Trial of perovskite solar cells for smart wear
Toyoda Gosei is trialling smart wear fitted with perovskite solar cells as clothing that can generate power, moving the company closer to commercialisation.
The proof-of-concept experiment at the World Exposition in Osaka, Japan, which runs until 13 October, aims to assess durability and other aspects of the vests that feature four perovskite solar cells manufactured by Kyoto University start-up EneCoat Technologies attached to their back.
