Recently, researchers at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom have discovered an unusual way to collect solar energy indoors: by mimicking the eyes
of moths.
They were inspired to create a special indoor solar panel that they called the world's most light-absorbing material
.
This indoor solar panel energy harvesting can be used to power IoT devices such as smart clothing, wearables, and smart wallpapers
.
Like motheye, the material has miniature structures that reduce the reflection of light and increase its ability to
absorb light.
Solar panels plated with this material can absorb very weak light
.
Professor Ravi Silva, leader of the School of Advanced Technology at the University of Surrey in the UK, said: "Moths' eyes have tiny patterns that allow them to see objects
in dim light.
This is because these tiny patterns direct light to the middle of the moth's eyes, and it also reduces the reflection of light so that predators can detect them
.
We have applied the same technique to etch a similar pattern on graphene to create an ultra-thin, efficient light-absorbing material
.
