A Safer Cheaper Solar Cell Debuts
October 5, 2016 | Leave a Comment
North Carolina State University use a food additive to make an efficient, semi-printed plastic solar cell. Better yet the new solar cells can be created without the use of environmentally hazardous halogen solvents and can be manufactured at room temperature, which has strong implications for large-scale commercial production. Plastic solar cells, or organic photovoltaics, are […]
