 μm to ∼500 μm. The yellowish-transparent CDs@EVA films exhibited greenish-yellow emission with absorption peaks at 350 nm and 470 nm, corresponding to the n-π* transition of C=N bonds and the π-π* transition between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of π-conjugated electrons. The PL intensity reached its maximum at 0.05 wt% CD concentration and 408 μm thickness due to self-absorption of emission from CDs. According to the current-voltage curve measurements under AM1.5G simulated sunlight, this film exhibited the maximum short-circuit current (Isc) and power conversion efficiency (η) of the LSC device. Additionally, incident photon-to-current efficiency spectrum measurements revealed that the enhanced Isc and η in CDs@EVA films mainly resulted from emission by absorption through the n-π* and π-π* transitions.

     View Summary

    Recently, quantum dots (QDs), which emit light in the band gap and whose emission color can be tuned by controlling particle size through the quantum size effect, have emerged. CdSe, InP, and CsPbBr3 have been developed as QD materials; however, they have problems in terms of toxicity and stability. Against this background, light-emitting materials with high environmental friendliness are required; therefore, we focused on the preparation of luminescent carbon dots (CDs) from abundant carbon sources. In this work, we pioneered an advanced liquid-phase method to synthesize CDs by polymerizing aromatic compound materials in non-aqueous solvents. Furthermore, the effects of surface modification and surrounding environment on the luminescence properties were investigated to control them.

     View Summary

    An ultraviolet light absorber is used in a photovoltaic module to protect its parts from ultraviolet light. As a result, in photovoltaic modules, the spectral sensitivity of wavelengths below 400 nm is reduced. If a phosphor converting ultraviolet light into visible light is used instead of the ultraviolet light absorber, it is possible to protect the photovoltaic module from ultraviolet light and at the same time to improve the spectral sensitivity of the photovoltaic module in ultraviolet range. In this research, we have developed core / shell type CuInS2/ZnS and CuGaS2/ZnS quantum dot phosphors that convert ultraviolet light to visible light and have high transparency to visible light with high spectral sensitivity of photovoltaic modules. We investigated the improvement of photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module by wavelength conversion of these quantum dots.

    Y2O3:Bi3+,Eu3+ nanosheets, which emit red light under near-UV irradiation, were obtained by calcining hydroxide precursor nanosheets synthesized through a hydrothermal method. An aqueous dispersion of positively charged Y2O3:Bi3+,Eu3+ nanosheets with polyethyleneimine adsorbed to the surface was prepared for their deposition. Fluorescent nanosheets were electrophoretically deposited on a transparent conductive substrate under a constant voltage. Next, polyvinylpyrrolidone was coated on the film. The effects of the PVP-coated film samples on the properties of a commercial monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic module were evaluated.
