From solar cells to retinal implants
Another interesting aspect of this project is the far-reaching potential of transparent electrodes throughout opto-electronic applications, including LEDs and touch screens, where developing alternatives to ITO is also a focus of intense investigation. In the future, opto-electronic interfaces might even enable sight restoration, with retinal implants using light to generate electrical output and stimulating neuronal activity.
It’s an exciting time for research into innovative solutions in answer to the global energy crisis, and as alternative energy becomes a greater focus in the coming years, evolving technologies in 3D confocal laser scanning microscopy are likely to play a central role in the solar revolution.
Dr Manuela Schiek is Junior Professor at the Energy and Semiconductor Research Laboratory headed by Professor Dr Jürgen Parisi, Department of Physics, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Germany.
