Aqueous-based recycling of perovskite photovoltaics.

ABSTRACT: Cumulative silicon photovoltaic (PV) waste highlights the importance of considering waste recycling before the commercialization of emerging PV technologies^1,2. Perovskite PVs are a promising next-generation technology³, in which recycling their end-of-life waste can reduce the toxic waste and retain resources^4,5. Here we report a low-cost, green-solvent-based holistic recycling strategy to restore all valuable components from perovskite PV waste. We develop an efficient aqueous-based perovskite recycling approach that can also rejuvenate degraded perovskites. We further extend the scope of recycling to charge-transport layers, substrates, cover glasses and metal electrodes. After repeated degradation-recycling processes, the recycled devices show similar e
