Luminescent Solar Concentrators Fabricated by Dispersing Rare Earth Particles in PMMA Waveguide
Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) were fabricated by dispersing CaAlSiN3 : Eu2+ particles in a PMMA waveguide. A series of LSCs (dimension 5.0 cm × 5.0 cm × 0.5 cm) with different CaAlSiN3 : Eu2+ particle concentration were obtained and their performance was evaluated. The maximum optical conce...

| Summary: | Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) were fabricated by dispersing CaAlSiN3 : Eu2+ particles in a PMMA waveguide. A series of LSCs (dimension 5.0 cm × 5.0 cm × 0.5 cm) with different CaAlSiN3 : Eu2+ particle concentration were obtained and their performance was evaluated. The maximum optical concentration ratio is 1.23 with a power conversion efficiency of 1.44% for the LSC containing 0.5 wt% CaAlSiN3 : Eu2+ particles concentration. This strategy of dispersing rare earth particles in PMMA waveguide represents an alternative approach to producing highly durable LSCs. |
