Upcycling Silicon Photovoltaic Waste into Thermoelectrics (Adv. Mater. 19/2022)

Photovoltaic Waste In article number 2110518, Nripan Mathews, Jing Wu, Ady Suwardi and co-workers enable upcycling of waste photovoltaics into thermoelectrics, making use of the majority-carrier nature of thermoelectrics, which are generally more defect- and impurity-tolerant than minority-carrier-based photovoltaics. This work helps to close the loop of circular economy for renewable energy.
