Good news in the aftermath of the rejection of the referendum on the sea platforms, for which you have spent environmentalists and the same regions (promoters of the referendum). In the future we will be able to have windows in the house are able not only to pass the sunlight as they do for millennia, but also store energy for the needs of the home itself. All this thanks to a material that will revolutionize the future: graphene . A material adaptable for multiple uses, including its conduction of electricity. Let’s see how it has come to this discovery.
Windows graphene capable of storing solar energy
In this discovery has arrived thanks to the cooperation between two Italian researchers: Francis Bonaccorso , the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), and Aldo Di Carlo , the university of Tor Vergata. Their invention was already published in Nanoscale . Their photovoltaic systems graphene are based on the so-called dye-sensitized solar cell technology (also known by the acronym DSSC ), used on the panels. But the real news is that replaced platinum with graphene . It also means breaking down the current costs of ten thousand times . Graphene, in the form of ink is applied to the panel using spray deposition . A solution that can find easy to use even in the field of industry, also for its affordability.
Photovoltaic graphene, the limits to be overcome
The limit still to be overcome concerns the performance a photovoltaic-like base of graphene, because the electrolyte used (iodine-iodide) is suitable for platinum but not precisely for graphene. Once you locate the electrolyte suitable for this material, also the energy performance will be improved . The all, at drastically reduced costs. We look forward to you exceed those limits as soon as possible, for their widespread use. In recent days, however, it came a very important news for Italy: our country turns out to be what it full advantage of the solar energy for its energy needs.
