The reason for the relatively late  start into research using grapheme is that the material was difficult to make  in quantities needed for research.
Once that hurdle was overcome, researchers quickly [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://solarpowerengineering.com/2010/07/researchers-create-organic-photovoltaic-panels-from-graphene/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>SunPower Achieves Unprecedented 24.2% Solar Cell Efficiency</title><link>http://solarpowerengineering.com/2010/06/sunpower-achieves-unprecedented-24-2-solar-cell-efficiency/</link> <comments>http://solarpowerengineering.com/2010/06/sunpower-achieves-unprecedented-24-2-solar-cell-efficiency/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 25 Jun 2010 16:39:01 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Solar Power Engineering</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Cell]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured Solar Power Articles]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hot Solar Power Topics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Industry News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Photovoltaic]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Solar Power Technologies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NREL]]></category> <category><![CDATA[solar cell efficiency]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SunPower]]></category><guid
