Scientists in the US and Sweden have produced a highly transparent and flexible paper that they coated with tin-doped indium oxide to make it conductive, so it can be used as a substrate for flexible solar cells. The material can be produced on a large scale at low cost, with an environmentally friendly, solution-based process.
