“…We compare the performance of the Rh6Gand Eu-FWLSCs with that of planar LSCs, as there are no previous reports for cylindrical ones. In fact, the calculated F values are among the highest reported so far being approximately twice than the maximum values reported for LSCs based on PMMA/oxazine 750/benzene [52] and Red F/toluene [53] (F~0.5) in the case of U5Rh6G-FWLSC (F~0.9). We note that the F value found for the U5Eu-FWLSC (12.3) is approximately three times higher than the current world record measured considering only the LSC absorbing region, F = 4.4 (Table I) [5].…”

Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are cost‐effective components easily integrated in photovoltaics (PV) that can enhance solar cells' performance and promote the integration of PV architectural elements into buildings, with unprecedented possibilities for energy harvesting in façade design, urban furnishings and wearable fabrics. The devices' performance is dominated by the concentration factor (F), which is higher in cylindrical LSCs compared with planar ones (with equivalent collection area and volume). The feasibility of fabricating long‐length LSCs has been essentially limited up to ten of centimetres with F < 1. We use a drawing optical fibre facility to easily scale up large‐area LSCs (length up to 2.5 m) based on bulk and hollow‐core plastic optical fibres (POFs). The active layers used to coat the bulk fibres or fill the hollow‐core ones are Rhodamine 6G‐ or Eu3+‐doped organic–inorganic hybrids. For bulk‐coated LSCs, light propagation occurs essentially at the POFs, whereas for hollow‐core device light is also guided within the hybrid. The lower POFs' attenuation (~0.1 m−1) enables light propagation in the total fibre length (2.5 m) for bulk‐coated LSCs with maximum optical conversion efficiency (ηopt) and F of 0.6% and 6.5, respectively. For hollow‐core LSCs, light propagation is confined to shorter distances (6–9 × 10−2 m) because of the hybrids' attenuation (1–15 m−1). The hollow‐core optimised device displays ηopt = 72.4% and F = 12.3. The F values are larger than the best ones reported in the literature for large‐area LSCs (F = 4.4), illustrating the potential of this approach for the development of lightweight flexible high‐performance waveguiding PV.

“…Another positive feature is the capability of absorbing sunlight from both front and rear sides and the potential to function in diffuse light conditions. While the LSC is not a new concept, the device first being mentioned in the late 1970s (Weber and Lambe, 1976), there have been relatively few tests of the devices in real situations (Bakr et al, 1999;El-Shahawy and Mansour, 1996;Mansour et al, 2002;Pravettoni et al, 2009;Salem et al, 2000), almost exclusively having been confined to the laboratory settings and direct illumination from solar simulators. While there are statements that the LSC device performs well under diffuse illumination (Hernandez-Noyola et al, 2012;Reda, 2008;Vishwanathan et al, 2015), there are limited research efforts to verify this assertion (Aste et al, 2015;Desmet et al, 2012;Mansour, 1998;Mansour et al, 2002).…”
