Solar battery made from organic materials stores power for 48 hours with 90% retention
SMRTR summary
Scientists have developed an organic solar battery that absorbs sunlight and stores energy for over 48 hours. This lightweight device combines a solar cell and battery using a porous organic framework and water. It captures energy during the day and releases it as electricity after sunset, maintaining over 90% capacity after repeated cycles. This breakthrough offers sustainable off-grid energy storage without metals or rare elements, potentially revolutionizing portable and remote power applications.
