The cells, which were jointly developed with a startup company, weigh just 10 grams each. Thanks to their lightness and…

@researchbuzz "This innovative approach presents a new way to produce lightweight, flexible solar films that can be used on surfaces such as rooftops and other unconventional surfaces that could not normally stand the weight of solar panels. Together with their anticipated low cost, this could significantly enhance the roll out of solar, particularly in developing countries, and make a real difference in the drive to replace fossil fuels with sustainable solar energy."

The next-generation #SolarCell is fully #recyclable

12 February 2025
Anders Törneholm

"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. The solar cell is made of #perovskite and the main solvent is water."
