Like paint, the composite can be sprayed onto other materials and used as portable electricity. The plastic material uses nanotechnology and contains the first solar cells able to harness the sun’s invisible, infrared rays. The breakthrough has led theorists to predict that plastic solar cells could one day become five times more efficient than current solar cell technology. A hydrogen-powered car painted with the film could potentially convert enough energy into electricity to continually recharge the car’s battery.
