Self-Charging Solar Cells: Better Than Batteries?
2013-06-12 21:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: A research team at the University of Wisconsin in Madison has demonstrated the viability of a design for solar panels that can simultaneously generate and store electrons harvested from sunlight in a single device. Like other solar panels, the new solar cells would use some electrons from light created as electricity. Unlike other solar cells, the panels would also store electrons on zinc oxide nanowires coated with polyvinylidene fluoride polymer (PVDF). The energy stored during the day could...

Recyclable, Efficient Solar Cells Created Using Trees
2013-03-27 21:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Researchers have developed recyclable, efficient solar cells using natural substrates from plants like trees. Georgia Institute of Technology and Purdue University researchers wrote in the journal Scientific Reports about how the solar cells can be quickly recycled in water at the end of their lifecycle. The team`s solar cells are capable of reaching a power conversion efficiency of 2.7 percent. During the recycling process, the solar cells are immersed in water at room temperature, and within...
