Among these, metal-halide perovskite solar cells have seen significant improvements in power conversion efficiency and are now on the verge of market entry. However, most efficient and stable perovskite solar cells contain lead in the perovskite absorber layer, along with indium and silver in their electrodes. This study demonstrates an environmentally benign recycling process for recovering all three elements from end-of-life perovskite solar cells. In short, the process consists of mechanical dismantling (milling), aqueous extraction/purification of PbI<sub>2</sub>, and acid extraction and purification of indium and silver by nanofiltration. After the quantitative recovery of lead as PbI<sub>2</sub> (95 ± 5%), indium and silver were dissolved using nitric acid with recovery rates of 87 ± 7% for both metals. Life cycle assessment calculations were used to determine optimal conditions in terms of minimal environmental impact per gram of extracted element. After acid extraction, nanofiltration was employed using both custom-made layer-by-layer membranes and commercially available acid-resistant flat sheet membranes to separate indium from silver. Using an optimized membrane design, indium was almost entirely retained (96.9 ± 0.4%) using a layer-by-layer membrane at 50% permeate recovery. Hence, a twofold concentration of indium was achieved over the course of the filtration. In contrast, silver was not retained (retention of -7.6 ± 6.3%), resulting in a dilute Ag permeate. Using the commercial flat sheet membrane resulted in similar retention rates, with 98.5 ± 0.4% for indium and 5.8 ± 11.6% for silver. However, this came at the expense of considerably higher operating pressure (25 bar vs 5 bar) and lower flux (6 L/m<sup>2</sup>h vs 30 L/m<sup>2</sup>h), resulting in higher energy demand (72 Wh/L vs 9 Wh/L). Therefore, layer-by-layer membrane filtration proved to be the superior method for element recovery from perovskite photovoltaic devices. This study has shown that combining hydrometallurgical processing (aqueous and acidic extraction) with layer-by-layer membrane filtration offers an efficient and environmentally benign approach for metal recovery from end-of-life solar cells. Since indium and silver are also key elements for other thin film photovoltaic applications, layer-by-layer membrane filtration may represent a platform technology for future photovoltaic panel recycling.</p>","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 6","pages":"1087-1095"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12207669/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144546760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their practical application in oil spill remediation is often limited by insufficient mechanical resistance, poor hydrophobicity, and challenges in cost-effective processing. To address these limitations, this study proposes a novel approach aligned with Green Chemistry principles, developing an oil sorbent entirely from sugarcane bagasse (SCB) through a sustainable two-step process. First, the biomass was deconstructed via physical milling and hydrothermal treatment with water at 200 °C. Then, the fiber network was reconstructed by incorporating 0.1 wt % cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) derived from SCB, followed by oven-drying. This is the first report to explore the synergistic effect of redeposited lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) and CNF reinforcement to produce a robust and hydrophobic sorbent from SCB. The resulting sorbent exhibited enhanced mechanical resistance, supporting loads greater than its own weight without structural failure. It also showed inherent hydrophobicity and high oleophilicity with absorption capacities of 4.1 g/g for corn oil, 3.5 g/g for light crude oil, and 5.1 g/g for medium crude oil. Microscopy analyses confirmed the presence of LNPs on the fiber surfaces after hydrothermal treatment, contributing to hydrophobicity alongside micro- and nanoscale surface roughness from fiber packing and LNPs. This work demonstrates how hydrothermal treatment combined with CNF reinforcement can effectively convert sugarcane bagasse into a high-performance, cost-effective, and eco-friendly sorbent for oil spill remediation.</p><p >This Article presents an eco-friendly sorbent material developed from sugarcane bagasse, focusing on sustainability and oil spill remediation.</p>","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 5","pages":"853–863 853–863"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.1021/acssusresmgt.5c00110","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144104925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
