Research question
The challenges on recycling perovskite solar cells present barriers to practical applications of this emerging technology. The most significant difficulty is to repair degraded functional materials to high quality during recycling, using non-hazardous solvents. Our research seeks to overcome this obstacle by innovating novel perovskite-coordinative materials and repairing methods in green solvents to optimize recycling efficiency and purity.
Sustainability aspects
Our project prioritizes sustainability through the development of perovskite-coordinative materials and eco-friendly solvents to enhance recycling efficacy. By emphasizing waste module recycling with cost-effective and environmentally conscious methods, we aim to minimize ecological footprint while maximizing resource recovery. Through rational material design and fundamental understanding of coordinative chemistry, our efforts will contribute to reshaping sustainable PV technologies and revolutionizing optoelectronic devices beyond PV applications.
