Atom-Thin Photovoltaic Sheets

Atom-Thin Photovoltaic Sheets

Scientists at MIT have recently invented a new kind of photovoltaic materials that are a thousand times thinner than the traditional silicon cells. These new cells can increase the solar panel’s energy conversion efficiency, and lower the cost of manufacturing. Made with Graphene and Molybdenum disulfide, this new cell is barely the thickness of a molecule – resulting in a solar panel that is thinner and the lighter than current solar panels on the market today.
