Graphene Layer Adds All-Weather Efficiency To Solar Panels
Abstract:
Let’s be honest. No one likes an epic overachiever. In the nanotechnology world, no one material has been more deserving of that title than the innocent monolayer of carbon, graphene. Touted to be the next big thing in batteries, reinforced materials and nanoelectronics, it has now proven itself to have the magical power of making solar panels work efficiently even in the wet, dreary greyness that is the British Summer – no, really. We had what could almost be described as a monsoon earlier today – and it is June tomorrow!
