Researchers from India and Israel to join in perovskite R&D

The Department of Science and Technology (DST), under India's Ministry of Science & Technology, has announced the list of solar and storage projects to be carried out by Indian and Israeli researchers with joint funding by the two nations. The project duration will be two years.

Solar projects selected for joint funding include novel electron and hole transport materials for perovskite solar cells by CSIR Indian Institute of Chemical Technology Hyderabad and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and mixed-dimensional and hybrid bilayered perovskites for high-stability and high-efficiency photovoltaic devices by CSIR National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology, Kerala, and Technion Israel Institute of Technology.

Halide perovskite-based photo-anode for oxygen evolution reaction (by IIT Bhillai, Chhattisgarh, and the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev), deposition of metal oxides on halide perovskites for PV cells (IIT Bombay and Bar Ilan University), and mono- and bimetalic coplexes for energy-relevant photocatalysis (IIT Kanpur and Technion-Israel Institute of Technology) are also among the shortlisted projects.
