Abstract
A photovoltaic material having an open-cellular foamed nature incorporated into an electric current generating cell activated by a material circulated through the open cells of the foam.
Claims7
A photovoltaic material comprising:
- an open-cellular foam material having an internal surface area;
- and
- a photoelectric material layer on said foam's internal surface area.
An electric current generating cell comprising:
- a container;
- an open-cellular foamed material held within said container;
- a coating on the interior of the cells of said foam of a semiconductor or other type photoelectric junction material;
- a first pole electrode interconnected to said coating, said pole extending out of said container;
- a fluid or gaseous activating material entered into said open cells in said foam adapted to interact therewith for the production of an electric current;
- and
- a second pole electrode in said container in contact with said activating material, said pole extending out of said container.
