    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a transparent luminescent solar concentrator (LSC). The LSC according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a polymer resin panel uniformly doped with phosphors. Accordingly, it is possible to greatly improve the transmittance and optical haze compared to the existing LSC manufactured by physically mixing or coating phosphors on the front side of the panel. In addition, it is possible to greatly improve the light collection efficiency of the LSC through the arrangement structure of the solar cells embedded in the polymer resin panel. The polymer resin panel according to an embodiment may be manufactured with flexibility or rigidity according to the purpose of use, and thus can be widely applied to curved structures, for example, building windows, automobile glasses and greenhouse roofs.

    Abstract: Provided is a photoreactive smart window. The photoreactive smart window includes a liquid crystal layer of which light transmittance changes according to the presence of ultraviolet (UV) light and which is combined with a solar cell. The photoreactive smart window is in a transparent condition in the daytime when UV light is generated from the sun, and accordingly sunlight passing therethrough is converted into electric energy. Also, the photoreactive smart window is in an opaque condition in the evening and at night when no UV light is generated from the sun, and accordingly no curtains are necessary on the windows.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to down-shifting nanophosphors, a method for preparing the same, and a luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) using the same. The down-shifting nanophosphors according to an embodiment of the present disclosure include a core including NaYF4 nanocrystals doped with neodymium (Nd) and ytterbium (Yb), and further include a neodymium (Nd)-doped crystalline shell surrounding the core, or further include a NaYF4 crystalline shell surrounding the crystalline shell. Therefore, the down-shifting nanophosphors efficiently absorb near infrared rays with a wavelength range of 700-900 nm and efficiently emit near infrared rays with a wavelength range of 950-1050 nm. In addition, the down-shifting nanophosphors according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has a size of 60 nm or less, and thus can be applied to manufacture transparent LSC films with ease and can realize transparent solar cell modules having high near infrared ray shifting efficiency.

    Abstract: A solar cell panel includes a light concentration layer on which sunlight is incident and concentrated; a cladding layer stacked on bottom of the light concentration layer; a light conversion/light guide layer including a light guide layer stacked on bottom of the light concentration layer to guide visible light to a side surface and a light conversion member to convert ultraviolet or infrared light to visible light; and a solar cell array placed along a side surface of the light conversion/light guide layer and having multiple solar cells electrically connected. The solar cell panel and a window comprising the same can increase efficiency of a window-type solar module by converting and concentrating light in a wavelength range not contributing to solar cell efficiency.
