MIT researchers develop polymer film that could prevent solar panel corrosion

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say their polymer coating could be used to protect photovoltaic modules, due to its impermeability to gases. The team has demonstrated that a 60-nanometer-thick film can extend the lifetime of a perovskite crystal by several weeks.A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a lightweight polymer film that could be used as a protective coating on solar panels, as it is nearly impenetrable to gas molecules. Under laboratory testing conditions, the nanometer-thick polymer was found to completely repel nitrogen, as ...
