A researchers from the George School of Georgies and Purdue have developed a new solar cell derived from plant natural substances such as trees. The renewable raw material matrix used by the organic solar cell. It can be simply recovered after use.

This study led by Engineering Professor, Engineering, Engineering, led by Sustainable, renewable solar cell technology assistance research. "The development of solar technology organic substrate has been continuously in progress, but also serves a good help for future applications. "Kippelen explained that" organic solar cells should be recycled, on the other hand, we also solve the current problem, that is, reduce the dependence on mineral fuel, the latter cannot be simple after the battery life is over.

deal with. "The organic solar cell is made of glass and plastic, both of which are easier to recycle work. Kippelen's solar cells are composed of plant cell membrane nanocrystals (CNC), which is plants from similar trees.

After this battery is terminated, the recycling work is only immersed in water at normal temperature. After a few minutes of wetting, the CNC matrix will dissolve, simply separated from the solar cell. The CNC substrate is transparent, it is transparent.

Although 2.7% of energy efficiency compared to other solar cell technology is relatively low, its environmental efficiency and simple recycling characteristics are still quite attractive. In the future, researchers expect to enhance the performance of this battery product.

"Our next plan is to raise its energy conversion efficiency to more than 10%, reaching the same level as solar cells with glass, plastic make substrates. "Kippenlen said. .
