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.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Most of the activity is in Europe , where there are at least 10 major offshore wind and hydrogen projects , including demonstration systems being built or planned in the North Sea, the Atlantic, and off the coast of Ireland. It turns out that the former option is better.
