Collecting light with artificial moth eyes
Dusseldorf, Germany (SPX) Jun 20, 2014 - All over the world researchers are investigating solar cells which imitate plant photosynthesis, using sunlight and water to create synthetic fuels such as hydrogen. Empa researchers have developed such a photoelectrochemical cell, recreating a moth's eye to drastically increase its light collecting efficiency. The cell is made of cheap raw materials - iron and tungsten oxide. Rust - iron ... more
