Unfortunately, LSCs have suffered from numerous efficiency losses. Therefore, new luminescent species and novel approaches are needed for its practical application. This paper deals with investigation of nonhazardous, environmental friendly luminescent species include CuInS2/ZnS core/shell QDs. The CuInS2/ZnS QDs possess advantages of Stocks shift as large as more than 130 nm and high photoluminescence quantum yield of 80. The paper presents the effect of large stock shift CuInS2/ZnS QDs on reducing the reabsorption losses in LSC by using experimental investigation. The LSC sheets were fabricated by dispersing CuInS2/ZnS QDs particles in a polymethylmethacrylate waveguide. A series of LSCs (dimension 4.0 cm 3.0 cm 0.3cm) with different CuInS2/ZnS QDs particles concentration (0.015 and 0.03 wt.) were fabricated and their optical properties (absorptions/emissions) were characterized. The results show that the CuInS2/ZnS QDs-LSC provides a promising way for the reduction of reabsorption losses in LSCs. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. date: 2018 publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85044508429&doi=10.1088%2f1757-899X%2f328%2f1%2f012022&partnerID=40&md5=b7a78efd5717e2a55002f6f0eef9c75d id_number: 10.1088/1757-899X/328/1/012022 full_text_status: none publication: IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering volume: 328 number: 1 refereed: TRUE issn: 17578981 citation: Bakhoda, S. and Assadi, M.K. and Ahmadi Kandjani, S. and Al Kayiem, H.H. and Bhat, A.H.
