Graphene Highly Efficient at Converting Light to Electricity

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 25, 2013 — Graphene is even more efficient at converting light to electricity than was previously known, making it an ideal building block for any device that relies on such conversions, a new international study has found. Researchers at the Institute of Photonic Science (ICFO), in collaboration with MIT in the US, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Germany and Graphenea SL of Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain, have demonstrated that graphene can convert a single photon of light into multiple electrons able to drive electric current. The discovery is an important one for next-generation...Read full article
