SOLAR - 3-D Solar Cells May Receive Big Boost Thanks To New Semiconductor Nano-Shish-Kebabs

A new type of nano-sized structure, looking something like a "nano-shish-kebab," has been developed by researchers at North Carolina State University. The seamless three-dimensional structure, consisting solely of germanium sulfide (GeS) crystals, could be useful in the development of 3-D solar cells, next-generation sensors, supercapacitors, and photodetectors.Looking like a row of nano-sheets run through by a nano-wire, it is actually one so ...
