They possess a skeleton made of nanostructured silica or glass. Researchers from Organic Electronics , Organic Electronics , Yale University Laboratory and PV have discovered the most common type of phytoplankton can optimise photovoltaic (PV) solar cells. In a report in the journal Organic Electronics , the team revealed how fossilised diatoms, which have evolved over billions of years to optimise light absorption, reduced the amount of rare and costly materials required to make the active layer of a PV cell more efficient.
