Researchers develop new ultra-thin, flexible solar cells
• http://www.redorbit.comA team of engineers at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea have reportedly developed a new kind of ultra-thin, bendable solar cell capable that could be used to power fitness trackers, smart glasses and other kinds of weara
The design, development and performance of a flexible mono-crystalline silicon solar cell is presented. Scientists have developed new solar cells thinner than human hair and flexible enough to wrap around a pencil that could power wearable electronics...
The efficiency of the device at converting sunlight to electricity has been tested. Standard photovoltaics are usually hundreds of times thicker and even most other thin photovoltaics are two to four times thicker. Reference: http://www.alfa-chemistry.com/services/discovery-services.html
