Lead leaching and electrowinning in acetic acid for solar module recycling

Natalie Click et al.

Summary: This paper investigates a two-step leaching and electrowinning process using acetic acid for the recovery of lead (Pb) from end-of-life solar modules. It is found that acetic acid with hydrogen peroxide can dissolve Pb quickly, in a matter of minutes under certain conditions. The study demonstrates successful Pb electrowinning from aqueous solutions of lead(II) acetate with 0-10% v/v acetic acid. The presence of metallic Pb and Pb(II) oxide co-deposits on the cathode, as well as lead subacetate and lead(IV) oxide deposits on the anode, is confirmed through various analytical techniques.

Back EVA recycling from c-Si photovoltaic module without damaging solar cell via laser irradiation followed by mechanical peeling

Xiaotong Li et al.

Summary: The laser irradiation followed by mechanical peeling method proposed in this study successfully recycled the solar cells in c-Si PV modules by removing the back EVA layer. This method not only reduces environmental pollution risk, but also maintains the integrity of both the EVA and the solar cells, providing potential for reuse in subsequent processes.

A review of end-of-life crystalline silicon solar photovoltaic panel recycling technology

Xiaopu Wang et al.

Summary: With the exponential increase in global installations, the number of end-of-life solar PV panels is also surging. However, current recycling technology studies are mainly in the experimental stage and often overlook the issues of high cost, low recycling value, and secondary pollution. This review provides a systematic summary of the recycling technologies and condition parameters for end-of-life PV modules, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of current technologies, and explores future research directions. It aims to serve as a technical reference for the upcoming recycling surge of end-of-life PV modules worldwide.

Efficient recycling of metals from solar cells using catalytic etchants

Guillaume Zante et al.

Summary: With the increasing demand for renewable energy, solar energy is expected to play a significant role. However, the disposal of end-of-life solar cells can result in a substantial amount of valuable metal components going to waste. This study explores a novel approach using redox catalysts to dissolve silver and aluminium from silicon solar cells, achieving high recovery rates and purity. The use of brines as solvents presents a cheaper and environmentally friendly alternative to mineral acids.

Electrochemical Recycling of Photovoltaic Modules to Recover Metals and Silicon Wafers

Christian Modrzynski et al.

Summary: An electrochemical-assisted leaching process using boron-doped diamond electrodes was developed to recover valuable metals from photovoltaic modules. Peroxydisulfate is generated to oxidatively dissolve copper, tin and silver from solar cell contacts, and the oxidant is regenerated in the process. This method eliminates the need for additional hazardous and volatile chemicals, and allows for electrochemical recovery of dissolved metals at the cathode.

Recovery of porous silicon from waste crystalline silicon solar panels for high-performance lithium-ion battery anodes

Chaofan Zhang et al.

Summary: This study utilizes waste crystalline Si solar panels to develop high-performance Si anodes for LIBs, transforming micro-sized Si into porous Si through alloying/dealloying in molten salt. The obtained p-Si serves as an anode in LIBs with great capacity and high capacity retention rate, demonstrating a straightforward way to convert retired Si panels into high-performance anodes while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Summary: This study proposed a new method of microwave-enhanced EVA film swelling and separation for recycling PV panels. Results showed that microwave can significantly accelerate the separation speed of different layers, with trichloroethylene being the most effective swelling agent. Analysis of dielectric loss and thermal expansion coefficient indicated the mechanism of accelerated separation, which was further optimized under different conditions like temperature and liquid-solid ratio.
