Add to ORKGSilicon based photo voltaic panels are the mainstream of solar cells. However, there are intrinsic limitations of such devices for replacing power plants. The low conversion efficiency (<20%) would make it higher cost than generators run by fossil fuels. The repeated high temperature processes for extracting, purifying, and ingoting silicon actually wasted more electricity that may be recovered by solar cells. Additionally, silicon is not radiation hard so its crystalline structure will be gradually damaged by the bombardment of UV photons from the sun. All these drawbacks can be overcome by using amorphous diamond as the electron generator in vacuum. Amorphous diamond contains the highest amount of atoms per unit volume (about 180/nm3). Mo...
