Spray surfaces that converts solar energy panels – Bolsamania.com

UK, specifically from the University of Sheffield, comes the first spray can transform any surface into a solar panel by a mineral called perovskite which has the property of absorbing light.

University scientists think that many costs of renewable electricity would be saved the way spray applied. Furthermore, the perovskite is a mineral composed primarily of calcium titanate and found in deposits in many parts of the world.

Previously, these scientists They had already tried a similar approach consisting of another spray with paint producing solar cells based on organic semiconductors. The fact that having a spray now perform similar characteristics but instead of organic semiconductors, the perovskite is used, is a more remarkable breakthrough speaking of a mineral that is much cheaper to obtain and process the silicon. Furthermore, the light absorbing layer can be extremely thin, of only one micron in contrast to 180 micrometers of silicon.



A solution for the real world

A “breakthrough” that will create solar panels in many technology products. Cars, mobile phones, laptops and many others having no flat surfaces can not fully incorporate rigid solar panels.

According to these scientists perovskite solar panels have an efficiency of up 20% from a thin layer, while panels silicon cells is 25%. Another quality perovskite panels is that you can apply in a car in the same way that when it is painted well and combine efficiency and design, reducing manufacturing costs and maintenance
