From Solar waste to battery power: technical breakthroughs in upcycling EoL PV silicon
30 July 2026
Silicon is a leading candidate for next-generation Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs) anodes due to its high theoretical capacity low lithiation voltage and natural abundance. These advantages
Resilex aims to improve the resilience and sustainability of the entire Silicon value chain in the EU.
Reducing EU dependence on Silicon imports from third countries
Developing a new carbon-free and more efficient process for the production of Silicon
Recycling end-of-use solar PV panels for producing Li-ion battery cells
RESiLEX will reduce the environmental footprint of Solar Panels production
The project will impact on the whole Silicon value chain: starting from developing more efficient photovoltaic solar cells and modules, up to implementing a new circular model, where end-of-life solar panels are recycled and reused
