New $1.3 million DOE grant for developing new technologies for recycling solar panels

Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office Photovoltaics Research and Development (PVRD) Funding Program

Recycling of End-of-Life Solar Panels using Near-critical Fluids and Ozone

P.I.: Bala Subramaniam; Co-P.I.s:Dan Ginosar, Idaho National Laboratory and Sukhwant Raju, First Solar, Inc.

To ensure the availability of critical materials, minimize waste and limit costs, efficient recycling of solar panels will be essential as the industry grows. Solving this problem now is essential to avoid the type and scale of pollution that we currently face with waste plastics. This project is an example of the forward-thinking research that the KU CEBC, First Solar, Inc, and Idaho National Laboratory are conducting to promote the sustainability of our planet. Solar panels are constructed from several layers of materials, including glass, adhesives, metals and semiconductors. Recovering rare and costly metals from end-of-life panels is expensive, slow, destructive and requires harsh chemical conditions. According to the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory, less than 10% of the country’s decommissioned panels are recycled. The research team will tackle this problem by developing a new technology to easily separate the layers, then use ozone to recover the valuable metals. They will design the process under laboratory conditions, then employ economic and environmental modeling to scale the solution for industry use.

NSF RII Track 2

$4,000,000, 2021-2025; plus $750,000 matching from KBOR

Advanced Manufacturing of Renewable & Recyclable Polymers (R2P).

Dr. Hui Fang from the University of Delaware is relying on the technical expertise of the students and faculty to create a project-specific search algorithm for published research.

Dr. Kalim Shah and graduate student Isaiah Gangadeen published work entitled “Integrating bioplastics into the US plastics supply chain: Towards a policy research agenda for the bioplastic transition,” where they advocate for “developing a strategy to sustainably coordinate and promote biomass production; incentivizing bioplastic investments and production; incentivizing bioplastic substitution; and enhancing end-use management.”

The project evaluators gathered input from Thrust leaders to identify areas of growth and found that team communication, training, collaboration, and project circularity have made for a very successful endeavor.

Technology Development for Valorizing Agricultural Leftovers

2023 publication: Green, S.; Binder, T.; Hagberg, E.; Subramaniam, B., Correlation between Lignin-Carbohydrate Complex Content in Grass Lignins and Phenolic Aldehyde Production by Rapid Spray Ozonolysis. ACS Eng. Au 2023, 3 (2), 84-90. doi:10.1021/acsengineeringau.2c00041

CEBC Research Associate Sandip Singh works with corn agricultural waste and isolating usable materials. His work separates the cellulose and hemicellulose from lignin, which is used as a bio feedstock. CEBC work published in 2022 demonstrated the development of flavorings from corn-cob-based lignin.

Additional CEBC research has shown that lignin-based resins can be used as adhesives. This resin could be synthesized at mild conditions from renewably-sourced lignin and amino acid, such as lysine. Phenol-formaldehyde resins are commonly used in manufactured wood processing and represent a $3.5 billion industry. Dr. Singh’s work expands the potential for lignin-based adhesives to be used in industrial manufacturing, which would create a non-toxic alternative to petroleum-based adhesives and improve biorefinery profitability.

Internet of Catalysis—Harnessing Data Science for Catalyst Design

2023 publication: Rosser, D.; Farris, B. R.; Leonard, K. C., Predictive machine learning models trained on experimental datasets for electrochemical nitrogen reduction. ChemRxiv 2023, 1-10. doi:10.26434/chemrxiv-2023-x81t3

The National Science Foundation Research Traineeship has supported 36 graduate students in interdisciplinary research spanning chemistry, chemical engineering, and computer science. Former trainees Darik Rosser and Brianna Farris, of the Leonard group, recently published work on the selection of machine learning algorithms for chemistry applications. They found that more complex models are not always the best choice when analyzing chemistry datasets. They also identified potential reaction conditions to test experimentally using this machine-learning approach.

A graduate certificate in machine learning for chemistry and engineering was developed as part of the NSF NRT. The development of a graduate certificate has been an ongoing effort led by Dr. Claudia Bode (former CEBC Education Director), Tess Seuferling (former CEBC graduate student), Dr. Ana Chicas- Mosier (current CEBC Education director), and Dr. Kevin Leonard. Enrollees in the certificate program, available for Spring 2024, will gain skills in inter-disciplinary research, applied machine learning, and professional development. The certificate program will also be available for certificate-only students who are interested in continuing education in machine learning

CEBC Director, Dr. Bala Subramaniam served on the steering committee for the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research and Schmidt Futures to provide valuable insight into the future of sustainable feedstocks. The convening identified nine research themes: anaerobic digestion, biochemical process linking, data and knowledge sharing, gaseous feedstocks, niche feedstock amplification, techno-economic, life-cycle, and other modeling analyses, adaptability, regionality, and changes in starch usage. These themes could reduce the complexity and variability that can limit sustainable feedstocks, reduce cost for industrial use, and improve decision-making practice to effectively incorporate sustainable feedstocks at industry scale.

The CEBC has ongoing research and/or efforts in these identified areas of importance:

The NSF EPSCoR Renewable and Recyclable Polymers Track 2 grant is a crossdiscipline collaboration between chemical and environmental engineers to identify biocatalytic solutions to plastic degradation

A central mission of the CEBC is to collaborate with industry, academia, and national laboratories to create realistic solutions to today’s problems

The Blakemore, Leonard, and Subramaniam laboratories are finding solutions to repurpose carbon dioxide by using CO2-expanded electrolytes to produce valuable feedstocks

The CEBC works across sectors to gather feedback from multiple stakeholders and identify realistic solutions that fit the specific needs of industry and growers

Techno-Economic, Life-Cycle, and Other modeling improve understanding of the long-term impacts of new technologies. This is a major focus of the Subramaniam laboratory and the NSF EPSCoR Renewable and Recyclable Polymers Track 2 grant. The CEBC collaborates with external partners across disciplines to estimate the economic and social implications of sustainable chemistry techniques.

Adaptable reactors that can be changed to fit the needs of many different experiments. The CEBC cross-utilizes equipment between different departments and collaborative partners. This reduces the overall cost and increases knowledge transfer.

Kansas is the 6th greatest producer of corn and 4th greatest producer of wind energy in the United States. These local resources are integral to the CEBC’s success in developing a more sustainable future.

Improved understanding of lignocellulosic feedstocks such as corn cobs and stover may create pathways to increase the value of agricultural yield, with no impact on needed food supplies, and allow for reallocation of other resources

In October, CEBC and the School of Engineering participated in a KU Endowment fundraising kick-off event, “Ever Onward.” Researchers and staff manned a table on the front lawn of the Jayhawk Welcome Center, where they greeted invited attendees and KU funding donors. The event included 16 different categories, representing most of the major areas of KU education and research. CEBC and School of Engineering were part of “Exploring solutions for people and the environment.” CEBC representative Dr. Sandip Singh demonstrated the process to extract lignin for making non-toxic resins. Faculty members Kevin Leonard and Bala Subramaniam chatted with attendees about the Center’s sustainability initiatives. Even Big Jay stopped by to learn about renewable feedstocks for chemicals and fuels, sustainable plastics upcycling, and CEBC’s newest research project on recycling solar panels.

The CEBC and Kansas Corn Commission collaborated to bring alumni from the highly successful Research Experiences for Teachers program back to CEBC for a special program in August 2023. The group toured the CEBC and learned how to make plastics from corn starch. Their take-aways will help them develop curricula for their home classrooms around the importance of sustainable plastics. Former CEBC Education Director, Claudia Bode, was co principal investigator for NSF RET programs between 2009-2022.

CEBC Education, Outreach & DEIB Director, Dr. Ana Chicas-Mosier led a group of CEBC postdocs and graduate students in demonstrating sustainable plastics at the annual KU Carnival of Chemistry. More than 400 children and their families attended the November event. They learned how corn can be used as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics, while making their own corn plastics with the CEBC volunteers.

Throughout the year, CEBC Education, Outreach and DEIB Director Dr. Ana Chicas-Mosier schedules events to share the messages of green chemistry, sustainability, equity, inlcusion and belonging. Audiences vary from K-12 students and teachers to community activists to college students. Some events are planned and executed by CEBC graduate students, who gain teaching experience in the process. CEBC postdoctoral researchers take an active role, as well. The experiences help them communicate their research experience to a variety of audiences. And everyone gains from serving diverse communities in the Lawrence region.

CEBC graduate student, Darik Rosser (pictured above, far right, setting up experiments) and CEBC Education Director, Ana Chicas- Mosier led monthly science afternoons with the Lawrence Housing Authority’s Full Circle Youth Program. The group made Nylon 6-10 “spider webs”, explored the signs of a chemical reaction with a “potion mixing experiment”, electroplated coins, played with non- Newtonian fluids, and made corn plastics. Youth program manager Aspen Davidson expressed that the participants were “enthralled”. This program will continue into 2024 on a monthly basis.

CEBC post-doctoral researchers and KU Chemistry Club undergraduate students volunteered at Kansas City Kansas Public Library for the Colors of Science event. Colors of Science activities included CO2 phases, food-based dyes and spectrophotometric analysis, elephant toothpaste, magnetic slime, ultra-violet beads, and emission lines of noble gasses. This event was co-hosted by KU Department of Chemistry, Urban TEC, and the CEBC.

CEBC graduate student, Darik Rosser, led Big Science Day in collaboration with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lawrence. Six pairs of youth and their ‘’Bigs” participated in several introductory chemistry experiments in KU Chemical and Petroleum Engineering laboratories. The experiments included an iodine clock, elephant toothpaste, crystallization of borax, formulating non-Newtonian fluids, and water electrolysis. Darik also demonstrated the key identifiers of a chemical reaction through combustion of a mixture of baking soda and sugar. The children and adults expressed that these experiments were exciting and new!
