Polymer-tuned perovskite boosts underwater solar cell efficiency

Original: Polymer-tuned perovskite creates high-efficiency underwater solar cells

Researchers report that a polymer-tuned perovskite material has enabled high-efficiency underwater solar cells, according to Physics World. By modifying the perovskite with a polymer, the cells can operate effectively in the light conditions found underwater, opening possible uses in subsea sensors, marine monitoring equipment and autonomous underwater vehicles powered directly by ambient light rather than batteries or cables.

Why now: New materials science research suggests a practical route to powering underwater devices with sunlight, which is of interest to marine technology and energy fields.
