Scientists have created a type of hybrid solar cell that harnesses both the sun's light and heat simultaneously to create up to 5-times more energy than traditional panels, thanks to photovoltaic cells with polymer films. Researchers are experimenting with various substances to hybridize the material solar cells are composed of to increase efficiency. A recent test by Eunkyoung Kim and colleagues used a clear, conductive polymer called 'PEDOT,' and the results were surprising to say the...
