高效稀土掺杂Na5Lu9F32上转换发光单晶体的研究

In order to overcome the difficulties in the current low power conversion efficiency (PCE) of single-junction solar cells such as perovskite solar cell induced from the inability of them to absorb the near infrared (NIR) light from 800 to 1700nm, the project aims to investigate rare earth ions such as Yb3+/Er3+ doped transparent big size Na5Lu9F32 fluoride single crystals with strong broad band absorption in the range of NIR and efficient upconversion (UC) of high energy visible emission. We intend to study the growth parameters of the multi-rare earth doped fluoride single crystals, and the relation between the optical absorption in the range of NIR, visible upconversion and doping concentration, doping rare earths. The optimum spectrum will be realized in terms of identifying the mechanisms and affecting factors for optical upconversion of rare earth ion which can be identified from their optical spectra. Furthermore, when the single crystal is inserted into the perovskite solar cells, the PCE of the cells will also be investigated under the irradiation of simulated sunlight. It is expected that the PCE is enhanced obviously because we used the UC crystal which can convert the NIR light to visible light within the response of perovskite solar cells. Finally, this project will provide a technology foundation to the research and productization of the novel efficient solar cell, and exploitation and utilization of green and renewable energy generation in the future.
