Question:

Can silica dioxide be used as solar panels?

Can silica dioxide be used as solar panels?

Answer:

It can only be said that there is silica in solar photovoltaic cells,No, only high-purity silicon can
At present, most solar cells are crystalline silicon solar cells. SiO2 is the primary material for solar cells.
The preparation method of crystalline silicon is to reduce SiO2 to Si by carbon reduction firstly, and then to obtain higher purity polycrystalline silicon by HCl reaction.
