LUMINESCENT SOLAR CONCENTRATORS

Perovskites cut energy losses

Nature Energy volume 4, pages 176–177 (2019)Cite this article

Subjects

The realization of perovskite nanostructures featuring high emission efficiency and a wide Stokes shift is proving difficult, limiting their impact on luminescent solar concentration technology. Now, engineered exciton routing within multilayered perovskite nanoplatelets may open a path towards high-performing, low-loss devices.
