Tubes for sunlight : Solar cells with high short‐circuit photocurrent, incident monochromatic photon‐to‐electron conversion efficiency, and power conversion efficiency have been made from flexible, light‐weight, ultrastrong, and semiconductive nanotube fibers (see picture). The alignment of the nanotubes in the fiber is crucial for the excellent charge separation and charge transport properties observed.
