U.2016-02-082016-02-0820110044-8249http://hdl.handle.net/11693/21718A polymer-embedded dendritic, bodipy-based panchromatic absorber with a built-in energy gradient concentrates incident solar radiation at a terminal chromophore, resulting in a monochromatized emission directed to the sides of the polymer waveguide (see picture). This particular design minimizes self-absorption losses from the peripheral antenna units with an impressive S factor of 10 000.EnglishBodipyDendrimersEnergy transferLight harvestingSolar cellsBodipyEnergy gradientsLight harvestingLuminescent solar concentratorsPolymer waveguidesS-factorUnimolecularAbsorptionChromophoresDendrimersEnergy transferIncident solar radiationSunSolar energyTowards unimolecular luminescent solar concentrators: bodipy-based dendritic energy-transfer cascade with panchromatic absorption and monochromatized emissionArticle10.1002/anie.2011048461521-3757
