Recycling of photovoltaic silicon waste for high-performance …
The efforts to meet the global carbon–neutral targets have promoted the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, leading to fast annual growth in the solar PV module installation capacity (~127 GW in 2020) (Gielen, 2018, Seo et al., 2021). High-purity silicon (>99.9999%, 6 N) is the mainstream raw material for solar cells.
