PATENT STATUS: FILED
PRIORITY NUMBER: 102019000022068
GRANT DATE/PRIORITY DATE: 25/11/2019
PUBLISHED AS: EP20209691.3
Invention
The patented technology is an innovative Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC), created
from filmogenic aqueous dispersions containing fluorophores with high quantum yield.
The studies carried out allowed to perform a screening of various mixtures containing
specific polymeric resins and appropriate fluorophores, in order to obtain an optimal
aqueous dispersion for a process of light absorption and subsequent emission, at high
intensity, of fluorescence.
This dispersion, once deposited on a transparent surface (window glass, terraces, etc.),
creates a film of polymeric material highly emissive and with the same refractive index
of the glass, capable of concentrating light radiation on the edges, towards the
photovoltaic cell (PV), and produce electricity.

Industrial applications
SECTOR
- Renewable Energies
POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS
- Production of colored and highly transparent glass or plastic sheets, able to absorb UV rays and consequently produce electricity;
- Production of glazing and windows, which maintain the same refractive index as glass;
- Manufacturing Nearly Zero Energy Buildings;
- Creation of architectural structures capable of self-powering, following the absorption of solar energy.
Possible
developments
The design of new luminescent solar concentrators LSC, useful to maximize the
diffusion of photovoltaics in urban contexts, is the main objective of the ongoing
studies, both for their considerable environmental impact and for the adaptability of
the panels (transparent and colored) that increase the visual comfort of architectural
structures.
Objectives currently under investigation are scaling up the size of the prototype and
validation of prototypes previously developed in the laboratory.
The research team is interested in industrial partnering in order to increase the
technological readiness level of the invention and to consider a possible licensing of
the patented technology.
