氧化铟锡作为太阳能电池中的透明电极，由于使用稀缺金属而呈现出瓶颈。石墨烯透明电极（GTE）为第三代太阳能电池开辟了一条可持续发展路线。这项工作通过生命周期评估研究了柔性有机太阳能电池和具有 GTE 的钙钛矿太阳能电池的环境性能。开发了太阳能电池的制造工艺，包括GTE的详细生产程序。为两种太阳能电池提供了综合生命周期清单（LCI）。根据 LCI 的说法，进行生命周期影响评估是为了揭示其整个生命周期中的各种影响类别。使用蒙特卡罗方法进行敏感性分析，以量化最终环境影响的不确定性。结果证明，具有 GTE 的钙钛矿太阳能电池具有最短的能量回收时间。应追求两种太阳能电池的使用寿命更长，以满足可持续制造的要求。(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Indium Tin Oxide as the transparent electrode in solar cells has shown a bottleneck due to the use of scarce mental. The graphene transparent electrode (GTE) opens a sustainable route for third-generation solar cells. This work investigates the environmental performance of flexible organic solar cells and perovskite solar cells with GTEs by life cycle assessment. The manufacturing process of solar cells is developed including detailed production procedures of GTEs. The comprehensive life cycle inventories (LCIs) are provided for two kinds of solar cells. According to LCIs, life cycle impact assessment is carried on to unmask various impact categories in their full life cycles. Sensitivity analyses using the Monte Carlo method are conducted to quantify the uncertainty of final environmental impacts. The results prove that perovskite solar cells with GTEs have the shortest Energy Payback Time. A longer lifespan of both solar cells should be pursued to meet the requirement of sustainable manufacture.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
