New Liquid Crystal Elastomer Can Boost Conversion Rate of PV Cells

A new-type liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) has been developed, with the potential for application in PV cells to boost the latter’s conversion rate, thanks its phototropism feature. The technology has been developed by researchers at Wyss Institute of Harvard University, who first manage the molecular arrangement of LCE via magnetic field (exposure to different magnetic […]
