  • FLUORESCENCE COLLECTOR AND USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20120060897
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fluorescence collector for concentrating and converting solar radiation into electrical energy, which collector is constructed from a substrate and at least one polymer- or sol-gel layer as carrier structures for at least one sort of semiconducting nanoparticles and at least one fluorescent dye. The solar radiation is coupled into the collector, reflected internally and then emerges at a defined location at which a photovoltaic cell is disposed. By means of the latter, the conversion of solar into electrical energy is then effected.
