Another successful fragmenting treatment is waterjet-cutting (Palitzsch et al., al.,2020). In this process, a waterjet system scrapes away the silicon layers with the EVA while keeping the module glass intact and clean. The fragmented solar cell and EVA mixtures undergo subsequent sorting and extractions to recover high-purity materials.
Nature Energy 8, 1299 (2023) Cite this article To improve the usefulness of the Solar Cells Reporting Summary as a standalone report, we now ask authors of relevant manuscripts to include experimental details in the Summary, and we have updated some of the requested information.
In particular, we now ask authors not only to report the area of the tested solar cells but also to indicate the type of area calculated, for example, total area, aperture area, active area.
2015, in discussion with experts in pho-tovoltaics, editors in the Nature Portfolio developed the Solar Cells Reporting Sum-mary ( editorial-policies/reporting-standards)1. Its aim was to improve transparency and reproducibility in the field.
Degradation reduces the capability of solar photovoltaic (PV) production over time. Studies on PV module degradation are typically based on time-consuming and labor-intensive accelerated or field experiments. Understanding the modes and methodologies of degradation is critical to certifying PV module lifetimes of 25 years.
