Abstract:We report on polymer nanocomposite films with ultraviolet (UV) spectrum down-shifting that can be transferred using the open-air multi-beam multi-target pulsed laser deposition (MBMT-PLD) on opto-electronic devices, such as photovoltaic (PV) cells, for the enhancement of their performance. The nanocomposites were made of the space-grade polymer CORIN impregnated with nanoparticles (NPs) of rare-earth (RE) doped compound NaYF 4 : Eu 3+ . NPs had a peak of down-shifted photoluminescence (PL) at 623 nm and a PL q… Show more
