Ua paʻi ka makasina "Nature" i kahi ala hou i hoʻomohala ʻia e ke Kulanui o Michigan ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, e hoʻohuli ana i nā electrons e "hele ma waena" i nā mea kūlohelohe.fullerenes, ʻoi aku ma mua o nā palena i manaʻoʻiʻo mua ʻia.Ua hoʻonui kēia haʻawina i ka hiki o nā mea kūlohelohe no ka hana solar cell a me ka semiconductor, a i ʻole e hoʻololi i nā lula pāʻani o nā ʻoihana pili.

ʻAʻole e like me nā cell solar inorganic, ka mea i hoʻohana nui ʻia i kēia mau lā, hiki ke hana ʻia nā mea kūlohelohe i nā mea kūʻai kalapona maʻalahi, e like me nā plastics.Hiki i nā mea hana ke hana nui i nā coils o nā waihoʻoluʻu like ʻole a me ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana a laminate iā lākou me ka leʻaleʻa a kokoke i kēlā me kēia ʻili.ma.Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka maikaʻi ʻole o ka lawe ʻana i nā mea kūlohelohe ua keʻakeʻa i ka holomua o ka noiʻi pili.I loko o nā makahiki, ua ʻike ʻia ka maikaʻi ʻole o nā mea organik, akā ʻaʻole kēia ka hihia.Ua ʻike nā haʻawina hou e hiki i nā electrons ke hoʻoneʻe i kekahi mau kenimika i kahi ʻāpana lahilahi o ka fullerene, he mea kupaianaha.I loko o nā ʻenekini organik i kēia manawa, hiki i nā electrons ke hele wale i nā haneli nanometer a i ʻole.

Ke neʻe nei nā electrons mai kekahi ʻātoma a i kekahi, e hana ana i ke au i loko o ke kelepona lā a i ʻole ka mea uila.I loko o nā pūnaewele solar inorganic a me nā semiconductors ʻē aʻe, hoʻohana nui ʻia ke silika.ʻO kāna pūnaewele atomika paʻa paʻa e hiki ai i nā electrons ke hele maʻalahi.Eia nō naʻe, he nui nā mea paʻa paʻa i waena o nā molekala pākahi e paʻa i nā electrons.He mea olaola kēia.Nawaliwali make.

Eia naʻe, hōʻike nā ʻike hou e hiki ke hoʻoponopono i ka conductivity o nanomea piha pihama muli o ka noi kiko'ī.ʻO ka neʻe manuahi o nā electrons i nā semiconductor organik he hopena lōʻihi loa.No ka laʻana, i kēia manawa, pono e uhi ʻia ka ʻili o ka cell solar me kahi electrode conductive e hōʻiliʻili i nā electrons mai kahi i hana ʻia ai nā electrons, akā ʻae nā electrons neʻe manuahi e hōʻiliʻili i nā electrons ma kahi mamao mai ka electrode.Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, hiki i nā mea hana ke hōʻemi i nā electrodes conductive i loko o nā pūnaewele ʻike ʻole ʻia, e hoʻokaʻawale ana i ke ala no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā cell transparent ma nā puka makani a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe.

Ua wehe ʻia nā ʻike hou no nā mea hoʻolālā o nā cell solar organik a me nā mea semiconductor, a ʻo ka hiki ke hoʻoili uila mamao e hāʻawi i nā mea he nui no ka hoʻolālā hāmeʻa.Hiki iā ia ke kau i nā pūnaewele lā ma nā mea e pono ai i kēlā me kēia lā e like me ke kūkulu ʻana i nā facades a i ʻole puka makani, a hoʻoulu i ka uila ma ke ʻano haʻahaʻa a ʻike ʻole ʻia.
