Environmental Effects on the Performance of Quantum Dot Luminescent Solar Concentrators.

ABSTRACT: Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are all-photonic, semitransparent solar devices with great potential in the emerging fields of building-integrated photovoltaics and agrivoltaics. Over the past decade, particularly with the advent of quantum dot (QD) LSCs, tremendous progress has been made in terms of photovoltaic efficiency and device size by increasing solar spectral coverage and suppressing reabsorption losses. Despite these advances in LSC design, the effects of environmental conditions such as rain, dust, and dirt deposits, which are ubiquitous in both urban and agricultural environments, on LSC performance have been largely overlooked. Here, we address these issues by systematically investigating the environmental effects on the solar harvesting and waveguiding capability of st
