Assessment of advanced materials for technologies in photovoltaics with emphasis on the aspect of circular economy.
Abstract
New types of photovoltaic technologies ("Emerging" PV technologies) make it possible to produce ultra-thin, flexible and portable solar cells that open up new areas of application (from building to medical technology). The inorganic/organic advanced materials used for this purpose, such as certain polymers, perovskites, quantum dots, etc., have great potential to increase the energy efficiency of solar cells, but as critical raw materials ('CRMs') they involve a high risk and uncertainties. Therefore, the SolarCircle project will review and categorise usable advanced materials and assess their application and dissemination potential. Furthermore, a basis for the evaluation of potential release and disposal scenarios of emerging PV technologies with special consideration of recycling and sustainability aspects will be established. The aim of SolarCircle is to develop a basis for decisions for R&D, authorities and end users in terms of a sustainable development of emerging PV technologies. In a stakeholder workshop this concept will be discussed with the help of a concrete example in order to obtain a congruent and validated concept ("Descision supporting tool") for future PV technology related research and applications.
