TL;DR: In this paper, the application of rare-earth-doped inorganic materials for achieving external quantum efficiencies greater than unity and enhancing the conversion efficiency of silicon solar cells was examined, and the opportunities for the DC of high-energy solar photons to multiple photons with energy greater than the silicon bandgap were discussed.

TL;DR: Erbium-doped sodium yttrium fluoride (NaYF4:Er3+) up-conversion phosphors were attached to the rear of a bifacial silicon solar cell to enhance its reponsivity in the near-infrared.
Abstract: Erbium-doped sodium yttrium fluoride (NaYF4:Er3+) up-conversion phosphors were attached to the rear of a bifacial silicon solar cell to enhance its reponsivity in the near-infrared. The incident wavelength and light intensity were varied and the resulting short circuit current of the solar cell was measured. A close match between the spectral features of the external quantum efficiency and the phosphor absorption is consistent with the energy transfer up-conversion process. The peak external quantum efficiency of the silicon solar cell was measured to be (2.5±0.2)% under 5.1 mW laser excitation at 1523 nm, corresponding to an internal quantum efficiency of 3.8%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss ways of reducing the two major losses encountered in a single-junction photovoltaic (PV) device, namely sub-band gap transmission and lattice thermalisation losses, via the application of passive luminescent devices called up-and down-converters, respectively.

TL;DR: This critical review describes the latest developments in the sensitization of near-infrared luminescence, "soft" luminescent materials (liquid crystals, ionic liquids, ionogels), electroluminescentmaterials for organic light emitting diodes, with emphasis on white light generation, and applications in luminecent bio-sensing and bio-imaging based on time-resolved detection and multiphoton excitation.
Abstract: Recent startling interest for lanthanide luminescence is stimulated by the continuously expanding need for luminescent materials meeting the stringent requirements of telecommunication, lighting, electroluminescent devices, (bio-)analytical sensors and bio-imaging set-ups. This critical review describes the latest developments in (i) the sensitization of near-infrared luminescence, (ii) “soft” luminescent materials (liquid crystals, ionic liquids, ionogels), (iii) electroluminescent materials for organic light emitting diodes, with emphasis on white light generation, and (iv) applications in luminescent bio-sensing and bio-imaging based on time-resolved detection and multiphoton excitation (500 references).
