Luminescent photo voltaic concentrators (LSCs) are capable of gather large-area daylight to generate electrical energy with a low value, displaying nice potential in building-integrated photovoltaics. Nonetheless, the low effectivity of large-area LSCs attributable to the reabsorption losses is a crucial subject that hampers their sensible purposes. On this work, we synthesized novel yellow emissive carbon dots (CDs) with a big Stokes shift of 193 nm, which exhibit practically zero reabsorption. The quantum yield (QY) of the yellow emitting CDs is as much as 61%. The yellow emitting CDs could be employed to manufacture high-performance large-area LSCs owing to profitable suppression of reabsorption losses. The as-prepared LSCs are capable of soak up 14% of the daylight because the absorption of the CDs matches properly with Solar’s spectrum. The massive-area LSC (10 × 10 cm2) with a laminated construction primarily based on the yellow emitting CDs achieves an optical conversion effectivity (ηopt) of 4.56% and energy conversion effectivity (ηPCE) of 4.1% below pure daylight (45 mW cm-2), that are considerably greater than different beforehand reported works with the same sizes. Moreover, the ready high-performance LSCs present good stability. This technique of synthesizing novel CDs for high-efficiency LSCs supplies a helpful platform for future examine and sensible utility of LSCs.
