Description

[0017] In the Figure:

[0018] FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a film according to the invention.

[0019] According thereto, the film 1 consists, as an extensive portion, of a substrate 2 having a coating 3 of at least graphene and silicon. According to the invention, the coating 3 is a nanocoating containing graphene and silicon as nanoparticles. Neutrinos passing through the film 1 and thus the coating 3 result in an interaction or collision of the molecules of the coating 3, wherein as a result of the interaction kinetic energy is tappable as direct current via the graphene as a positive terminal and the substrate as a negative terminal. The substrate 2 consists in part of an electrically conductive plastics material. It has two layers, a first layer 4 and a second layer 5. The first layer 4 is electrically conductive and the coating 3 is arranged thereon. The second layer 5, which consists of an electrically non-conductive plastics material, is arranged on the side of the first layer 4 opposite from the coating 3. This layer serves as an insulation layer, if a plurality of films 1 are placed functionally on top of one another to form a stack, such that the respective superposed layers are delimitable from one another in an electrically insulated manner by the second layer 5 acting as an insulation layer.
