“…Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have nowadays surpassed power conversation efficiencies (PCEs) of 25% for single junction devices, [ 1 ] wherein the inverted architecture consisting of p‐i‐n layout has been focused by pilot factories for scale‐up production. [ 2,3 ] It appears that interfacial materials employed in inverted PSCs exhibit feasibilities for upscale fabrication. [ 4–6 ] Even though, critical challenges remain hindering the performance of inverted PSCs, particularly for the nonstable interface related to the charge extraction layers.…”

Challenges remain hindering the performance and stability of inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs), particularly for the nonstable interface between lead halide perovskite and charge extraction metal oxide layer. Herein, a simple yet scalable interfacial strategy to facilitate the assemble of high‐performance inverted PSCs and scale‐up modules is reported. The hybrid interfacial layer containing self‐assembly triphenylamine and conjugated poly(arylamine) simultaneously improves the chemical stability, charge extraction, and energy level alignment of hole‐selective interface, meanwhile promoting perovskite crystallization. Consequently, the correspondent inverted PSCs and modules achieve remarkable power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 24.5% and 20.7% (aperture area of 19.4 cm2), respectively. The PSCs maintain over 80% of its initial efficiency under one‐sun equivalent illumination of 1200 h. This strategy is also effective to perovskite with various bandgaps, demonstrating the highest PCE of 19.6% for the 1.76‐eV bandgap PSCs. Overall, this work provides a simple yet scalable interfacial strategy for obtaining state‐of‐the‐art inverted PSCs and modules.

“…The superiorities of perovskite also include ambipolar carrier transportation, direct and tunable bandgap, and long carrier lifetime.

In order to solve this problem, element substitution was attempted first. We tried to use low toxicity materials such as tin, silver, and bismuth to replace lead to act as the B-site in perovskites. [72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87] Unfortunately, the performance of lead substitutes has not been satisfactory so far. For the most mainstream tin-based lead-free perovskites, the PCE and stability are still far behind lead-based PSCs. As a result, Pb is currently irreplaceable for high-performance perovskite photovoltaics.Since lead is indispensable in PSCs due to the superior efficiency and stability than other substitutes, [88] it is necessary to deeply understand and study how lead harms the human body. [89] Therefore, professional and rigorous biotoxicological analysis of lead is essential. [90] It should be emphasized that it is meaningless to talk about toxicity aside from dose. As a result, we specifically analyzed the lead area density content in mainstream perovskite solar cell panels. Then detailed analysis of the lead poisoning severity was carried out under the premise of dose determination. [91] After PSCs are degraded, it first dissolves in water or migrates into the soil and then enters the human body through different ways, resulting in lead poisoning. [92] When lead invades the body, it first enters the blood and combines with blood cells, causing the increase of blood lead concentration. [93] In 1994, the World Congress of Pediatrics has already passed that as long as the blood lead level of a child exceeds 100 µg L -1 , it is diagnosed as lead poisoning in children. If the blood lead exceeds 200 µg L -1 , it is moderate lead poisoning in adults. [94] Since blood lead concentration is an important standard to measure the degree of lead poisoning, it is necessary to limit the overall lead that it does not exceed the blood lead threshold of the user population. In summary, aiming at the toxicity of lead, we will analyze three aspects: a) lead area density content calculated in PSCs, b) lead toxicity biotoxicological analysis, and c) comprehensive evaluation.The toxicity of lead has been made clear through the biological toxicological analysis, so that lead toxicity should be paid attention to and prevented. In previous works, there have been some simple and efficient strategies to prevent or reduce lead leakage, such as resin protective layer, self-healing polymer encapsulation, and superhydrophobic surface. [95][96][97][98][99] Although these methods can inhibit the lead leakage, if there is no professional and efficient recovery strategy for perovskite Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have developed rapidly in recent years due to their excellent photoelectric properties. Among them, lead-based perovskite photovoltaics have shown great potential for both outdoor and indoor applications, whose power conversion efficiency and stability are much higher than that of lead-free PSCs. However, based on results of in vivo animal studies, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes ann...

To date, the highest certified efficiency has reached 25.7% for laboratory‐scale perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Breakthroughs in the commercialization of PSCs is achieved continuously. Therefore, the recovery of decommissioned devices that are closely related to the commercialization is extremely urgent. More importantly, lead (Pb) and other materials in PSCs are ecotoxic and biotoxic. Due to improper disposal of the decommissioned devices, serious heavy metal Pb and solid waste pollution incidents may occur. In fact, PSCs contain a great deal of recyclable and valuable materials. To achieve the goal of sustainable PSCs, recycling and reusing these useful materials are advocated. In this review, the authors retrospect structures and key materials of PSCs briefly. Benefits of recycling useful materials from the decommissioned PSCs are analyzed in terms of environmental and economic profits, including reducing the material costs, saving energy, reducing negative environmental impacts and conserving natural resources. Research progresses on recycling and reusing the useful materials are summarized and discussed from the perspectives of feasible pathways, recovery solvents, recovery effects and performance analysis of the corresponding devices. Finally, current challenges and future opportunities to prevent Pb leakage and recycle PSCs in an environmentally viable manner are proposed toward sustainable development.
