Title:
FLUORESCENCE COLLECTOR AND USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/043414
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fluorescence collector for focusing and converting solar radiation into electricity, said collector being constructed from a substrate (5) and at least one polymer layer (6) or sol-gel layer (6) as carrier structures for at least one type of semiconducting nanoparticles and at least one fluorescent dye. The solar radiation is coupled into the collector and reflected internally, emerging at a defined location, where a photovoltaic cell (1) is disposed. Solar power is thereby converted into electricity.
