Solar cells work 10 metres underwater, opening new power source for marine technology - Dailynewsegypt
Ten metres beneath the surface of the South China Sea, where sunlight is already much weaker than it is above the water, researchers attached solar cells to underwater robots and waited to see what would happen. After just two hours, the cells had not only continued operating but had generated enough electricity to charge lithium-ion batteries. The experiment, conducted off China’s Weizhou Islands, provides some of the strongest evidence yet tha…
Researchers find perovskite solar functions 10 meters below sea surface - pv magazine Global
Research from China deployed lead halide perovskites 10 meters below the surface of the South China Sea. The cells generated 324 mWh, enough to charge lithium-ion batteries, when submerged for two hours.

In the future, new underwater solar cells could supply submersible robots, sensors and buoys in the sea with environmentally friendly and sustainable energy.
Scientists have lowered solar cells to new depths, demonstrating that they can operate at depths of 10 metres below the surface of the South China Sea. A study published on September 11, in Joule magazine, showed that solar cells could generate 324 millilatt-hours of energy — enough to charge lithium-ion batteries — during two hours of flooding, and could continuously operate at depths of 10 metres or so for approximately 5.5 years. The results …
