dc.description.abstract	This study focuses on synthesizing the heavy metal-free ancient Egyptian blue (EB; CaCuSi4O10) dye using a facile ceramic method for luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) application. XRD, SEM and EDX results confirmed that this well-crystallized material is successfully synthesized. Optical studies revealed that EB has a high Stokes shift and possesses an average lifetime of 110.50 ls with a quantum yield of 12.93%. Finally, an EB-integrated LSC was fabricated that exhibits a power conversion efficiency (g) of 0.15% and an optical conversion efficiency (gopt) of 1.21%, which are the highest values reported so far using EB.	en_US
