New solar film harnesses 30 per cent
Researchers combined specially-designed minute particles called quantum dots, three to four nanometres across, with a polymer to make a plastic that can detect energy in the infrared.
The film can convert up to 30 per cent of the sun’s power into usable, electrical energy. Today’s best plastic solar cells capture only about six per cent.
I wonder if this is at all similar to my previous post regarding Photoelectrochemical hydrogen production. It seems we are getting much better at harnessing energy.
