European Network on Luminescent Materials (LUMINET)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
Luminescent materials have entered our every day life. They can be found in lamps, traffic lights, computer screens, cell phones, in labels for goods, are used in medical applications, airport security check devices and many more. Indeed, they have become indispensable and much of societies convenience and welfare depend on them. No wonder that the development and use of luminescent materials has ...

Nanomaterials for harvesting sub-band-gap photons via upconversion to increase solar cell efficiencies (NanoSpec)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,
To continue the path of cost reduction in photovoltaics the efficiency of silicon solar cells must be increased. With higher efficiencies more kWh can be produced from the same amount of silicon, which is the dominating cost factor at present. Fundamental loss mechanisms limit the maximum achievable efficiency: around 20% of the incident power is lost, because photons with energies below the band- ...
