Comprehensive Review on Downconversion/Downshifting Silicate-Based Phosphors for Solar Cell Applications.
Review in ACS omega, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Insufficient utilization of the solar spectrum in commonly employed solar cells, stemming from a spectral mismatch between the solar spectrum and the solar cell's band gap, poses a barrier to enhancing solar cell efficiency. To overcome this challenge, downconverting silicate phosphors are employed in solar cells to capture the infrared spectrum of sunlight, thereby augmenting solar cell efficiency. Downconversion/downshifting involves in converting high-energy photons into one or two near-infrared (NIR) photons. Remarkably, silicate-based downconverting phosphors enhance solar cell sensitization, light scattering, antireflectivity, and stability. This review delves into the various energy transfer mechanisms utilized in silicate phosphors. The key aspects covered in this review encompass the development of silicate phosphors that emit NIR light and their synthesis process. The working principle of the solar cell and its parameters are discussed. The impacts of silicate phosphor size, coverage, volume concentration, and arrangement on solar cell performance are also explored. Furthermore, the study addresses several intriguing approaches for developing innovative silicate phosphors to enhance solar cell performance.
