Doped semiconductor nanocrystals boost solar concentrators

Researchers at the University of Washington and Western Washington University in the US have designed a new, high-performance and transparent luminescent solar concentrator based on “zero self-absorption” doped quantum dots. The device could be used to make cheaper, more efficient solar cells and might even be ideal in applications like smart windows……….
