As the solar photovoltaic market booms, so will the volume of photovoltaic (PV) systems
entering the waste stream. The same is forecast for lithium-ion batteries from electric …

Silicon has attracted considerable interest as a high‐capacity anode material for next‐
generation lithium‐ion batteries. However, Si‐based anodes suffer extreme volume change …

This paper considers pork fat as a novel potential phase change material (PCM) for
photovoltaic applications. The PV-PCM configuration was numerically analysed in order to …

The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions depends largely on the availability of clean
energy. To harness solar energy, photovoltaic (PV) materials (solar-grade silicon …

Recycling solar grade silicon (SoG-Si) scrap is critical for the sustainability of solar energy
and fulfilling to close material loops in circular economics. A major challenge is to control …

Amongst the numerous absorbers confronted in thin-film solar cell technology, antimony
selenide (Sb 2 Se 3) is regarded as an extremely promising contender as it is a non-toxic …

The efficient conversion of SiCl 4 to SiHCl 3 still presents considerable challenges for the
Siemens process. The enhancement of solid-solid interaction between catalyst and silicon …

As compared with conventional nanocrystal systems, Cu-based mesocrystals have
demonstrated distinct advantages in catalytic applications. Here, we report the preparation …

Reactive distillation (RD) is a promising alternative that can produce high-purity Silane.
However, it requires a large amount of expensive refrigerant to condense it. Therefore, this …

Catalytic hydrochlorination of Si is an effective route to manufacture trichlorosilane (TCS),
the main feedstock of high-purity Si for solar cells. However, the understanding of its catalytic …
