The increasing demand for electricity, driven by artificial intelligence, electrified transportation, and industrial expansion, has intensified the need for sustainable energy solutions. Solar power,

Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden believe they may have found a solution that could let solar manufacturers have their cake and eat it too. Using a newly designed recycling technique, the researchers were able to fully break down a perovskite solar cell at the end of its life cycle using only a water solvent.

In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled solar cell has the same efficiency as the original one.
