America using carbon nanotubes to create highly efficient solar cells
Cornell University researchers have used carbon nanotubes to replace the traditional silicon tube, to produce highly efficient solar cells.
The key is to use this technology to replace the traditional silicon-controlled carbon nanotubes Zaochu photodiodes, which are basic components of solar cells. Researchers using different colors of laser diodes of this study found that, in the process of conversion of light energy into electricity, iBook G4 14-inch battery can double current intensity.
The researchers said carbon nanotube is an ideal photodiode, because it can take full advantage of excess light energy, whereas the traditional solar cells in the excess energy, often in the form of heat loss.
The study was published in the U.S. “Science” magazine online edition. Papers first author, graduate student at Cornell University in Senjiaboer, said: “We not only find a new material PowerBook G4 12 inch battery, but will put it to the application of solar cells made of the real.”
However, the researchers pointed out that they currently only produced in the laboratory a highly efficient solar cell, but mass production of cheap and reliable next-generation solar cells and need to conduct more in-depth study.
