The official website of Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States reported on the 12th that the research team of the Advanced Solar Photophysics Center of the laboratory obtained a certain solar energy conversion efficiency by spraying a thin layer of quantum dots on ordinary glass, so that the Glass windows become low-cost photovoltaic power generation systems.
People always try to use multiple connected solar cell modules to capture the solar energy falling on the windows. "Using a mechanism to send the captured sunlight directly to the solar cells on the edge of the window not only greatly simplifies the installation, but also costs less. Now we have done it." Victor Cremo, a nanotechnology engineer who led the research Said the husband. The Klimov team discovered that an ultra-thin quantum dot coating can transform ordinary glass into a solar panel, maintaining its function for up to 14 years, and the energy conversion efficiency is now as high as 1.9%, although it is far from practical requirements. There is still a gap of 6%, but they can reach this goal very quickly. Moreover, it is very easy to spray quantum dots on the window glass. It only needs a machine to spray the slurry quantum dots and PVP polymer onto the glass, and then spread them into a thin layer with a doctor blade.
