Plasmon-Enhanced Light Harvesting of Chlorophylls on Near-Percolating Silver Films via One-Photon Anti-Stokes Upconversion
There exists a wealth of means of efficient utilization of solar energy in nature, with photosynthesis of chlorophylls as a prime example. Separately, artificially structured plasmonic materials are versatile in light harvesting and energy conversion. Using a simple and scalable design of near-percolating silver nanostructures, we demonstrate that the light-harvesting efficiency of chlorophylls...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of plasmon enhanced energy transfer rate in NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ upconversion nanoparticles
Energy transfer upconversion (ETU) is known to be the most efficient frequency upconversion mechanism. Surface plasmon can further enhance the upconversion process, opening doors to many applications. However, ETU is a complex process involving competing transitions between multiple energy levels and it has been difficult to precisely determine the enhancement mechanisms. In this paper, we repo...
متن کاملSynthesis and Photophysical Characterization of Annihilator-Sensitizer Pairs for Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Based Photon Upconversion
Transitioning to a future society, independent of fossil fuels, will definitely require the use of solar radiation for power and fuel production. Due to energy mismatch between device absorption and the broad band irradiation provided by the sun there are severe limitations to how efficient devices for direct conversion of solar radiation can be. One way to better use the solar radiation would ...
متن کاملEnhancement in energy and exergy efficiency of a solar receiver using suspended alumina nanparticles (nanofluid) as heat transfer fluid
An experimental and theoretical energy and exergy analysis was conducted for a cylindrical cavity receiver employed in a parabolic dish collector. Based on simultaneous energy and exergy analysis, the receiver average wall temperature and overall heat transfer coefficient were determined. A simplified Nusselt number for Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) through the receiver as a function of Reynolds an...
متن کاملEnergy upconversion in GaP/GaNP core/shell nanowires for enhanced near-infrared light harvesting.
Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) have recently gained increasing interest due to their great potential for photovoltaics. A novel material system based on GaNP NWs is considered to be highly suitable for applications in efficient multi-junction and intermediate band solar cells. This work shows that though the bandgap energies of GaN(x)P(1-x) alloys lie within the visible spectral range (i.e., wit...
