It turns out titanium dioxide — a common ingredient in LEDs, solar cells, surface coatings and sunscreen — is the chemical culprit. When titanium dioxide nanoparticles enter the water, their protective coatings dissolve. This allows the compound to react with ultraviolet light and form new compounds, such as hydrogen ...

Speaking of wings – the top of the wings are coated with solar cells. A staggering total of 3000 such cells are used on the upper wings, elevator and horizontal stabilizer. The wings also carry lithium-ion batteries that can store energy during nighttime where there’s no sunlight to power the drone. During ...
The deposited films were characterised for crystallinity, morphology (roughness), haze and resistivity to aid optimisation of material suitable for solar cells. Optical measurements on these samples showed low absorption losses, less than 1% around 500 nm for one pass, which is much lower than those of industrially available TCOs. Selected samples were then used ...
