Cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment of the dry etching step in the manufacturing of photovoltaic cells

A new photovoltaic silicon crystalline solar cell dry chemical etching process (DCEP) is developed. It is an alternative to the current State-of-the-Art (SoA) wet chemical etching process (WCEP), associated with relatively large environmental loadings in the form of high water consumption and emissi...
