研究目的
To develop a novel down-converting phosphor Lu2GeO5: Bi3+, Yb3+ with near-infrared quantum cutting to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of silicon-based solar cells by enhancing energy transfer and quantum yield.
研究成果
The research successfully demonstrates a high energy transfer efficiency of 65% and theoretical quantum yield of 165% in Lu2GeO5: Bi3+, Yb3+ phosphor, with excellent thermal stability. This phosphor is promising for enhancing silicon-based solar cell efficiency through near-infrared quantum cutting, with recommendations for future work on practical applications and reducing non-radiative losses.
研究不足
The study may have limitations in scalability for industrial applications, potential impurities in synthesized samples affecting properties, and the theoretical quantum yield not fully achievable due to non-radiative losses and concentration quenching. Optimization of doping concentrations and further stability tests under real solar cell conditions could be areas for improvement.
