Hi All! I would like to share our team's work on "A facile crush and sieve treatment for recycling end of life photovoltaics". #RSCPoster #RSCEnv
Simple crush and sieve approach enables separation of polymer and metals through size selection.

@wubenny Thanks Benny!

Read more on our team's work on recovery of Si with solely phosphoric acid and its upcycling application to lithium ion battery anode materials.
This method avoids the use of multiple reagents and high temperature annealing to recover Si!

#NTUsg scientists have devised an efficient method of recovering high-purity silicon from expired solar panels using phosphoric acid. The silicon can be #upcycled into lithium-ion batteries that can power #electricvehicles and more. #NTUsgResearch https://t.co/pNZPCgJcLs

It's so wild that we can "see" molecules now. Humans can do so many amazing things when we're not being miserable monsters to each other. I have hope tho.

That's good to know. Never experience this yet since the solvents tend to run out fast back in synthetic lab. Guess it is not just looking at labels and counting bottles from now on.

Our team has developed simplified silicon recovery to enable high performance, sustainable lithium-ion batteries. Thank Prof @MrgNripan for the guidance. Congrats @YeowBoonTay1 @ankit_823001 !!

TPP+ !
reminding me my summer research + fyp days.

So much work done!
What's next?

@Rachel_E_OBrien Yup! Exactly, Rachel! That's what we are excited about. We are intending to further study on different mesh size to generate more fractions in view to further segregate the metals. 😀

[_yingSIM @yingSIM1]

@Rachel_E_OBrien Hi Rachel! Yes, we observed that Al retained majority in F1, Cu and Pb retained largely in F2 while Ag concentrates into F4. For more details, you can read our paper. https://t.co/x8PcrMeAy2

@Anurgdev Hi Ankur! Thankf for your kind comment! For metal wise, we typically digest and use ICP-OES for measurements. On top of that, we also utilise XRF, SEM-EDX and XPS to further analyse the purity of materials recovered.

[_yingSIM @yingSIM1]

@AlanAguirreSoto Thanks Alan! We do hope that this simplified approach can replace the thermal treatment to minimise the carbon footprint as well as emission of noxious gaseous by-product from the fluorinated polymer.

[_yingSIM @yingSIM1]

@AlanAguirreSoto Hi Alan. Thanks for your kind comment. Our team is currently gathering information for life cycle assessment of this work. Nevertheless, the crushing was done using lab-scale cutting mill Retsch SM200 over 10 mins/cycle. Much lower energy consumption is expected to thermal method

[_yingSIM @yingSIM1]

Happy to answer any questions related to the recycling of photovoltaics.
The team also showcased the feasibility of upcycling recovered silicon to Li-ion batteries (see @YeowBoonTay1 work).
