A critical review of the circular economy for lithium-ion batteries and photovoltaic modules–status, challenges, and opportunities

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

A review discusses key insights, gaps, and opportunities for research and implementation of a circular economy for two of the leading technologies that enable the transition to a renewable energy economy, solar PV and lithium-ion batteries (LIB); procedures to critically analyze over 3000 publications on the circular economy of solar PV and LIBs, categorizing those that pass a series of objective screens in ways that can illuminate the current state of the art; existing impediments to a circular economy; and future technological and analytical research.
