The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Researchers from Yunnan University successfully used perovskite-based solar cells to generate electricity at a depth of 10 meters in the ocean.
- The system effectively charged batteries and powered an LED panel despite the low light conditions found at that depth.
- Traditional silicon solar cells struggle in underwater environments because they rely on red light that is absorbed by water.
- This new technology uses a material tuned to capture the blue-green light that penetrates deeper into the ocean.
- The success of this experiment marks a step toward harnessing renewable energy sources in marine environments.
