Dust on solar panels reduces their output significantly, so they need to be kept clean. Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say they have a solution. The post Scientists figured out a way to clean dust off of solar panels without using water appeared first on Electrek.

The traces are for solar cells of 7.7% Researchers led by MIT professor Daniel Nocera have produced an “artificial leaf”—a solar water-splitting cell producing hydrogen and oxygen that operates in near-neutral pH conditions, both with and without connecting wires. solar-to-fuels systems.

Using a new kind of hydrogel material, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have pulled water out of thin air at temperatures low enough to be achieved with sunlight. Atmospheric water harvesting draws water from humidity in the air. The material is a hydrogel, a polymer network that naturally retains a lot of water.

A team of researchers at MIT has described a framework for efficiently coupling the power output of a series-connected string of single-band-gap solar cells to an electrochemical process that produces storable fuels. Watson Research Center) and former MIT graduate student Casandra Cox (now at Harvard). Earlier post.)

Daniel Nocera and his associates have found another formulation, based on inexpensive and widely available materials, that can efficiently catalyze the splitting of water molecules using electricity. Earlier post.). Earlier post.). Materials for the new catalyst are even more abundant and inexpensive than those required for the first.
