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.

该奖项全部或部分由《2021年美国救援计划法案》（公法117-2）资助。这项小企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段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，以加速清洁能源的产生。这项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。拟议中的项目将推进一种大规模生产涂料的制造工艺。该项目将推进用于光伏板、建筑玻璃和光电器件的多层纳米光学涂层的转化。该技术利用光子晶体引导光子通过等离子共振微结构，实现光谱的高效上下转换。技术目标是演示和验证该涂层在光伏板玻璃基板上大规模生产的有效性。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
