Though great advances have been made to maximize the amount of sunlight that
is absorbed by solar cells, the best solution, until now, is a two-step
chemical process that enables the cells to absorb 96 percent of the
sun’s light.  That’s an excellent result.  But Rice University chemists
have created a single-step process that enables the cells to absorb 99
percent of the sun’s light, a process that is not only more efficient
than other current processes, but less expensive.
