Solar Energy News
New Solar Cell Mimics Self-Repairing Plants
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 6, 2011 — Researchers are creating a type of solar cell designed to self-repair the same way natural photosynthetic systems in plants do, by using carbon nanotubes and DNA. The approach is aimed at increasing service life and reducing cost. “We’ve created artificial photosystems using optical nanomaterials to harvest solar energy that is converted to electrical power,” said Jong Hyun Choi, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University. The design...
