Graphene solar cells are now one step closer to reality, thanks to a new discovery made by researchers at the HZB Institute for Silicon Photovoltaics. The discovery: the many impressive properties of graphene, such as extreme conductivity and “complete” transparency for example, are apparently completely unaffected by the application of … [continued]
3-D graphene can function as an effective — and very economical — substitute for the platinum that is commonly used in dye-sensitized solar cells, according to new research from Michigan Technological University. By substituting the newly created and relatively cheap material known as three-dimensional graphene for the very expensive and … [continued]
Graphene micro-sheets may be considerably more toxic to human cells than was previously thought, according to new research from Brown University. The new research has found that the sharp edges of graphene sheets can easily pierce cell membranes, and then after piercing the membranes, be pulled into the cell where … [continued]
