GUWAHATI: The Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT-G) researchers have developed cost-effective, highly efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to produce electricity from sunlight that can have over 21% power conversion efficiency — about 5% more than conventional solar panels.
This cutting-edge technology in emerging perovskite-based semiconducting devices, developed by the team, is considered the most promising due to their low-cost, ease of manufacturing as roll-to-roll devices, high material availability and easy recyclability.
The hybrid perovskite-based solar or photovoltaic devices are easy to manufacture and easily recyclable were developed by achieving significant power conversion efficiencies by utilizing economical solution-based photovoltaic device processing techniques even at mild room temperature and obtaining high ambient, thermal and optical stability that can be easily achievable in northeast-like environment. The Centre has recently given a push to semiconductor manufacturing in the country, which can be a big boost for this new kind of solar cells.
The research team at IIT Guwahati comprising Rabindranath Garai , Ritesh Kant Gupta, Arvin Sain Tanwar and Maimur Hossain working under the supervision of Prof. Parameswar K. Iyer has achieved phenomenal results in terms of efficiency and stability of the PSCs.
