Abstract:The use of photovoltaic cells is constantly increasing and, in particular, a new generation of thin‐film photovoltaic (PV) cells is under development. The absorber of these new cells, kesterite (CZT(S)Se), is composed of abundant chemical elements. Nonetheless, the development of the recycling process for these elements is indispensable for circular economy. This research is focused on the recovery of selenium by thermal oxidation and subsequent reduction. Thus, recycling of selenium has been firstly studied o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
