plastic solar cell experiment

first part is a single layer, second part is a double layer giving double the voltage but same amperage, (something I need to replicate later and show both) the issue is that this is done by solute in a dried polystyrene and thus breaks down too easily in direct sunlight, so in a future test a UV protection and intermolecular structure for doping will be attempted like making polyethylene with interruptions of some dopant like boron, or phosphorus to create the layers and hopefully get the depletion zone needed,

if all works we could have both a flexible cell and one that can scale up by reuse of photons as they are re-released from the interaction, and recaptured in additional layers, increasing the efficiency.
