Abstract
The nano pigment synthesized from chloroauric acid was utilized in the fabrication of panels and films, which served as luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) to enhance the energy conversion efficiency of solar cells. Based on the optical measurements, the nano pigment demonstrated the ability to both absorb and transmit a significant portion of solar radiation, indicating its high potential for efficient light management in photovoltaic applications. Based on the results, production with the panel and film led to solar cells that work more efficiently than before. Analysis with XRD determined that the pigment forms in nanoscale crystals with sizes of (30–60) nm. The thicknesses of the panel and the film, along with the concentration of nano pigments, were maintained at constant values. All epoxy polymer and glycerin liquid used during the preparation process were maintained at constant levels, as they did not significantly affect the characteristics or performance of the panels and films integrated with solar cells
