Abstract
Luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) comprising an aqueous microemulsion including at least one photoluminescent compound. Said luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) can be advantageously used in solar devices (i.e. devices for exploiting solar energy) such as, for example, photovoltaic cells (or solar cells), photoelectrolytic cells. Said luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) can also be advantageously used in photovoltaic windows.
Claims14
An aqueous microemulsion for a luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) comprising:
- from 20% by weight to 90% by weight of water with respect to the total weight of surfactant+co-surfactant+water;
- from 3% by weight to 25% by weight of at least one surfactant with respect to the total weight of surfactant+co-surfactant+water;
- from 6% by weight to 50% by weight of at least one co-surfactant with respect to the total weight of surfactant+co-surfactant+water;
- from 1% by weight to 90% by weight of at least one organic solvent immiscible with water with respect to the total weight of organic solvent immiscible with water+water;
- from 0.02% by weight to 2% by weight of at least one photoluminescent compound with respect to the total weight of photoluminescent compound+organic solvent immiscible with water.
