Environmental needs and international regulations urgently ask for a robust practice for the recycling and reusing of critical components of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to reduce the primary material demand and energy consumption. This work demonstrates a circular approach based on green solvents to refurbish critical materials of PSCs, i.e. SnO2-coated indium tin oxide substrates, PbI2 and Spiro-OMeTAD. Using such recovered materials (and purifying the employed solvents) we fabricate PSCs in an iterative way keeping 98.4% of the initial average efficiency. This comes from an efficient re-utilization of single components, as rationalized by investigating interfaces and device properties upon each recycling step. Concomitantly, we compare the proposed recovery strategy with the conventional landfill treatment for PSCs and silicon photovoltaics through a comparative life cycle assessment (LCA). LCA results reveal that the recovery scenario is preferable to landfilling in reducing energy requirements and environmental footprint.

Finite Impulse Response filtering is increasingly becoming the interpolation method of choice in modern computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining centres. Recently, On-The-Fly (OTF) interpolation was introduced using direct convolution to adaptively change the FIR flter time constant throughout the toolpath. In this paper, it is shown that computational advantages can be gained by using frequency domain methods instead. This paper introduces a novel on-the-fly CNC interpolation method using Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs). The presented OTF FFT method demonstrates up to 10 times increase in computational speed than the direct convolution OTF method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated in simulation based case studies.

The paper presents a machine learning approach to detect laminate gaps and to classify them as open or closed. Compared with the traditional detection methods, which suffer from low precision of point cloud segmentation and poor effect of gap extraction in traditional gap detection, this paper proposes a gap detection algorithm based on 3D Vision. First, an improved undirected graph point cloud segmentation algorithm is used to overcome the under-segmentation of the target region. Second, an adaptive vector for angle discriminant model is proposed to solve the problem of poor extraction effect of the gap edge points. Finally, the B-spline curve-fitting model is used to describe the 3D points on the lamination edges. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated in a visual quality detection platform for carbon fiber composite laminates. The results show that the proposed approach is able to accurately detect and classify laminate gaps in carbon fiber composite structures, providing a reliable tool for quality control in industrial manufacturing processes.

Conventional solar trackers continuously adjust solar panels to optimize energy production, a process that can consume significant energy, potentially surpassing the energy gained. This research examines the most effective tracking interval for solar tracking systems to mitigate this issue. Through testing with intervals ranging from 5 minutes to 5 hours, it was determined that setting tracking intervals no shorter than 1 hour and no longer than 2 hours and 30 minutes is recommended to achieve a balance between energy efficiency and production. Additionally, this study suggests that elevation and azimuth angles should not be tracked using the same time periods; instead, a 2-hour interval for elevation tracking and a 3-hour interval for azimuth angle tracking are advised for optimal performance. The proposed discrete tracking method consumes less than 0.15% of the energy produced, thereby enhancing energy efficiency, reducing unnecessary energy consumption, and improving the overall reliability and lifespan of solar tracking systems. This approach has the potential to significantly impact the future of solar power by enhancing the efficiency and reliability of solar tracking systems, thereby increasing the viability and appeal of solar energy as a primary renewable resource.

Effective management of the charging process is not only crucial for reducing costs and improving the efficiency of electric vehicles and renewable energy systems but also essential for enhancing the stability and safety of energy systems. Consequently, it has become a key focus in battery management system research. However, there is a contradiction between improving battery charging efficiency and extending service life, and the diversified battery use needs make this contradiction more prominent. This paper proposes a lithium-ion battery charging process management framework based on digital twin technology and Bayesian principle. A hybrid model is used to establish the digital twin of the lithium-ion battery charging state and health state. At the same time, the model evaluation reward and maturity evaluation reward are comprehensively considered in the decision-making process to improve the effectiveness of decision-making. Furthermore, the charging strategy is optimized according to the distinct characteristics of different battery life stages. The case analysis demonstrates that, compared to existing charging strategies, the proposed method effectively extends battery lifespan while meeting various battery performance requirements.
