Protocol on synthesis and characterization of copper-doped InP/ZnSe quantum dots as ecofriendly luminescent solar concentrators with high performance and large area

Summary: Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are simple and cost-effective solar energy-harvesting devices. Indium phosphide (InP)-based colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are promising QDs for efficient LSC devices due to their environmentally benign nature. One major challenge in LSC devices is reabsorption losses. To minimize the reabsorption, Stokes shift engineering is a critical process to designing the QD material. Here, we present a protocol that contains the preparation of structurally engineered copper-doped InP/ZnSe QDs and their LSC application.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Sadeghi et al.
