Nanotubes light up solar cells

Researchers in the UK have made a new type of hybrid electrode from multiwalled carbon nanotubes and indium-tin oxide that could be used for solar cell applications. The nanotubes are directly grown on indium-tin oxide coated glass, a transparent electrode commonly employed in organic optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells and light-emitting diodes. The nanotube electrodes are highly transparent at longer wavelengths, making them ideal for harnessing light from the Sun.
