U.S. researchers found that tobacco plants using solar cell technology to produce synthetic
Battery.com.cn News: Recently, researchers at the University of California, "Nano Letters" (Nano Letters) published an article on the introduction of tobacco plants to help rid the world of the human fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, gas, etc.). The authors Matt Francis (Matt Francis) and his colleagues described the use tobacco plants to produce synthetic solar cell technology: to deal with ordinary tobacco plants to produce synthetic photovoltaic and photochemical cells - extracted from tobacco plants lighting characteristics with extracts dissolved in solution, and then splash in glass or plastic substrates, thus generating solar panels.
Francis said in the article, the tobacco plant has experienced numerous years of growth, has become a very efficient "solar collector." The researchers developed a virus that infects tobacco plants - genetically altered tobacco mosaic virus, and then sprayed on tobacco plants. This virus is not as common as the virus for gene replication, so that plant growth in a bad state, but can make the plant-chromophore, forming a unique micro-structure, that is, a chromophore to overlap on top of another way to grow until they are arranged in a few hundred nanometers long rod. The distance between the chromophore can just keep the flow between them, in the collection and use of sunlight has a unique advantage.
This approach with the traditional method of making solar cells compared to more environmentally friendly, environmentally friendly production processes not only at, and for tobacco growers, there are many benefits. Although the use of tobacco plants producing synthetic solar cells without silicon solar cell efficiency, but they are biodegradable and can be temporary or one-time capacity of a variety of uses, while the technology is relatively inexpensive price.
