Innovative Breakthrough: Indian Researchers Develop Eco-Friendly Perovskite Solar Cells with Remarkable Performance

 "Innovative Breakthrough: Indian Researchers Develop Eco-Friendly Solar Cells with Magnesium, Paving the Way for Sustainable Photovoltaics"


✔️ Researchers in India have developed an innovative solar harvesting material that replaces toxic lead with environmentally friendly magnesium, marking a significant advancement for cost-effective and sustainable photovoltaics.


✔️ Perovskite solar cells, known for their efficiency and low costs, typically use lead, posing health and environmental risks. 


✔️ Scientists at Hyderabad's International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy & New Materials addressed this issue by synthesizing a new perovskite material, replacing half of the lead with non-toxic magnesium while maintaining efficiency. 


✔️ They also introduced a simplified solar cell design using the new perovskite formula, featuring affordable titanium dioxide and carbon instead of traditional costly gold electrodes. 


✔️ The resulting lead-magnesium perovskite photodetector exhibited impressive performance metrics, including high responsivity, ultra-fast response time, and low bias voltage requirements, meeting or surpassing standard solar cell benchmarks.
