人们对温室气体排放对长期气候趋势的影响的认识有所提高，这使人们重新关注可再生能源技术的发展，以缓解这些过程。太阳能发电作为一种可行的可再生能源得到了广泛的认可，但由于成本和可用的应用领域等诸多因素，太阳能发电的速度有所放缓。发光太阳能集中器（LSC）正在研究作为一种低成本的途径，以扩大太阳能收集到新的空间。通过这次演示，我们开发了一套工具包，用于教育学生了解可再生能源和太阳能，同时促进STEM演示中通常缺乏的创造力。学生通过在塑料波导上涂上新开发的发光染料来设计LSC器件。薄的太阳能电池条安装在LSC绘画的边缘周围以发电。设计的创造力是科学发现和进步的核心部分，在LSC材料的绘画和测试中得到了促进。
The increased awareness of greenhouse gas emissions on long-term climate trends has put the spotlight back on the development of renewable energy technologies to mitigate these processes. Solar based electricity generation has gained widespread recognition as a viable source of renewable energy but has been slowed by a number of factors including cost and available application areas. Luminescent solar concentrators (LSC) are being investigated as a low-cost route to expand solar energy harvesting into new spaces. With this demonstration, we develop kits for educating students about renewable and solar energy while promoting a sense of creativity often lacking in STEM demonstrations. Students design LSC devices by painting newly developed luminescent dyes on plastic waveguides. Thin solar cell strips are mounted around the edges of the LSC paintings to generate power. Creativity in design, a central part of scientific discovery and advancement, is promoted throughout the painting and testing of LSC materials.
