Scientists Develop Highly Efficient Plastic-Based Solar Cell
South Korean scientists said Monday that they have created a highly efficient plastic-based power cell that can speed up commercial use of solar energy.The team led by Lee Kwang-hee at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), said the solar cells are designed to mimic the photovoltaic activities of plants, and reached an unprecedented energy efficiency rate of 6.2 percent.
If fully developed the solar cells, which can easily bend, could be attached to coats, bags, various electronic appliances and building windows.They used a new material that have "open circuit voltage" properties and titanium oxide to bring about high efficiency.
