For new technologies, such as perovskite solar cells (PSC), life cycle analysis (LCA) offers a fundamental framework for examining potential environmental, energy and health impacts and mitigation options before large-scale commercialization and for guiding improvements in development and production that further reduce their environmental footprint. However, credible LCA studies require actual process-based material, energy and emissions data, which may not exist before the technologies are commercially produced. Thus, the perovskite LCA literature is based on linear extrapolations of laboratory data. In this paper we critically reviewed the PSC LCA literature, explain the reasoning for a wide divergence of results, and determined which data apply to scalable industrial production, materials and processes. Our investigation probed into the formulation of each layer of a PSC device, and its potential for industrial scale fabrication. We found that electricity use is the main cont...

单结和串联钙钛矿PV的生命周期对环境的影响：严格的审查和未来的前景。

对于钙钛矿太阳能电池（PSC）等新技术，生命周期分析（LCA）提供了一个基本框架，可用于在大规模商业化之前检查潜在的环境，能源和健康影响以及缓解方案，并指导开发和生产的改进，从而进一步减少他们的环境足迹。但是，可靠的LCA研究需要基于过程的实际材料，能量和排放数据，而这些数据在商业生产之前可能不存在。因此，钙钛矿LCA文献是基于实验室数据的线性外推法。在本文中，我们严格审查了PSC LCA文献，解释了结果差异很大的原因，并确定了哪些数据适用于可扩展的工业生产，材料和过程。我们的调查探究了PSC器件每一层的配方及其在工业规模制造中的潜力。我们发现用电是主要的竞争优势。
