The world is looking for alternatives to conventional energy extracted from fossil fuels. The use of photovoltaic solar energy is on the rise. It directly converts solar energy into electricity using semiconductor materials such as silicon, contained in the cells of photovoltaic modules, which we commonly call solar panels. Erik Johnson, research director at the CNRS, deputy director of the Laboratory of Physics of Interfaces and Thin Films (LPICM*), and a specialist in photovoltaics, sheds light on the current situation in the sector.

Global warming is now a major environmental concern. CO2 emissions are one of the main causes. Many scientists in different fields are exploring ways to either reduce emissions or to convert or trap the CO2 molecule. According to Olivier Guaitella, a research engineer at the Laboratory of Plasma Physics, cold plasmas have a role to play in the recycling and recovery of CO2.
