Mr. Abhishek Srivastava is presently pursuing his Ph D in the Department of Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science at IIT Indore, India. His current research work is focused toward finding lead-free perovskite materials for solar cell applications and some other hybrid modules of solar cells, such as dye-sensitized solar cells. Additionally, he optimizes the optoelectronic properties of solar radiation-absorbing materials, aiding photovoltaic efficiency. His interests extend to stable stoichiometries for efficient photovoltaic applications and sustainable technologies such as green hydrogen generation and wastewater remediation. He has published numerous articles cited by peers in the scientific community, reflecting his impact on sustainable energy and advanced materials research with an h-index of 10 and i10-index of 10. Recently, he received the “Outstanding Paper Award-2023” from the esteemed Energy Advances journal published by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
