Life cycle assessment of recycling strategies for perovskite photovoltaic modules
@article{Tian2021LifeCA, title={Life cycle assessment of recycling strategies for perovskite photovoltaic modules}, author={Xueyu Tian and Samuel D. Stranks and Fengqi You}, journal={Nature Sustainability}, year={2021}, volume={4}, pages={821 - 829} }
Effective recycling of spent perovskite solar modules will further reduce the energy requirements and environmental consequences of their production and deployment, thus facilitating their sustainable development. Here, through ‘cradle-to-grave’ life cycle assessments of a variety of perovskite solar cell architectures, we report that substrates with conducting oxides and energy-intensive heating processes are the largest contributors to primary energy consumption, global warming potential and…
