Abstract
Luminescent solar concentrators are very attractive due to their potential application in Building-integrated photovoltaics. In this work, the CaF2: Tb3+ nanoparticles chosen as the luminescent center in transparent substrate of luminescent solar concentrators. The PMMA chosen as the optical waveguide of luminescent solar concentrators. A series of CaF2: Tb3+ nanoparticles with different Tb3+ doping concentrations and CaF2: Tb3+ / PMMA optical waveguides with different CaF2: Tb3+ nanoparticles doping concentrations were prepared, and identified by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscope, the relationship between emission intensity and irradiation time, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, UV - vis excitation spectra, emission spectra, decay dynamics and and photoluminescence quantum efficiency. The obtained nanoparticles are uniform and mono-disperse. The CaF2: Tb3+/PMMA optical waveguides are transparent under sunlight. The photoluminescence properties fluorescence dynamics have been investigated. The results indicate that CaF2: Tb3+/PMMA optical waveguides emit characteristic green light of Tb3+ ions, the lifetimes are longer and photoluminescence, thermal and chemical stability are relatively high, which are very suitable for luminescent solar concentrators.
