Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained extensive attention in the field of solar photovoltaic technology over the past few years. Despite being a remarkable alternative to fossil fuels, solar cells may have detrimental effects on the environment and human health owing to the use of toxic materials during manufacturing.
Toxicants like Pb in lead-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) may become available to humans through leaching and transport through water, air, and soil. Here, we summarize the potential toxicity of different substances in PSCs and determine the leaching concentration of typical heavy metals used in PSCs through dynamic leaching tests (DLTs).
Perovskite solar cells may bring an enormous advance in our way toward net zero carbon. However, to achieve their full sustainability potential, we must address the risks to soil, ecology, and human health associated with the use of toxic lead in perovskite technology.
In China, the threshold for hazardous waste identification of Pb is 5 mg/L and the limit for primary drinking water is 0.005 mg/L. In addition, Pb-based perovskite solar cells have poor stability and easily deteriorate in the air.
A perovskite solar cell (PSC) is a type of solar cell that includes a perovskite structured compound, most commonly a hybrid organic–inorganic lead (Pb)-based material, as the light-harvesting active layer 1, 2.
Read on to learn about perovskite solar technology and how it is already bringing a major shift in solar technology. Perovskites are versatile materials known for their exceptional compositional flexibility, making them suitable for various high-tech applications beyond solar cells, such as memory chips and ultrasound machines.
