Design of a polymer optical fiber luminescent solar concentrator

We present the design and optimization of a polymeric optical fiber luminescent solar concentrator (FLSC) and systematically investigate the impact of the geometrical and physical parameters of the fiber and active luminescent dopants on the FLSC performance. A multiplicity of individual FLSCs may be arranged on a surface to form a low-weight and mechanically flexible solar concentrating fabric...

A novel blue dye for near-IR 'dye-sensitised' solar cell applications.

A squaraine dye incorporating two carboxylic acid attaching groups has been synthesised and used successfully in both liquid and solid-state solar cells, with solar energy to electricity conversion efficiencies (eta) under AM 1.5 G irradiation (100 mW cm(-2)) of 3.7 and 1.5% and short-circuit current densities (J(sc)s) of 8.6 and 4.2 mA cm(-2), with open-circuit voltages (V(oc)) of 591 and 681 ...

Project title : Novel luminescent materials for a concentrator approach to enhanced efficiency solar energy conversion

We used the limited funds of this grant to conduct cutting edge research on perovskite materials and their use in solar cells. We have made breakthroughs and are having strong impact in the field. We have submitted two major proposals to DOE-EERE SunShot program for funding in cooperation with an industrial partner OmniPV Inc and Dyesol Inc but both times we were turned down. Our efforts howeve...
