It could be used to power cars and buildings too
Imagine a world where your smartphone charges itself simply by being exposed to sunlight, with no cords or power outlets required.
Researchers have long sought ways to integrate renewable energy into everyday objects, and this futuristic vision is now closer to reality, thanks to a breakthrough that could potentially allow devices to charge directly through their screens.
A research team at the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has developed transparent solar cells which can be embedded into the glass surfaces of mobile devices, cars, and buildings, offering a seamless and efficient way to generate power from sunlight.Eco-friendly future-energy
Led by Professor Kwanyong Seo, the transparent solar cell and module has a glass-like, colorless, and transparent appearance.
