text: Home Research updates Towards a greener future with next generation solar cell technology
  University of Canterbury (UC) chemistry researcher Dr Paula Brooksby is at the forefront of research to refine fast-advancing solar cell technology
  First published on the University of Canterbury website
  Together with Dr Noel Duffy from CSIRO in Australia, Dr Brooksby is exploring the potential of a carbon-based material to revolutionise photovoltaic technology and performance: 'Graphene' sounds rather like 'graphite' used in pencils. Indeed, the two are related but this lesser known cousin of graphite has rather different properties that put it at the leading edge of scientific research geared towards achieving a zero emissions future for energy production.
