When it rains, a conventional solar panel is useless. There is less radiation and, in addition, water is usually a hindrance. However, the team of the Institute of Materials Science of Seville (ICMS, CSIC and University of Seville) has proposed the opposite: to convert the drops into part of the fuel of the panel itself. Its proposal is a hybrid device that combines a solar cell of perovskita with a system capable of extracting electricity from …
So far, a grey sky has been the absolute final opponent for your domestic power production. As soon as thick clouds raise and the first drops fall, your plant on the roof is almost finished. But exactly this wet problem is now turning into a pretty ingenious energy source. The post Bad weather, full of battery: Researchers invent the solar cell for rainy days first appeared on inside digital.
Hybrid perovskite solar cell generates power from sun and rain
Researchers at ICMS in Seville have developed a hybrid perovskite solar cell that generates electricity from both sunlight and raindrops, using the photovoltaic and triboelectric effects. A fluorinated CFₓ polymer layer enables water resistance, triboelectric energy harvesting, and high light transparency without reducing solar cell efficiency.Researchers at the Institute of Materials Science and Technology (ICMS) in Seville, Spain, have develop…
