Background:

Solar panel efficiency is limited by light reflection and inefficient utilization of the solar spectrum.
Developing advanced coatings can improve light management and energy conversion in photovoltaic devices.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize and characterize a dual-functional organosilicone coating for perovskite solar panels.
To evaluate the coating's performance as an anti-reflective (AR) and luminescent down-shifting (LDS) layer.
To assess the impact of the coating on perovskite solar panel performance.

Main Methods:

Synthesis of a luminescent organosilicone via click reaction and sol-gel process.
Application of the organosilicone as a coating on glass and perovskite solar panels.
Optical and structural analysis of the coated samples.
Performance testing of perovskite solar panels with the dual-functional coating.

Main Results:

The organosilicone film exhibited effective luminescent down-shifting (LDS) and anti-reflective (AR) properties.
Coating the perovskite solar panel glass cover enhanced light transmission and converted UV light to blue light.
Significant improvements were observed in short-circuit current (Isc), UV external quantum efficiency (EQE), and overall solar panel efficiency.

Conclusions:

The developed dual-functional organosilicone coating is a promising material for enhancing perovskite solar panel performance.
Room-temperature gelation facilitates easy application and repair of the coating.
Maximized UV absorption for LDS and preserved transparency contribute to improved photovoltaic device efficiency.
