Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhilai have made a groundbreaking in manufacturing a cost-effective and industry-friendly formulation for a ‘self-healing coating’ for solar cells.

This new formulation permits the spontaneous healing of cracks within just 5 minutes, giving a promising solution to cure damage caused by hot and humid environmental temperatures.

Solar cells are crucial in tapping solar power and transforming it into electricity, without depending on fossil fuels or generating harmful emissions.

The introduction of self-healing coating material has the ability to prevent crack propagation and restore the material and system properties.

The project is receiving support from IIT Bhilai, DSIR, and SERB, underlining the significance and vital impact of this research.

The research team’s findings have been published in the European Polymer Journal, adding to the credibility of the work.

By developing self-healing coatings for solar cells, the researchers contribute to the advancement of renewable energy technologies and pave the way for more efficient and durable solar systems.

With further assessment and testing, this new technology could revolutionize the solar industry and contribute to a sustainable energy future.
