Producing solar power with impure silicon
Researchers have developed a technique that allows the use of less pure silicon in solar cells
27-Oct-2014 -
By using silicon fibers coated in glass, researchers have been able to make solar cells from silicon that is 1000 times more impure, and thus cheaper, than the current industry.
"We're using less expensive raw materials in smaller amounts, we have fewer production steps, and have potentially ...
