The future of solar
Although PV technology has been around for over 40 years, solar cells remain only 30% efficient. This means they only convert one-third of the energy harnessed from the sun into usable electricity. However, this may be about to change soon… Cells in solar modules are currently made of silicon, but there is a new Read more about The future of solar[…]
Why lithium-ion batteries work at all?
The first hours of a lithium-ion battery’s life largely determine just how well it will perform. In those moments, a set of molecules self-assembles into a structure inside the battery that will affect the battery for years to come. This component, known as the solid-electrolyte interphase or SEI, has the crucial job of blocking some Read more about Why lithium-ion batteries work at all?[…]
