Improved performance of all-polymer solar cells
Solar cells are an important contributor to a renewable energy supply, but photovoltaic panel waste will quickly end up being an enormous problem. Now, in a study just recently released in Journal of Materials Chemistry A, scientists from Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) have checked out the science that may assist improve the utility of easily mass-producible, all-polymer-based solar cells.

Turning Heat Into Light Could Make Solar Panels 80% Efficient, Rice Researchers Say
Don’t get too excited. What follows is a report about theoretical research in the lab which is a long way from commercial viability, but the implications of that research are simply staggering. Heat is the enemy of today’s solar panels. If they get too hot, their efficiency plummets. Researchers are working on ways to siphon some of that heat off and use it for other purposes, like making hot water. Others are exploring elaborate cooling systems that would add cost and complexity to solar systems.
