The luminescent solar concentrator (LSC), originally introduced almost four decades ago as a potential alternative/complement to silicon solar cells, has since evolved to a versatile photovoltaic (PV) solution with realistic potential for seamless integration into the urban architectural landscape. Yet, a popular perception of the device still persists: the LSC is mostly seen as just a low‐efficiency solar panel. This review challenges this outdated notion and argues that the LSC is, to the contrary, a powerful and highly adaptive photonic platform with many more capabilities and potential than only generating electricity from sunlight. The field has seen a rapidly expanding application portfolio over the last few years, with LSCs now considered in various sensing applications, “smart” windows, chemical reactors, horticulture, and even in optical communication and real‐time responsive systems. The main goal of this work is to shed light onto this alternative application space and highlight the LSC's unique spectral manipulation, light distribution, and light concentration properties, and as a result, to encourage the participation from a broader range of disciplines into LSC research with the ultimate aim of stimulating the development of novel, LSC inspired technologies.

发光太阳能聚光器的潜在潜能

发光太阳能集中器(LSC)最初是将近四十年前推出的,它是硅太阳能电池的潜在替代品/补充品,此后已发展成为具有无缝集成到城市建筑景观中的现实潜力的多功能光伏(PV)解决方案。然而,人们对该设备的普遍看法仍然存在:LSC通常仅被视为低效率的太阳能电池板。这篇评论对这一过时的概念提出了挑战,并提出相反的观点,LSC是一个强大的,高度自适应的光子平台,其功能和潜力远远超过仅通过阳光发电。在过去的几年中,该领域的应用范围迅速扩大,现在在各种传感应用,“智能”窗户,化学反应器,园艺,甚至在光通信和实时响应系统中。这项工作的主要目的是阐明这一替代的应用领域,并强调LSC独特的光谱操纵,光分布和光集中特性,从而鼓励更广泛的学科参与LSC研究。刺激LSC启发的新颖技术发展的最终目的。
