New material for Solar Sysem

For the sake of reducing the pollution when producing electricity by fossil fuel or nuclear power plant, a lot of specialists have been researching in the solar power. The major problem they have to conquer is the efficiency of generating power. The cost is too expensive to generate electricity comparing to the other kinds of methods.

Recently an elite team at Ohio State University has an new discovery:

Whereas other materials only catch a small range of light frequencies, and therefore only a small fraction of the potential energy, the new invention is capable of absorbing all the energy contained in sunlight. According to team leader, Prof. Malcolm Chisolm, “There are other such hybrids out there, but the advantage of our material is that we can cover the entire range of the solar spectrum.”
