Nano-sized boron carbon oxynitride (BCNO) phosphors around 50 nm containing no rare earth metal and free from color heterogeneity were synthesized from mixtures of boric acid, urea, and citric acid by microwave heating with substantially shorter reaction times and lower temperatures than in the conventional BCNO preparation method such as electric-furnace heating. The emission wavelength of the phosphors varied with the mixing ratio of raw materials and it was found that lowering the proportion of urea to boric acid or citric acid tended to increase the internal quantum yield and shorten the emission wavelength under excitation at 365 nm. It was also found for the first time that a light-emitting polymer could be synthesized from a mixture of the prepared BCNO nanoparticles and a polyvinyl alcohol. This polymer composite exhibited uniform dispersion and stabilization of the luminescence and had a high internal quantum yield of 54%, which was higher than that of the phosphor alone.

Summary: This study focuses on the optimized design of blue and green emissive MAPbBr3 perovskite nanostructures (PNSs), which were utilized as fluorescent material in a sandwich-design thin film luminescent solar concentrator (SD-TLSC). The fabricated SD-TLSC demonstrates high performance with an optical efficiency of 5.75% and average visible transmission (AVT) of 85.7%, showing a two-fold enhancement compared to the conventional single thin film LSC configuration. The high performance is achieved by efficient solar radiation absorption in the entire wavelength range due to the unique morphology of the SD-TLSC with different PL emission. These groundbreaking results pave the way for the potential practical use of perovskite-based SD-TLSC as solar windows, marking a significant advancement in the field of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV).

New insight into pyrrolic-N site effect towards the first NIR window absorption of pyrrolic-N-rich carbon dots

Fitri Aulia Permatasari, Reza Umami, Citra Deliana Dewi Sundari, Tirta Rona Mayangsari, Atthar Luqman Ivansyah, Fahdzi Muttaqien, Takashi Ogi, Ferry Iskandar

Summary: Through integrated experimental and computational studies, the influence of pyrrolic-N concentration and position on the absorption of pyrrolic-N-rich carbon dots was comprehensively elucidated. It was found that a mid-site pyrrolic-N is generated after the pyrrolic-N concentration exceeds 10%, while edge-site pyrrolic-N induces a frontier orbital hybridization, reducing bandgap energy. This study sheds light on the design and optimization of pyrrolic-N-rich carbon dots for the first near infrared window responsive materials in biomedical applications.

Modulating Photothermal Properties of Carbon Dots through Nitrogen Incorporation Enables Efficient Solar Water Evaporation

Ita Rahmawati, Indriyati, Fitri A. Permatasari, Muhammad A. Irham, Mohamad I. Nugraha, Thomas D. Anthopoulos, Ferry Iskandar

Summary: Carbon dots (CDs) are a new family of carbon nanomaterials that show potential for solar water evaporation due to their cost-effectiveness, non-toxicity, high solubility, and tunable optical properties. However, CDs mainly absorb ultraviolet light, limiting their functionality in generating steam from solar energy. In this study, we demonstrate that the optical and photothermal properties of CDs can be controlled by varying their surface stoichiometry through adjusting precursor molar ratios. Using CDs as photothermal materials in a solar evaporator, we achieve a remarkable evaporation efficiency and rate, along with excellent durability and stability.
