Scientists have used hydrometallurgical and electrochemical processes to recover pure silver from solar cells. The proposed technique also utilizes a method known as electrodeposition-redox replacement, which reportedly increases the silver recovery rate.
Scientists from the University of Leicester have discovered an alternative process that recovers silver and aluminium from end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) cells, the functioning units of solar panels. This process uses cheap solvents and is environmentally friendlier than the most common process used at present, which typically involve mineral acids.
To address the substantial volume of solar PV waste, researchers have conducted studies aimed at recovering various materials from EoL PV panels. This paper provides in-depth analysis of recovery methods for extracting silver from waste solar panels that are available in recent literature.
In this new study, a team in Italy developed a relatively inexpensive way to recover the silver used in solar panels. The process involves the use of a base-activated persulfate along with.
