Infrared Polymer Cells
Infrared cells preferentially absorb light in the infrared range rather than the visible wavelength range. As of 2012, such cells can be made nearly 70% transparent to the latter. The cells allegedly can be made in high volume at low cost using solution processing. The cells employ silver nanowire/titanium dioxide composite films as the top transparent electrode, replacing conventional opaque metal electrodes. With this combination, 4% power-conversion efficiency has been achieved.

Famous quotes containing the word cells:
“Madness is locked beneath. It goes into tissues, is swallowed by the cells. The cells go mad. Cancer is their flag. Cancer is the growth of madness denied.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
