Precision luminescent solar concentrators from robust quantum dot arrays

坚固量子点阵列精密发光太阳能聚光器。该项目旨在制造发光太阳能聚光器，可以利用传统太阳能电池不适合使用的表面（如车窗）的太阳能。它将设计、合成并对具有精确光谱特性的坚固无机量子点阵列进行详细的能量转移研究。合成光收集染料阵列经常被提出来解决太阳能领域的瓶颈挑战，但存在稳定性，加工和光物理输出与市场需求相匹配的问题。该项目的染料有望为澳大利亚发光太阳能聚光器技术创造市场机会。

Precision luminescent solar concentrators from robust quantum dot arrays. This project aims to make luminescent solar concentrators that can harness solar energy from surfaces not suited for conventional solar cells, such as car windows. It will design, synthesise and conduct detailed energy transfer studies of robust inorganic quantum dot arrays with fit-for-purpose precise spectral properties. Synthetic light-harvesting dye arrays have often been proposed to solve bottleneck challenges in the solar energy sector but there are issues with stability, processing and their photophysical output matching market needs. This project’s dyes are expected to create market opportunities for Australian luminescent solar concentrator technology.
