New transparent electrode using ultrathin gold film improves solar panels – SlashGear

Researchers from Penn State University have created a new ultrathin metal electrode enabling the creation of semitransparent perovskite solar cells that are highly efficient. The new solar cells can be coupled with traditional silicon cells to boost the performance of both devices significantly. Scientists on the project say their research is a step towards developing completely transparent solar cells.
Completely transparent solar cells could be a game-changing advance in green energy with the…
