Upcycling solar glass into Ce-doped oxyfluorides: spectroscopic and crystallization properties
Marcos Paulo Belançon, Rafaela Valcarenghi, Marcelo Sandrini +9
Oxyfluorides containing up to 80 wt% recycled glass from end-of-life solar panels have been investigated. Reduced processing temperature and high transparency have shown that the m…
