Synergistic Evaporative Cooling and Dual-Mode Luminescent Film for Photovoltaic Cooling and Spectral Harvesting
sc) by 2.2%. Under dual functionality, solar cells coated with a PVA-ABA3 film achieve an average temperature reduction of 10.7 °C and a relatively 7.9% improvement in power conversion efficiency (PCE) compared to uncoated cells under simulated sunlight. Outdoor evaluations demonstrate PVA-ABA3 coated solar cells sustain temperature stabilization and achieve a peak enhancement in PCE of 15.4%. This work develops a multifunctional coating that simultaneously addresses thermal management and spectral conversion challenges in PV applications.
