Explore GizmagCarbon nanotubes used to build a near-ideal efficiency solar cell
The carbon nanotube photodiode forces electrons one by one, resulting in much higher-efficiency energy conversion.
Article Summary
Today's photovoltaic technology, while certainly promising, offers very poor efficiency because of inherent issues in its working mechanism. Using carbon nanotubes, however, Cornell University researchers now hope to lead the way to the next generation of highly efficient solar panels.
