Chinese scientists produce paper-like, foldable solar cells

A group of scientists has developed highly-elastic silicon solar cells that fold like paper. The thin and flexible solar-powered material can be used in areas ranging from aerospace to electronic wearables, according to the Chinese-based research team. Silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells account for an estimated 95 per cent of the market and have been used … Continue reading Chinese scientists produce paper-like, foldable solar cells
