Scientists successfully tested solar cells 32 feet underwater in the South China Sea, demonstrating that enough sunlight penetrates ocean depths to generate electricity and potentially power future underwater sensors, vehicles, and research equipment. Read…
💡 Chinese scientists from Yunnan University have developed functional solar cells that operate 10 meters (32 feet) underwater in the South China Sea.
⚡ These "submarine solar cells," made with a special perovskite material, collected enough energy in two hours to charge lithium-ion batteries, a feat previously only achieved in very shallow water (2 meters or less).
🔬 The technology is designed to capture blue-green light wavelengths penetrating seawater and could power underwater sensors, cameras, and communication systems for an estimated five and a half years.
