Solar panels<\/strong> may have their days numbered if successful r<\/strong>esearch at the State University of North Carolina, in which artificial leaves made \u200b\u200bup of an aqueous gel and light-sensitive substances can generate electricity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThese leaves<\/strong><\/span> somewhat mimic the photosynthesis process<\/strong> and would be an alternative to existing solar panels begin to populate our roofs, made from silicon.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

According to research from the University of North Carolina State, the artificial leaves<\/strong> can create electricity even better solar panels<\/strong>. These new devices are composed of a water-based gel, which is combined with light sensitive substances – such as chlorophyll – to mimic photosynthesis. While solar panels are made from silicon, the leaves are much greener and less expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n

……….. <\/span><\/p>\n

The leaves are covered with artificial materials such as graphite or carbon nanotubes. The sun’s rays activate the light-sensitive molecules, creating electricity. The resemblance to<\/strong> nature is that plants perform the same procedure to synthesize the sugars they need to grow.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
