Researchers at UCLA have invented a "high-performance solar cell" that
is mostly transparent, opening the possibility of skylights and windows
that generate electricity, the school announced on Sunday.
A team of UCLA chemists and biochemists said their "high-performance,
visibly transparent polymer solar cells'' opens up new possibilities for
energy generation and architecture.
We are excited by this new invention on transparent solar cells,
which applied to our recent advances in transparent conducting windows
to fabricate these devices," said Paul S. Weiss, the director of the
California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA and UC Santa Barbara.
The study's co-authors are Weiss, post-doctoral researcher Rui Zhu,
and doctoral students Chun-Chao Chen, Letian Dou, Choong-Heui Chung,
Tze-Bin Song and Steve Hawks.
