Experimental validation of crystalline silicon solar cells recycling by thermal and chemical methods Sol. Energy Mater. Sol. Cell., 94 ( 2010), pp. 2275 - 2282, 10.1016/j.solmat.2010.07.025 Re-cycling of high value, high energy content components of silicon PV modules
The highest efficiencies of c-Si solar cells to date are reported using charge-selective contacts that are made of Si-based materials such as amorphous silicon (a-Si) forming the silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells or silicon oxide (SiO x ) stacked with heavily doped polycrystalline silicon (SiO x /poly-Si) [1, 5].
And the recovery and concentration of the solar cells can be further improved by optimizing. Firstly, the narrow-grade classification is an important method in improving the recovery and concentration of solar cells. It can be achieved by customizing special mesh sizes.
To further increase the conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells, it is vital to reduce the recombination losses associated with the contacts.
Although the passivation quality pro vided temperatures such as 200 °C , . Especially in the case bond breakage . Therefore, subsequent solar cell manufac- ( >700 °C) typically employed in other solar cell concepts. Another Si-based contact is the SiO x/poly-Si structure. This passivating contact for c-Si solar cells.
Reasonable and efficient recycling of waste crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) modules benefits environmental protection and resource conservation. The liberation and separation of solar cells in modules is the key to achieving effective recycling.
