Abstract

Here, a transparent luminescent down-conversion material (DCM) of NaYF4:Pr3+@NaYF4:Eu3+ core@shell nanoparticles has been used for OSCs application. The core@shell nanoparticles were prepared via a chemical sol–gel process. In OSCs, the prepared DCM is coated at backside of indium-doped tin oxide gl...
