Inkjet printing thin, light and flexible solar cells to power novell electronic devices

Posted on by Haptic

Solar cells can now be made so thin, light and flexible that they can rest on a soap bubble. The new cells, which efficiently capture energy from light, could offer an alternative way to power novel electronic devices, such as medical skin patches, where conventional energy sources are unsuitable. “The tremendous developments in electronic skin Read more about Inkjet printing thin, light and flexible solar cells to power novell electronic devices[…]

Key step towards cheaper and more effective solar energy

Posted on by Haptic

A new study reports the highest efficiency ever recorded for full roll-to-roll printed perovskite solar cells (PSCs), marking a key step on the way to cheaper and more efficient ways of generating solar energy. A team at Swansea University’s SPECIFIC Innovation and Knowledge Centre, led by Professor Trystan Watson, has reported using a roll-to-roll fabrication Read more about Key step towards cheaper and more effective solar energy[…]
