Life cycle assessment of lead recycling processes in perovskite solar cells
Jae Myeong Lee, Hee Jung Kim, Hyun Suk Jung
Abstract
Life cycle assessment (LCA) was employed to evaluate the environmental impacts of various lead (Pb) recycling processes in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The analysis identifies solvent recovery and reuse as critical factors in reducing environmental harm, highlighting the need for optimized recycling methods to enhance the sustainability of PSCs.
