Fluorescent Protein Solid-State Luminescent Solar Concentrators.

ABSTRACT: Building integration of Silicon-photovoltaic (Si-PV) panels into urban infrastructure faces efficiency and aesthetic concerns. An effective alternative is the luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs), in which the emitters embedded in polymer blocks capture, converts, and guide the sun irradiation to the edges where Si-PV panels are placed. The best LSCs are based on rare-earth and/or toxic emitters, which undermines the sustainability of this technology. In this context, a few groups have implemented biogenic emitters like fluorescent proteins (FPs) and protein systems in liquid-state LSCs, reaching the maximum optical efficiency (η_opt) of 6.88%. However, liquid-state LSCs face low photostability and easy leakage issues. Herein, it is demonstrated that the concept of FP solid-sta
