The Palmdale School District oversees 28 schools with around 18,000 students.

First-generation silicon #solar panels are nearing the end of their useful life. Here's the problem: there's no efficient way to recycle these panels, which means many are simply dumped in landfills. Here's the solution: a study from Link?ping University (Sweden), published in Nature, is developing a new recycling method for solar cells that avoids hazardous solvents. This technique (which uses water as the primary solvent) allows all components of a perovskite solar cell to be repeatedly recycled while maintaining the same efficiency as the original. https://lnkd.in/ed5hZ5Sh

Some good news for a Friday ... Lithium-ion batteries, which are used in EVs and endless gadgets, are impractical for large-scale energy storage because they're expensive and rely on rare materials like cobalt, nickel, and lithium. Researchers have been looking into alternatives like sodium, potassium, and zinc. Now, scientists at Worcester Polytechnic Institute have discovered a new possibility: chloride, an abundant ion found in seawater. #ThisIsElectrificationIntegration #Lithium #energystorage #batteries https://lnkd.in/g4hh_f4z
