"It's not clear exactly what the chemical reactions are,
but they lead to the formation of gold nanoparticles that drill nanoholes at varying depths into the wafer." Wow! Golden nano-drillers.. Trained to make us very black PV cells.. This all sounds great. I hope they sell the process to PV makers for a reasonable price. Since the process seems so inexpensive and it's easy to retrofit a line with the Golden bath, I can see the new technology giving PV a real boost in the market.. Just hope they do it before I buy a bunch of old-tech panels.. |
