Graphene in solar panels allows the solar panels to work even during the toughest weather. Researchers from the Ocean University of China, claims that graphene-based solar cells could draw out energy from raindrops that fall on to the panel by sucking the minimal amount of salt in the liquid.
Since scientists and researchers are stretching graphene’s performance to actively collecting energy from rainwater, they were able to produce hundreds of microvolts from the water and reach 6.53 percent solar to electricity ratio efficiency from the solar panel. Conclusion
Graphene-coated solar cells function just as expected in sunny conditions, transmitting photons through and creating electricity from the movement of electrons through the thin film. The graphene layer on top, which is only one atom thick, does not interfere at all with the solar cell's usual function during sunshine.
It's not the first time graphene has been used to boost solar energy technologies: earlier this year, a team from the UK was able to create a graphene-based material that's very effective at absorbing ambient heat and light, and which could eventually lead to solar panels that can work with the diffuse sunlight that finds its way indoors.
Research on solar cells containing in its structure graphene however, are still at lab oratory scale. This is due to both lack the ability to produce large-sized graphene and reproducibility of its parameters. Graphene calls great interest throughout the international scientific community. The first
graphene. The study showed that the solar cells CeG-Si are more stable in air which is an important property when it comes to the use of photovoltaic cell. Also important parameter of cells is the fill factor FF. This parameter r eached 75.5%, which represents increase of 25% compared to cells without carbon nanotubes .
