abstract = {Closed-loop recycling is crucial in the rapidly expanding
era of photovoltaic deployment. Yet, the recycling of
commercial silicon photovoltaic modules presents challenges
due to laborious component separation. In contrast, layers
in solution-processed solar cells can be separated with
relative ease through selective dissolution. In this study,
we report on the recovery of every layer in a planar MAPbI3
perovskite solar cell using a layer-by-layer solvent
extraction approach, followed by purification or
modification to restore quality. This method potentially
allows for up to $99.97\%$ recycled mass, thereby conserving
resources and reducing waste. We assessed material quality
by substituting each fresh material with its recycled
equivalent during solar cell production. Subsequently, solar
cells were fabricated with either several or all layers
comprising recycled materials. Every combination yielded
efficiency comparable to cells constructed exclusively with
fresh materials, demonstrating the efficacy of the developed
recycling process. Our mass and value analysis highlights
ITO glass has the highest recycling priority and the need
for circular utilization for by-product chemicals,
especially cleaning agents. Techno-economic projections
suggest that the proposed recycling procedure has the
potential to afford substantial cost savings. In the lab,
recycling could reduce material costs by up to $63.7\%,$ in
industrial manufacturing by up to $61.4\%.$ A life cycle
assessment reveals this recycling method can reduce
environmental impacts.},
