Underwater Solar Cells Just Proved Themselves at 10 Meters Deep
A solar cell submerged in seawater sounds like a dead end. Sunlight fades fast below the surface, and the red and infrared wavelengths that conventional silicon panels are built to absorb vanish within the first couple of meters. Yet a team led by researchers at Yunnan University has now shown that perovskite solar cells can […]
Under water, sunlight becomes rapidly weaker and its spectrum changes. Researchers have now succeeded in operating specially adapted perovskite solar cells at a depth of ten metres in the South China Sea. The field tests show that such modules could supply sensors, cameras and other autonomous technology under water directly with energy in the future. Kunming (China). Sunlight only penetrates into water, because its intensity decreases with incr…
