The smart folks over at Northwestern University have managed to discover a way that could potentially see the solar cell market explode in a good (and big) way – by removing the liquid inside, hence stopping all risks of leakage. There is a new variation on the Grätzel solar cell which will do away with what is most commonly used at this point in time – a relatively short-lived organic dye, coming in the form of a solid state solar cell instead. The molecular dye in which the solid substance replaces is a corrosive form of material, hence running a risk of leakage, and being able to last for around 18 months.
Ubergizmo, Cheap and eco-friendly solar cell has plenty of potential from Northwestern University
