Abstract

A hybrid energy-harvesting system is proposed that combines photosynthesis and photovoltaics. First, the light passes through a spectrally selective solar cell, which absorbs almost all green light but absorbs almost no blue and red light. The blue and red light are absorbed by a photosynthesis executing plant. The solar cell is tailored in such a way that the photosynthetic process is almost unaffected by the generation of electrical energy. The spectrally selective solar cell consists of an array of inorganic optical antennas. By combining a spectrally selective solar cell and a photosynthetic executing plant, a hybrid energy system is formed, which absorbs almost 100% of the visible light, while the energy conversion efficiency of the solar cell reaches up to 50% of their nonspectrally selective counterparts. Guidelines are provided on how to realize both the highly efficient spectrally selective solar cells and hybrid energy-harvesting systems. The proposed solution allows for the realization of new greenhouses or gardens covered with spectrally selective transparent solar cells that produce chemical energy in the form of fruits and vegetables and electrical energy.

摘要

提出了一种将光合作用和光伏相结合的混合能源收集系统。首先,光线穿过一个光谱选择性太阳能电池,该电池几乎吸收所有绿光,但几乎不吸收蓝光和红光。蓝光和红光被执行光合作用的植物吸收。太阳能电池的设计方式使得光合作用过程几乎不受发电的影响。光谱选择性太阳能电池由一系列无机光学天线组成。通过将光谱选择性太阳能电池和执行光合作用的植物结合起来,形成了一个混合能源系统,该系统几乎可以吸收 100%的可见光,而太阳能电池的能量转换效率可达非光谱选择性太阳能电池的 50%。文中提供了如何实现高效光谱选择性太阳能电池和混合能源收集系统的指导方针。所提出的解决方案允许实现新的温室或花园,这些温室或花园覆盖着光谱选择性透明太阳能电池,以水果和蔬菜以及电能的形式产生化学能。
