However, this growth brings challenges associated with end-of-life (EOL) management of photovoltaic (PV) modules. Recycling, an important pillar of the circular economy, has a pivotal role in the liberation and recovery of embedded materials present in the EOL PV modules. In this Review, we discuss the current PV recycling strategies, covering liberation of materials and metal recovery approaches, for both pilot trials and laboratory-scale demonstrations. We then highlight their characteristic parameters, performance and key differences, as well as open challenges to PV recycling in terms of cost-effectiveness, policy regulations and data availability. Next, we summarize the technological innovations needed to achieve adequate separation of embedded materials and efficient material recovery. Finally, we propose a way forward to achieve cost-effective, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly recycling of EOL PV modules. This Review provides a critical assessment of the existing photovoltaic recycling technologies, discusses open challenges and makes key recommendations, such as the promotion of design for recycling, widening data availability, policy developments and incentives for upcycling.","PeriodicalId":501701,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Electrical Engineering","volume":"2 2","pages":"96-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143404128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the past two decades, we have witnessed a true revolution in the basic science that underlies their operation. As a result, these powerful optical elements can now deliver never-seen-before optical functions and transformed the way we think about light–matter interaction at the nanoscale. They also offer a favourable size, weight, power and cost metric compared to bulky optical elements such as lenses and prisms based on polished pieces of glass or moulded plastics. These valuable traits are especially relevant for use in many emerging applications, including wearable displays and sensors, autonomous navigation (robotics, automotive and aerospace), computational imaging, solar energy harvesting and radiative cooling. With the advent of advanced software and high-volume manufacturing processes, the promise of metasurfaces is becoming a practical reality and has already generated tremendous interest from industry. This Review discusses the rapid, recent advances towards transitioning metasurface science into real technologies, propelling the second metasurface revolution. Metasurface optics offer a very favourable size, weight, power and cost metric compared to bulky optical elements based on polished pieces of glass or moulded plastics, and these valuable traits are now propelling their use in many areas of technology.","PeriodicalId":501701,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Electrical Engineering","volume":"2 2","pages":"125-143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143402051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
