Spray On Solar Cell Breakthrough
Published: January 24, 2005
Always running out of battery power with your cell phone? Thanks to a new invention by researchers at the University of Toronto that may be a problem of the past. Scientists there have invented a flexible plastic solar cell that turns the sun’s invisible, infrared rays into a power supply - no matter what the weather.
The new solar material can be sprayed on any surface, such as clothes, and with the nanotechnology this is converted into power. Hydrogen powered cars could also be coated with the spray to recharge batteries as it drives.
It’s thought this invention could be five times more efficient than the current solar cell technology.
