New Innovation: Cheaper Solar Energy
New Iron Molecule Provides Cheaper Solar Energy
Renewable Energy Innovation from Sweden's Lund University
Researchers at Lund University have created an iron molecule that works in a dual capacity: a photocatalyst to produce fuel and in solar cells to produce electricity.
The results indicate that the iron molecule could replace the more expensive rare metals used today that considerably increase the cost of solar cells.
The research shows that by using advanced molecule design they can replace the expensive metals with iron which is common and cheap.
Their research has demonstrated that the iron molecule captures and utilizes the energy from the sun. It glows long enough for the scientists to see the light at room temperature with the naked eye.
This research study was just published in the journal Science. It has the potential of significant positive impact on the solar energy industry. For more on energy innovation, go to my Amazon Author's Page at amazon.com/author/ekane
