  • Scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati of Assam have found a way to make solar panels more efficient, cheaper and recyclable.
  • It was done by stabilising hybrid perovskite-based solar or photovoltaic devices to produce electricity.
  • These are considered heavily used semiconductor materials as they are affordable and easy to manufacture.
  • The perovskite materials are extremely unstable towards ambient (humidity and oxygen) conditions that restrict their commercialisation.
  • These devices can be manufactured at room temperature, making them cost-effective and more eco-friendly.
