This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to improve the power output of solar cells and sensors to accelerate generation of clean power. This technology can be applied to industries such as solar panels, optics, imaging, and display devices. The proposed project will advance a manufacturing process to make the coatings at scale. This project will advance translation of multi-layered nano-optical coatings for photovoltaic panels, architectural glass, and opto-electronic devices. The technology uses photonic crystals guiding photons through a plasmonic resonance microstructure for efficient down- and up-conversion of spectrum of light. Technical objectives are to demonstrate and validate efficacy of the large-scale manufacturing of this coating on glass substrate for photovoltaic panels.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）全部或部分资助的。这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）II期项目的更广泛影响是提高太阳能电池和传感器的功率输出，以加速产生清洁能源。 该技术可以应用于太阳能电池板，光学，成像和显示设备等行业。拟议的项目将推进制造过程，以规模制造涂料。该项目将推动用于光伏面板，建筑玻璃和光电设备的多层纳米光涂层的翻译。 该技术使用光子晶体通过等离子共振微结构引导光子，以有效地向下和上升光谱。 技术目标旨在证明和验证该涂层在玻璃基板上用于光伏面板的效率。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估的评估来进行评估。
