Chinese researchers tested solar cells designed to operate underwater, and were able to generate electricity within 10 metres below the surface.
Perovskite solar cells supplied electricity in the South China Sea even at a depth of ten metres. The field test was conducted at 324 mWh in two hours. However, the often mentioned 34.71 percent efficiency comes from a laboratory test.
Thanks to the perovskite material, Chinese scientists have developed solar cells that work stably in a seawater environment at a depth of 10 meters.
Scientists test underwater solar panels that work 10 meters beneath the waves —breakthrough perovskite tech could support self-powered marine drones
Scientists have developed solar panels that can work up to 10 meters underwater The panels can capture up to 324 mWh of energy at that depth Each device is expected to last up to five and a half years at a time A lot of devices are deployed underwater for research and exploration purposes, but powering them all can prove to be difficult, especially if they're under the waves for a considerable period of time. A new scientific paper, however, has…
