This invention provides a method for recovering valuable material from perovskite solar cell, which comprises the following steps of (a) soaking a perovskite solar cell plate into an organic solvent for dissolving Cs+, Pb2+, Br-, and I- from an absorbing layer thereof; (b) adding an oxidant into the organic solvent to form a mixing solution for oxidizing the I- into I2; (c) heating the mixing solution until dry up to form a solid residue containing Cs+, Pb2+, and Br- and sublimating and recovering the I2 from the mixing solution, simultaneously; (d) dissolving the I2 into DI water to from a recycled I2 solution; (e) rinsing the solid residue containing Cs+, Pb2+, and Br- by DI water so as to obtain a Pb(OH)2 and a liquid phase containing Cs+, Pb2+, and Br-; (f) calcining the Pb(OH)2 into PbO, or dissolving the Pb(OH) into HNO3 solution and then mixing with the recycled I2 solution so as to precipitate PbI2; (g) mixing the liquid phase containing Cs+, Pb2+, and Br- with 4-tert-butyl-2-(α-methylbenzyl)-phenol (t-BAMBP) that is diluted by an oil phase so as to separate into an oil phase solution containing Cs+ and an aqueous phase solution containing Pb2+, and Br-; (h) mixing the oil phase solution containing Cs+ with NH4OH solution such that strips the Cs+ into an aqueous phase solution containing Cs+; and (i) adding the recycled I2 solution into the aqueous phase solution containing Cs+ and then concentrating under reduced pressure to precipitate CsI. |
