Instead of using thick layers of crystalline silicon, thin-film solar cells are made by depositing one or more thin layers of photovoltaic material onto a substrate. These layers are incredibly thin – often just a few micrometers thick, which is about 100 times thinner than.

We herein report a new technology of “solar-driven ionic power generation” based on ionic thermophoresis and electrokinetic effects that could convert solar energy into electricity by using a film of nanocellulose @ conductive metal–organic framework.
