Breakthrough in photovoltaic cells

Researchers at Stanford University (USA) said that they have invented a form of the world's first solar cell that, in theory, is capable of sticking to any surface.

The university's expert Chi Hwan Lee said his team has overcome the long-standing challenge in the solar power sector, that energy cells are hard-dry, always limited in the form of energy boards. heavy.

Specifically, thin films are usually fixed on hard surfaces made of a mixture of silicon and glass. With the "peeling and gluing" version of Stanford University, thin and flexible solar cell film, which helps reduce costs as well as lighten the weight of the energy board, according to a press release on Stanford University website. .

The researchers say that they have successfully bonded the film to paper, plastic and glass doors, among other surfaces. In theory, this energy cell can be attached to any surface with double-sided tape, which means you can put it on a helmet, mobile phone, window, electronic devices. Hand, roof, clothes .
