Scientists test underwater solar panels that work 10 meters beneath the waves —breakthrough perovskite tech could support self-powered marine drones
Scientists have developed solar panels that can work up to 10 meters underwater The panels can capture up to 324 mWh of energy at that depth Each device is expected to last up to five and a half years at a time A lot of devices are deployed underwater for research and exploration purposes, but powering them all can prove to be difficult, especially if they're under the waves for a considerable period of time. A new scientific paper, however, has…
If commercial silicon cells are submerged to a depth of ten meters, their efficiency plummets. So researchers developed perovskite cells that also perform below the surface.
A scientific team from Yunnan University in China, led by scientist Simin Ma, has developed innovative perovskite solar cells adapted to work in the depths of the sea. Unlike traditional silicon, whose efficiency is quickly reduced by water, perovskite allows the chemical composition to be adjusted to absorb specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the sea surface. Impressive results in testing […] The post Great progress in technology: Chin…
