Re: [Vo]:"Best of the best" near-term horizon

Jones wrote about graphene as an alternative to the transparent indium tin 
oxide solar cell. It looks promising but on page two of the article there 
was this dampener...

<<They also need to improve the conductivity of their film: indium tin oxide 
is still hundreds of times more conductive. Organic solar cells with indium 
tin oxide electrodes are between 3 percent and 5 percent efficient. "With 
graphene thin-film electrodes, we get 0.1 percent," Chhowalla says, "but 
these are proof-of-concept devices and of course will improve with time.">>
