Punching holes in opaque solar cells turns them transparent
Dec 14, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Researchers in Korea have found an effective and inexpensive strategy to transform solar cells from opaque to transparent. Existing transparent solar cells tend to have a reddish hue and lower efficiency, but by punching holes that are around 100 µm in diameter (comparable in size...
