Solar Cell Design with Over 50 Percent Energy-Conversion Efficiency (Figure 1)

Caption

A solar cell structure using a hetero interface and the up-conversion of the two-proton system (yellow and red arrows). The light represented by the red and yellow arrows normally passes through when only a semiconductor is used, but with this system the light is absorbed, greatly increasingly the flow of electricity.
