Solar energy is one of the free energies which the nature is providing us and the scientists and researchers are trying to efficiently use the solar energy. The researchers at the Berkeley has found out a new way of making solar cells which would be cheap,energy efficient and also flexible.
The researchers at the U.S department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California at Berkeley have come up with a way to fabricate solar cells from low cost and flexible materials.This new design grows up optically activated semi conductors in an 2D arrays of vertical Nano-pillars which were measured to be a billionth of a meter.
Aluminum substrate forms a forest of Cadmium Sulfide nanopillars and also serves as a bottom electrode.Embedded in a clear cadmium telluride and a equipped with a top electrode of copper and gold forms an inexpensive and efficient solar cell.
