AB  - Adhesive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films were developed to increase the 
      performance of photovoltaic devices. The films combined two separate features of 
      moth-eye patterns to reduce the reflection of incident light at the film surface 
      and luminescent down-shifting (LDS) CdZnS/ZnS-core/shell quantum dots (QDs) to 
      convert ultraviolet (UV) radiation into visible light at 445 nm. The films were 
      both flexible and self-adhesive, easily attachable to any surface of a solar cell 
      module. By simply attaching the developed films on high-efficiency GaAs solar 
      cells, the short circuit current density and power conversion efficiency of the 
      solar cells increased to 33.8 mA cm(-2) and 28.7%, by 1.1 mA cm(-2) and 0.9 
      percentage points in absolute values, respectively. We showed that the 
      enhancement of the GaAs solar cells was attributed to both the anti-reflection 
      (AR) properties of the moth-eye patterns and the LDS of QDs using a scattering 
      matrix method and external quantum efficiency measurements. The developed films 
      are versatile in application for solar cells, and expected to aid in overcoming 
      limits of material absorption and device structures.
