Накратко на български

Перовскитните слънчеви панели се изследват, за да се заменят опасните разтворители при тяхното производство и рециклиране. Това помага за намаляване на замърсяването с олово и по-ефективно използване на ресурсите при създаването на чиста енергия.

Green solvent recycling for sustainable, eco-friendly perovskite photovoltaics

Perovskite photovoltaics (PSCs) are a promising renewable energy technology, with power conversion efficiency (PCE) approaching that of commercial silicon PV and lower fabrication costs. However, their sustainable development faces three key challenges: dependence on hazardous organic solvents in processing and recycling, low atomic efficiency of existing recycling methods, and environmental risks associated with lead-containing waste. These issues conflict with the EU’s European Green Deal, "Fit for 55" plan, and UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), limiting PSCs’ commercialization potential. The ECOPV project aimed to address these gaps by advancing circularity in PSC technology, with three core objectives: clarify PSC degradation mechanisms to inform recycling design, develop eco-friendly recycling systems to replace hazardous solvents, and verify the performance of high-efficiency recycled PSCs with recovery of key components. The project’s supports EU policy goals related to resource conservation and pollution reduction, while enhancing the Experienced Researcher’s (ER) technical and leadership capabilities in circular renewable energy research.

Цел на проекта

In response to recent climate tragedies, European Union (EU) is taking rapid action with its ambitious European Green Deal (EGD) to transform our economies and societies greener. As a result, the EU is encouraging the transformation of our buildings and vehicles from energy consumers to energy producers by installing lightweight, flexible, transparent, low-cost, high-efficiency solar panels. These are precisely the features of thin-film perovskite photovoltaics (PeroPVs). Drawing insights from tremendous silicon PV waste awaiting treatment, the recycling technologies within a circular economy become a prerequisite prior to the widespread commercial adoption of any PV technology. It is particularly important for perovskite photovoltaics to mitigate lead (Pb) consumption and prevent lead-containing waste release.In recent years, lead recycling was raised to extract lead ions from the end-of-life modules through lead absorbents and subsequently recover lead ions to lead iodide for new module fabrication. However, the low atomic efficiency and involvement of hazardous solvents in current recycling technology diminish the economic benefits and industry compatibility. Hence, Dr. Xun Xiao intends to solve the issue by employing ligand-modulated coordination management (LiMCOM) to develop a novel eco-friendly recycling system for a sustainable and circular perovskite PV system that goes beyond the state-of-the-art. ER intends to bring a low-cost, high-efficiency, and pollution-free solution for PeroPV waste by utilizing inter/multidisciplinary research involving physics, chemistry, materials science, and device engineering with the host institution's excellent infrastructural resources. The proposed project (ECOPV) complements the ER's expertise in lead-recycling for perovskite PV and the host scientist's knowledge of green solvent engineering. Overall, new expertise obtained via this fellowship will help ER mature in managing his future research group, ideally in Europe.
