New recycling process can recover up to 99.97% of materials in perovskite solar cells

July 2, 2024

A recent study by the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nuremberg, which is based at Forschungszentrum Jülich, has developed an efficient and environmentally friendly process for recycling perovskite solar cells.

The paper, published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science, presents a method with which up to 99.97% of the materials used in a solar cell can be recovered and reused—with comparable efficiency, less waste and lower costs. This is the first time that such a high level of efficiency has been achieved in the recycling of perovskite solar cells.
