Researchers at the University of Surrey's Advanced Technology Institute have successfully created a carbon nanotube photovoltaic solar cell with record efficiency which promises low manufacturing cost and could transform the economics of energy production.
Researchers at the University of Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute have reported a new material consisting of polymer-wrapped carbon nanotubes that has a unique combination of properties related to light capture, efficient use of electrical energy and manufacturability. It can replace commonly-used polymers which have limited lifetimes due to moisture absorption. The potential of this material…
