Abstract
Discovering new forms of energy has been essential for the innovation of more efficient technologies in the future and is a phenomenon in optical and scientific industries worldwide. A solar cell converts electromagnetic radiation or artificial light into energy due to the photovoltaic effect. Solar cell efficiency has increased over the years due to different device material and design. Lanthanide elements are the interest for solar cell research due to their absorption of lost photons by utilizing the photoelectric effect. Lanthanide super crystals can increase photonic interactions and have the possibility of enhancing photoconductivity to create more efficient solar cells. In this research Ln3+ complexes will be used as spectral converters to increase photonic activity within inorganic solar cell devices. The research objective of this project is to enhance photonic absorption within existing inorganic solar cells from the ULTRAVIOLET(UV)-VISIBLE(VIS)-INFRARED(IR) electromagnetic spectrum. Overall, we were able to develop efficient light absorbing UC lanthanide metamaterials for opto-electric device applications.
