Abstract

Abstract : Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are an attractive architectural solution as building‐integrated photovoltaics for renewable electricity production in urban settings, on the way to self‐sufficient housing. When embedded in polymer matrices, bright benzoheterodiazole dyes with large Stokes shifts produce LSCs with state‐of‐the‐art optical and external quantum efficiency. Cover design by Gaia Barbieri.
