Can you imagine wearing a T-shirt is that your mobile phone or a pair of jeans that recharges your iPod? What happens if you have an umbrella that has a TV? E 'il suono un po' too? Okay, I agree with you that it works. Research in photovoltaics and solar, but it has reached a point where it is determined possibilities.What organic photovoltaics? Organic photovoltaics or OPV for short, are the new types of semiconductors based on organic materials. Even if they are still under research, OPVs can be used as thin flexible sheets, and as such may be in fabric or paper. Due to the fact that they are flexible, are mass-produced at low cost. Thus, another result of cutting-edge research could be cost-effective production cost effective solar mass are semiconductor cells.What? Rest assured, regardless of whether the fund or not, which do not affect whether a solar charging station T-shirt is for you (if anything on the market). But I will try to explain in simple terms, it has a better idea of what we are talking about. The following is a brief description of semiconductors are. Semiconductors (organic or not) are materials which are too many free electrons, or lack of electrons. Semiconductors with too many free electrons are called "on N-type semiconductor" in the scientific types of people. Semiconductors, the electrons are not sufficient, as the "P-type". P-type semiconductor are "holes". Holes are places where the atom is "theoretically" should be an electron, but is not the case. (Which shows that the theory and reality do not always coincide.) The combination of materials that have these qualities, we are capable of electrical components such as transistors (transistors are devices used to regulate the electricity power generation). Some semiconductors are sensitive to light, if they stay together. These are semiconductors used in photovoltaic cells. If they are exposed to light, a small electrical current is generated. This is not a new discovery. But, as already mentioned, is again that we are capable of organic semiconductor materials. And that opens the door to a whole new set of possibilities. Incidentally, computer chips are generally made of semiconductors. So, this new discovery could provide some interesting applications in the field of computers. Humanized robot? Artificial intelligence? Who knows.
