我们展示了一种简单而廉价的方法来制造灵活的和荧光团掺杂的发光太阳能聚光器（LSC）。聚二甲基硅氧烷（PDMS）作为一种主体材料，另外还提供了以任意形状铸造LSC的可能性。激光染料Pyrromethene 567被用作原型荧光团，它被证明，它具有93%的高量子产率在调查的浓度范围内。研究了柔性LSC的光学效率和损耗通道;还表明，当弯曲LSC时，效率仍然很高，这对于柔性LSC对太阳能产生影响至关重要。
We demonstrate a simple and inexpensive method to fabricate flexible and fluorophore-doped luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs). Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) serves as a host material which additionally offers the potential to cast LSCs in arbitrary shapes. The laser dye Pyrromethene 567 is used as a prototype fluorophore, and it is shown that it has a high quantum yield of 93% over the concentration range investigated. The optical efficiency and loss channels of the flexible LSCs are investigated; it is also demonstrated that the efficiency remains high while bending the LSC which is essential for flexible LSCs to make an impact on solar energy.
