A Review of Perovskite Nanocrystal Applications in Luminescent Solar Concentrators

Abstract

AbstractLuminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are capable of absorbing solar light over a large area, which subsequently converts light into luminescence at a red‐shifted wavelength and then redirects it to a smaller target to increase the per‐unit yield of photovoltaic devices. Among various LSC materials, perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted great attention due to their adjustable band gap, multi‐exciton effect, and good stability. In this review, a brief introduction of LSCs, including their advances and principles, is given, followed by a summary of perovskite‐NCs‐based LSCs. The selected examples for component optimization of inorganic perovskite NCs are outlined after an introduction to the structure and properties of perovskite NCs. The absorption and/or emission peaks of all‐inorganic and inorganic–organic hybrid perovskite NCs can be efficiently regulated, which not only increases the Stokes shift but also improves the stability. Excellent performance and operability show a bright application prospect of perovskite NCs in the field of LSC applications.
