Researchers have developed a perovskite solar cell modified with a polymer that achieves high efficiency underwater, according to Physics World. The advance could open the door to powering underwater sensors, robots and monitoring equipment with sunlight rather than batteries or cables. The polymer tuning is said to help the cells cope with the way water absorbs and scatters light, preserving performance where conventional solar cells would fail.
