Anthracene/tetracene cocrystals as novel fluorophores in thin-film luminescent solar concentrators

Efficient thin-film luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) were fabricated using tetracene-doped anthracene cocrystals as novel fluorescent systems dispersed in a poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix. The LSC device efficiency eta sub(LSC) was found to reach 2.50%, with an optical efficiency eta sub(opt...

Description
Summary:Efficient thin-film luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) were fabricated using tetracene-doped anthracene cocrystals as novel fluorescent systems dispersed in a poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix. The LSC device efficiency eta sub(LSC) was found to reach 2.50%, with an optical efficiency eta sub(opt) in excess of 23% and a concentration factor Cof 0.83%.
