Researchers at MIT have captured he near-infrared part of the solar spectrum. Their first "all-carbon" solar cells, reported in Advance Materials
this month, uses carbon instead of silicon as the primary material. The
cells work by employing carbon nanotubes and C60--also known as
buckyballs--to turn infrared light into an electric current.
There is a lot of the light spectrum that doesn’t register to the human
eye (or to conventional solar panels). A new device which could go right
on top of existing panels, helps get more of the energy from the sun.
