AB  - Conventional luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) usually only have the ability 
      to absorb solar energy and convert it to electricity but are not able to regulate 
      the transmitted light. Herein, a multistate thermoresponsive smart window (SW) 
      based on LSC has been fabricated, in which the stimuli-responsive host layer 
      consists of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and ethylene glycol solution (EGS) 
      microdroplets stacking with LSC layer-based on near-infrared (NIR) 
      CuInSe(2-x)S(x)/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) and PDMS matrix. As-synthesized 
      CISSe/ZnS QDs with broad NIR absorption in LSC exhibit controllable emission 
      spectra over 833-1088 nm and high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield from 45 to 
      83%. Coupling with Si solar cells as a reference, optimized LSC-SW devices with 
      dimensions of 5 x 5 x 0.9 cm(3) exhibit higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) 
      of 1.19-1.36% with increased temperature from 0 to 50  degrees C than those of sole LSC 
      and SW devices. The corresponding visible light transmissions are regulated from 
      75.1 to 48.1% accordingly. The improvement of PCEs in an opaque state is mainly 
      due to enhanced absorption of QDs originating from rescattered photons from the 
      EGS/PDMS layer, leading to more emitted photons reaching photovoltaics. This work 
      is expected to bring up new opportunities for applications in greenhouses, 
      building facades, and energy-efficient smart windows.
