Funded Activity Summary
Precision luminescent solar concentrators from robust quantum dot arrays. 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.Funded Activity Details
