How the World’s Blackest Material Could Improve Solar Energy
“Scientists recently unveiled the world’s blackest material — and the internet can’t get enough.
Vantablack is a “special coating made from millions of carbon nanotubes, each one measuring around 20 nanometres (roughly 3,500 times smaller than a human hair) by 14 to 50 microns” that was first developed by a team of British researchers in 2014.
One group that’s especially interested in Vantablack is the renewable energy sector. That’s because the material could significantly increase the efficiency of solar cells that convert sunlight into electricity…”
