Hybrid Perovskite Thin Films as Highly Efficient Luminescent Solar Concentrators
Katerina Nikolaidou,Som Sarang,Christine Hoffman,Benaz Mendewala,Hidetaka Ishihara,Jennifer Q. Lu,Boaz Ilan,Vincent Tung,Sayantani Ghosh +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, Monte Carlo simulations show that perovskites perform better than CdSe/CdTe quantum dots for luminescent solar concentrators, and they are ideal for solar photovoltaics.

Emily L. Wilson,A. DiGregorio,Vincent J. Riot,Mark Ammons,William W Bruner,D. Carter,Jianping Mao,Anand Ramanathan,Susan E. Strahan,Luke D. Oman,Christine Hoffman,Richard M Garner +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 4U (20 cm × 20 cm × 10 cm) occultation-viewing laser heterodyne radiometer (LHR) was designed for measuring methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) in the limb that is designed for deployment on a 6U CubeSat.

The potential of scalability in high efficiency hybrid perovskite thin film luminescent solar concentrators
Benaz Mendewala,Katerina Nikolaidou,Christine Hoffman,Som Sarang,Jennifer Q. Lu,Boaz Ilan,Sayantani Ghosh +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the correlation between film thickness, lead halide sources in the precursors, and film morphology, with the optical efficiency of planar hybrid metal-halide perovskite (PVSK) thin films.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for designing segmented non-imaging concentrators with planar or tubular absorbers is proposed, where concentrators are represented as concatenated linear segments, forming a faceted reflector.

Computational optimization for nonimaging solar concentrators using generalized pattern search
Boaz Ilan,Christine Hoffman,Cayce Rimland +2 more
- 14 Sep 2018
TL;DR: Results for 2D concentrators show that the algorithm can converge to the ideal concentrator's shape as the number of polygon vertices increases, and it is shown that when theNumber of vertices is small and fixed, the optimal polygon can differ significantly from the polygon that would be obtained using a uniform collocation of the ideal shape.
