Abstract
AbstractTraditional energy production methods, such as burning fossil fuels, are harmful to the earth's environment, resulting in major, planet-scale issues, and climate change. As a result, renewable and green energy technologies have become increasingly popular in recent years. Improvements in solar panel efficiency, in particular, have piqued researchers’ interest, as the sun is a year-round available source of energy that may be used efficiently for energy generation. However, due to reflection at the air/glass interface, a considerable portion of the incident solar energy is lost. The increased need for flexible electronics and solar energy conversion devices has fuelled a pursuit of high-quality paper-based materials with good mechanical flexibility and optical qualities including high transparency and haze. High optical transmittance and haze, superior mechanical characteristics, a smooth surface, and low thermal conductivity characterize transparent paper and wood. This qualifies it as a solar cell assembly substrate with potential in energy-efficient construction applications. High optical transparency is required for solar cell substrates, but the high optical haze is preferred to maximize light dispersion and, as a result, absorption in the active components.
