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.

A new technique from Linköping University recycles perovskite solar cells using water, ensuring eco-friendly processes and identical performance to originals.
