Outline of Final Research Achievements

An ultraviolet light absorber is used in a photovoltaic module to protect its parts from ultraviolet light. As a result, in photovoltaic modules, the spectral sensitivity of wavelengths below 400 nm is reduced. If a phosphor converting ultraviolet light into visible light is used instead of the ultraviolet light absorber, it is possible to protect the photovoltaic module from ultraviolet light and at the same time to improve the spectral sensitivity of the photovoltaic module in ultraviolet range. In this research, we have developed core / shell type CuInS2/ZnS and CuGaS2/ZnS quantum dot phosphors that convert ultraviolet light to visible light and have high transparency to visible light with high spectral sensitivity of photovoltaic modules. We investigated the improvement of photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module by wavelength conversion of these quantum dots.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements
