Enhanced photovoltaic output of flexible polyethylene vinylacetate film heterogenized by chalcogenide quantum dots
A flexible composite film of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) containing chalcogenide quantum dots (PQDs) is developed, aiming to enhance photovoltaic efficiency by dual benefits of down-conversion effect of PQDs and solar panel cooling. Microstructural and optical characterizations by TEM, XPS, and PL spectroscopy exhibit that the PQDs/EVA film presents a transparent, flexible, durable, and stable fluorescence performances. The prepared PQDs/EVA film possesses an efficient UV-to-green light conversion and over 90 % visible light transmittance. Compared to pure EVA, the PQDs/EVA film with 4 % PQD content boosts photocurrent by 4 % and reduces surface temperature of solar panel by 3°C under one sun intensity. These performances stem from the down-conversion of UV to green light, which matches with the absorption band of silicon cell, and reduction of the surface working temperature of the solar panel. These works demonstrate the potential of PQDs/EVA film as a scalable solution to improve the solar cell performance.
