Scientists Have Created Artificial Sheet

Scientists from the Massachusetts technological university have created the artificial sheet which develops the electric power under the influence of a sunlight. This discovering can play an important role in search of alternative energy sources as one such sheet can provide with an electricity a small apartment house. The artificial sheet is a source of the cheap electric power for household consumption in developing countries, actually, in each house there will be the mini power station.

The device is made of silicon, electronic components and catalysts of chemical reactions. If it is placed in five-liter capacity with water on the bright sunlight, the developed electric power will be sufficient to provide the small house. The producing of electricity occurs due to the water decomposition (oxygen and hydrogen).

All materials and components of the device are cheap. During the tests it working continuously within 45 hours without decreasing in producing of current. The most important thing is to work out the new inexpensive catalysts on the basis of nickel and cobalt which very effectively decompose water to oxygen and hydrogen.

It is not the first successful attempt in creating the device which simulates natural photosynthesis. Ten years ago the working prototype has been created by John Turner in National laboratory of renewed energy sources in Colorado. The device was effective enough, however, consisted of rare and expensive components, and also was very unstable and worked only about one day.
