Printable solar cells a step closer with new design principles
(WorldNews Environment)
 


Researchers have found out why new kinds of solar materials are so good at harvesting light - and have provided design rules for making them better. This opens up the opportunity to design flexible solar cells, which could be used in buildings and clothing. Traditional solar panels are made from hard, silicon-based materials that are efficient but relatively expensive and not very adaptable. New `organic` solar cells are instead much more flexible - both in terms of how they can be tailored by tweaking the chemistry, and how they can be physically bent. There is great potential for organic solar cells to be integrated into buildings and vehicles, or even be incorporated into the fabrics that...
