The future will be made of celle sun care, yes, but super light and very small. In fact, MIT researchers announced to the world that they had created the most solar cell light and thin as always, which could easily be placed on any material and surface, such as t-shirts, smartphones and sheets of paper.
To always have a source of clean energy. To show everyone that cells are really very light, scientists placed the solar cell on a soap bubble, without letting it burst.
The innovative technique involves creating the solar cell, the substrate that supports it and protective coating in one process. They used a flexible polymer called parylene for the substrate and coating, and an organic material called DBP as the light-absorbing layer.
Il parylene It is used nowadays to protect medical devices implanted and circuits printed by environmental damage. The new solar cell, certainly the one of the future, has a thickness 50 times less than that of a human hair and 1.000 times less than that of a traditional solar cell with a glass substrate. And it converts light solar into electricity with the same efficiency! The solar cell could really use anywhere. For this we have to thank the research, funded by the National Science Foundation and Eni SpA, through the Eni-MIT Solar Frontiers Center.
