For some historical context, early PV modules used backsheets based on an FPF structure, with the core PET layer sandwiched between 2 fluoropolymer layers. The fluoropolymer here is nothing but the proprietary polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), commercially known as Tedlar, popularized by DuPont, the well-known US-based chemical giant.
In this study, we investigated the feasibility of chemically recycling a fluorine-containing photovoltaic (PV) backsheet for fluoropolymer recycling.
Likewise, in the pyrolysis scenario, fluorine‐free backsheets show better environmental performance than fluorinated backsheets in 8 out of 12 impact categories. Pyrolysis could be a potential end-of-life treatment option for fluorine-free backsheets.
Fluoropolymer recycling could be achieved by melting and extruding the recovered fluoropolymers, which in turn could be used to produce new fluoropolymers. Furthermore, we proposed a potential fluoropolymer recycling scheme from end-of-life PV backsheets.
The fluoropolymer here is nothing but the proprietary polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), commercially known as Tedlar, popularized by DuPont, the well-known US-based chemical giant. Such a backsheet structure was often referred to as TPT, which was also the first backsheet composition used for PV module applications.
The life cycle assessment for the fluorine-free backsheets show better environmental performance compared to the fluorinated backsheets in both incineration as well as the pyrolysis EOL scenarios.
