- This paper demonstrated that material synthesised from waste biomass, including food waste, could be used to make functioning solar cells. This led to a large amount of media interest. This includes articles in Science Daily (“Cheap solar cells made from shrimp shells”), Huffington Post (“Solar Cells From Shrimp Shells”), phys.org (“Cheap solar cells made from shrimp shells”) and Energy Matters (“Solar Cells From Shrimp Shells”). It has also led directly to a large growth in research into biomass-derived carbon materials for photoactive applications, following directly from our original research: e.g. DOIs: 10.1016/j.jcis.2015.12.001; 10.1016/j.jallcom.2016.10.015; 10.1016/j.electacta.2016.01.166; 10.1039/c6nh00010j; 10.1002/cptc.201600038.
