Three quantum dot luminescent solar concentrators (QDLSCs) are constructed to assess their performance in an outdoor environment over entire year. The QDLSCs have a PMMA‐Kraton‐PMMA sandwich structure with either InP/ZnSe/ZnS, , or CdSe/CdS/ZnS core/shell dots incorporated the Kraton interlayer. Furthermore, two reference LSCs included: one using Lumogen F Red 305 as luminophore and without layer. power conversion efficiency is assessed for cloudy sunny day, showing influence of diffuse...
Abstract Quantum dot (QD)‐based luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) promise to revolutionize energy technology by replacing building materials with energy‐harvesting devices. However, QDs degrade under air, limiting the long‐term performance of QD‐LSCs. This study introduces an innovative approach prevent degradation utilizing a photoactive polymer matrix (maleic anhydride‐grafted poly(styrene‐b‐ethylene‐co‐butylene‐b‐styrene, SEBS‐g‐MA). strategy has been tested outdoors over 2‐year...
