Lead Leakage of Pb-Based Perovskite Solar Cells
Source abstract
Abstract
As a novel technology, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted worldwide attention due to their high photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) and low fabricating cost. Moreover, with the development of this technology, PSCs have achieved a great breakthrough in PCE. However, the heavy metal element Pb in PSCs does harm to human health and ecological environments, which restricts the further application of Pb-based PSCs. Under certain circumstances, the leakage of lead will cause serious pollution to the environment. The purpose of this review is to summary and discuss the way of lead leakage suppression. Among them, we pay more attention to the method of packaging technology, chemisorption procession and the limitations of each method. Finally, strategies of highly PCE and non-toxic perovskite devices are proposed.
