Scientists from Nanyang Technological University Singapore developed a way to extract high-purity silicon from old solar panels to reuse it in lithium batteries.

Silicon tends to be discarded when the panels reach the end of their useful life, which is typically around 25 to 30 years .

Silicon is seen as a promising solution for lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.
