  • Patent number: 11706979
    Abstract: Disubstituted diaryloxybenzoheterodiazole compound of general formula (I): in which: Z represents a sulfur atom, an oxygen atom, a selenium atom; or an NR5 group in which R5 is selected from linear or branched C1-C20, or from optionally substituted aryl groups; R1, R2, R3 and R4 are as defined in the claims. The disubstituted diaryloxybenzoheterodiazole compound of general formula (I) can advantageously be used as a spectrum converter in luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) which are in turn capable of improving the performance of photovoltaic devices (or solar devices) selected, for example, from photovoltaic cells (or solar cells), photovoltaic modules (or solar modules) on either a rigid substrate or a flexible substrate.

  • Patent number: 11133474
    Abstract: Disubstituted diaryloxybenzoheterodiazole compound of general formula (1): in which:—Z represents a sulfur atom, an oxygen atom, a selenium atom; or an NR5 group in which R5 is selected from linear or branched C1-C20, preferably C1-C8, alkyl groups, or from optionally substituted aryl groups;—R1, R2 and R3 are as defined in the claims. The said disubstituted diaryloxybenzoheterodiazole compound of general formula (I) can advantageously be used as a spectrum converter in luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) which are in turn capable of improving the performance of photovoltaic devices (or solar devices) selected, for example, from photovoltaic cells (or solar cells), photovoltaic modules (or solar modules) on either a rigid substrate or a flexible substrate.

  • Patent number: 9353128
    Abstract: Disubstituted naphthoheterodiazole compound having general formula (I): wherein: Z represents a heteroatom selected from oxygen (O), sulfur (S), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), preferably sulfur (S); R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7, equal to or different from each other, represent a hydrogen atom; or they are selected from n-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl. Said disubstituted naphthoheterodiazole compound having general formula (I) can be advantageously used as spectrum converter in luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs), in its turn capable of improving the performances of photovoltaic devices (or solar devices) selected, for example, from photovoltaic cells (or solar cells), photovoltaic modules (or solar modules), on both rigid and flexible supports.
