Simplifying Solar Cells with a New Mix of Materials

Wednesday, January 27, 2016 - 16:50 in Physics & Chemistry

An international research team has simplified the steps to create highly efficient silicon solar cells by applying a new mix of materials to a standard design. Arrays of solar cells are used in solar panels to convert sunlight to electricity. The special blend of materials eliminates the need for a process known as doping that steers the device's properties by introducing foreign atoms to its electrical contacts.
