A new solar cell could generate electricity underwater
Monday, September 14, 2026
Researchers have developed a solar cell design that generates electricity underwater by using perovskite materials with improved durability in water environments. The primary challenge addressed by the research was extending the operational lifespan of perovskite solar cells when exposed to moisture, rather than developing the perovskite technology itself. No specific institutional affiliation, researcher names, publication date, or performance metrics were provided in the source material.
