| Abstract |
To achieve zero carbon emission in 2030, developing renewable energy becomes one of the main goals of National key development. Among the renewable energies, photovoltaics (PV) can generate power by converting solar energy into electricity directly, and it can thus reduce the reliability of fossil fuels and reduce carbon emission. In addition to the commercially available silicon solar cells, Perovskite solar cell is a promising emerging photovoltaic technology which is going to scale up in near future. However, the leakage of Pb2+ from the broken perovskite solar panel shows its risk of contaminating environments, e.g. water and soil, that can affect ecosystems and human health. Therefore, understanding the effects of perovskite on the environment is the first step in realizing how to produce, operate and recycle perovskite solar cells. This project aims to identify the leaked Pb compounds from high-performance perovskite, as well as to analyze the environmental mobility and bioavailability of these compounds in water and soil. We will also develop low lead-contained perovskite solar cells and a lead capture technology to minimize the ecotoxicology effects of perovskite. |
