New washable solar-powered fabric developed in United Kingdom
The scientific group from NTU (England) has proven that a wearable PV device can be integrated into clothes. The innovative fabric has been based on µc-Si cells embedded into fibrous textile by means of super-thin copper wire. The newly created material is claimed to keep its efficiency after 6,000 abrasions, 25 handwashing and 15 machine washing cycles.

A brand-new principle for heat-recovery solar cells
Scientists in Japan have actually shown a brand-new idea for a 'heat-recovery' solar cell, which they assert has the prospective to surpass the academic restriction for cell effectiveness. They state, nevertheless, that an appropriate product for the power filtering system layers is yet to be recognized. The cell is outfitted with a 100-micron thick silicon absorber, 2 electrodes as well as carrier-energy filtering system layers positioned in between the absorber and also electrodes.
