Stanford team increases power of corrosion-resistant solar cells; advance for solar fuels

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Stanford, with colleagues at University College Cork in Ireland, have shown how to increase the power of corrosion-resistant solar cells, setting a record for solar energy output under water. Four years ago, McIntyre's lab made solar cells resistant to corrosion in water. —Scheuermann et al.
