Powering the future: brand-new understandings right into exactly how alkali-metal doped flexible solar cells function
"When environmentally friendly, cost-effective, functional, as well as efficient solar cells are created, all thermal and also nuclear power plants will disappear, and solar cells installed over the ocean or in deep space perseverance our globe," states Professor Dong-Seon Lee of the Gwangju Institute Of Science And Technology in Korea. His extremely optimistic view of the future mirrors the visions of lots of researchers associated with the initiative to enhance solar cells.
