Effect of the Orientation Schemes of the Energy Collection Element on the Optical Performance of a Parabolic Trough Concentrating Collector
摘要： While the circular shape is currently the proven optimum design of the energy collection element (ECE) of a parabolic trough collector, that is yet to be confirmed for parabolic trough concentrating collectors (PTCCs) like trough concentrating photovoltaic collectors and hybrid photovoltaic/thermal collectors. Orientation scheme of the ECE is expected to have significant effect on the optical performance including the irradiance distribution around the ECE and the optical efficiency, and therefore, on the overall energy performance of the PTCC. However, little progress addressing this issue has been reported in the literature. In this study, a thorough investigation has been conducted to determine the effect of the orientation schemes of ECE on the optical performance of a PTCC applying a state-of-the-art Monte Carlo ray tracing (MCRT) technique. The orientation schemes considered are a flat rectangular target and a hollow circular, semi-circular, triangular, inverted triangular, rectangular and rectangle on semi-circle (RSc). The effect of ECE defocus, Sun tracking error and trough rim angle on the optical performance is also investigated. The MCRT study reveals that the ECE orientation schemes with a curved surface at the trough end showed much higher optical efficiency than those with a linear surface under ideal conditions. ECEs among the linear surface group, the inverted triangular orientation exhibited the highest optical efficiency, whereas the flat and triangular ones exhibited the lowest optical efficiency, and the rectangular one was in between them. In the event of defocus and tracking errors, a significant portion of the concentrated light was observed to be intercepted by the surfaces of the rectangular and RSc ECEs that are perpendicular to the trough aperture. This is an extended version of a published work by the current authors, which will help to design an optically efficient ECE for a parabolic trough concentrating collector.

Effects of receiver parameters on the optical performance of a fixed-focus Fresnel lens solar concentrator/cavity receiver system in solar cooker
摘要： To facilitate building integration with solar cooker for household, a solar cooker based on a fixed-focus Fresnel lens solar concentrator/cavity receiver system was proposed. To increase the system optical efficiency, the cavity receiver with bottom reflective cone was used as a fixed receiver. Expecting to optimize the system and receiver of better optical performance, the effects of receiver parameters on it were studied. To evaluate the effects, a significance test of key factors was conducted. Comparative analysis of fixed-focus food cooking system was undertaken. The analysis shows that average optical efficiencies using cavity receiver with bottom reflective cone of spherical, cylindrical, conical are 72.23%, 68.37% and 76.40%, respectively, while that of their corresponding conventional cavity receivers are 68.49%, 31.91% and 74.61%. The former significantly increased 3.74%, 36.46% and 1.79%, respectively. Moreover, cavity receiver with bottom reflective cone angle 90° is able to hold a higher amount of incoming energy from concentrator, compared to other three angles. Increasing the bottom reflective cone reflectivity and cavity receiver surface absorptivity can improve optical efficiency. In addition, the cavity receiver surface absorptivity and concentrated sunlight incidence angle have the most significant influence on the optical efficiency and flux uniformity, respectively. The conical cavity receiver with bottom reflective cone is the most suitable one for system. This work is expected to be useful for further optimization of solar concentrator/cavity receiver system.

Optical Performance Degradation Effects by Fabrication Errors of Circular-type Computer Generated Holograms
摘要： A null test method which relies on a computer generated hologram (CGH) is widely used to measure a large aspheric surface. For precise measurements of the surface shape of an aspheric optics, the CGH must precisely generate a wavefront that can fit on the ideal surface shape of the aspheric optics. If fabrication errors arise in the CGH, an unwanted wavefront will be generated and the measuring result will lack trustworthiness. Thus far, there has been limited research on wavefronts generated by CGH using only linear-type binary grating models. In this study, a theoretical error model of a circular-type zone plate, the most commonly used types for CGH patterns, is suggested. The proposed error model is checked by simulations and experiments.

Photocatalytic Activity of Monosized AuZnO Composite Nanoparticles
摘要： Photocatalytic activity of monosized AuZnO composite nanoparticles with different compositions were synthesized by the one-pot polyol procedure, using the triblock copolymer poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol)-blockpoly(ethylene glycol) (PEO-PPO-PEO) as the surfactant. The structure and morphology of the composite nanoparticles were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The characterization showed that the AuZnO composite nanoparticles were spherical, with narrow particle size distribution and high crystallinity. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) study con?rms the PEO-PPO-PEO molecules on the surface of the composite nanoparticles. The investigations by ultraviolet-visible light absorbance spectrometer (UV-Vis) and photoluminescence spectrophotometer (PL) demonstrate well the dispersibility and excellent optical performance of the AuZnO composite nanoparticles. Photocatalytic activity and reusability of the AuZnO nanoparticles in UV and visible light regions was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). The experimental results show that the AuZnO composite nanoparticles with a suitable amount of Au loading have stability and improved photocatalytic activity. AuZnO composite nanoparticles are effective and stable for the degradation of organic pollutants in aqueous solution.

Study on electronic and optical properties of the twisted and strained MoS2/PtS2 heterogeneous interface
摘要： We report electronic and optical properties of the MoS2/PtS2 heterogeneous interfaces subject to various twisting angles based on the first principles simulation. In order to sustain the structural stability and avoid to have a large size cell, the optimized rotation angles of the MoS2/PtS2 heterogeneous interfaces are 19.1°, 30.0° and 40.9°. It is found from the first principle simulation that the absolute passband amplitude of the refractive index, extinction coefficient, reflectivity and absorption coefficient curves under 30.0° rotation angle are 6–12 times higher than 19.1° and 40.9° rotation angles of the MoS2/PtS2 heterogeneous interfaces. Moreover, under the 30.0° twisting angle, the absorption coefficient in the absorption spectrum can reach to or above 105/cm. The absorption spectrum has a red-shift and a broadening effect with the tensile strain, from roughly 700 nm (0% externally strain) to 1050 nm (5% externally strain). The prominent optical properties of MoS2/PtS2 heterogeneous interface under 30° rotation angle still exist after taking into consideration the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effect. These results suggest that the MoS2/PtS2 heterogeneous interfaces will have great potential applications in tunable optoelectronic devices.

Optical Performance Analysis of Single Flow Through and Concentric Tube Receiver Coupled with a Modified CPC Collector Under Different Configurations
摘要： Compound parabolic concentrating (CPC) collectors have great potential to provide sustainable solar thermal energy for many applications operating in the medium temperature range. This paper presents the design, development and performance evaluation of a modified CPC collector integrated with an evacuated tube receiver. The optical performance of the designed CPC paired with concentric tube receiver is compared with that of a CPC coupled with single flow through evacuated tube receiver for stationary installation in the East-West and North-South directions. Ray tracing simulations of different configurations demonstrate that CPC coupled with single flow through receivers suffer high gap losses, especially at smaller incidence angles which are considerably alleviated by a concentric tube receiver arrangement. East-West installation of CPC paired with concentric tube receiver exhibited superior optical performance than all other configurations. The yearly average optical efficiency of CPC with concentric tube receiver was 5% higher than that of a single flow through receiver within the acceptance angle. A 60% truncated CPC coupled with concentric tube receiver emerged as the most effective design, which was fabricated for experimental testing. The tests conducted under actual outdoor tropical environmental conditions demonstrated that the experimental optical efficiency reached to about 69% in the case of N-S installation and 66.5% in an E-W arrangement. The experimental results closely match the simulation outcomes, which indicate the proposed performance prediction technique as instrumental for selecting the most effective configuration of CPC collectors for medium temperature heat supply.

Thermal Impact of LED Chips on Quantum Dots in Remote-Chip and On-Chip Packaging Structures
摘要： Light-emitting diode (LED) chips in quantum dot (QD)-converted LEDs serve simultaneously as a heat source and a heat sink, but it remains unclear which of these is the major factor that affects the operating temperature of QDs. Here, we investigated the thermal and optical performances of QD-converted LEDs using QD-on-chip and QD-remote-chip packaging structures, to better understand the thermal effect of LED chips on QDs. Our results indicated that the QD-on-chip structure achieved the same optical performance as the QD-remote-chip structure, while the former can save QD usage up to 75.9% owing to the higher absorption probability of QDs closer to the blue source. Most importantly, the QD-on-chip structure largely reduced the maximal surface temperature from 82.7 ?C to 60.2 ?C at 250 mA, and had a longer operating lifetime compared with the QD-remote-chip structure. Simulations revealed that the QD-remote-chip structure could suppress the heat transfer from chips to QDs; however, the hot spot remained in QDs, owing to the heavy conversion loss and low thermal conductivity of the silicone matrix; consequently, the QD-on-chip structure had better heat dissipation (lower temperature) for QDs closer to the chip that served as heat sinks. Therefore, it is suggested to place QDs near the heat sink with high thermal conductivity, such as the LED chip, for heat dissipation; this is better than removing QDs for blocking the heat generated by the LED chip.

White LEDs With High Optical Consistency Packaged Using 3D Ceramic Substrate
摘要： Packaging efficiency and optical performances are important indexes for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) packaging. In this letter, wafer-level WLEDs packaging were presented by printing phosphor on three-dimensional (3D) ceramic substrate to improve packaging efficiency and optical consistency. The 3D ceramic substrate was prepared by repeatedly electroplating copper cups on the planar direct plated copper (DPC) ceramic substrate. The phosphor concentration was adjusted to realize natural white light. The fabrication errors of the 3D ceramic substrate and the optical performances of WLED modules were analyzed to evaluate the optical consistency of the WLED modules packaged by using 3D ceramic substrate. Consequently, the fabrication errors of 3D ceramic substrate are less than 1%. When the phosphor concentration was set at 12.5 wt%, the packaged LEDs achieve a natural white light with luminous efficiency (LE) of 94.55 lm/W, correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5915 K, and chromaticity coordinate of (0.3166, 0.3345). The WLED modules exhibit small standard deviations in LE (1%), color rendering index (1%), correlated color temperature (98 K), and high reliability. The results indicate that the WLEDs packaged using 3D ceramic substrate have excellent optical consistency.
