Episode Synopsis

Cheaper than silicon.Greener to manufacture.Better performance in extreme heat.So what changed?In this episode, we explore a new perovskite solar manufacturing process that replaces toxic solvents, scales to full-size panels without defects, and produces modules tough enough to pass the harshest international reliability tests.From green chemistry to smart surface science, this is the story of how a fragile lab material became a certified, real-world energy technology—and why it could matter most in a warming world.#Perovskite #GreenEnergy #SolarTech #MaterialsScience #FutureOfEnergy #SciencePodcastSource: Improved solvent systems for commercially viable perovskite photovoltaic modules.Science, 4 December 2025, Vol. 390, Issue 6777, pp. 1021–1028.
