Polymer- and carbon-based electrodes for polymer solar cells: Toward low-cost, continuous fabrication over large area (2012, background): “They have been evaluated [59,60] to be responsible for more than 50% of the materials energy content and almost 45% of the energetic cost associated to the lab-scale process of fabrication, causing the increase of the energy payback time of the final device beyond competitive values (Fig.”
Perovskite solar cells: An integrated hybrid lifecycle assessment and review in comparison with other photovoltaic technologies (2017, background): “to their prospects for low cost active layer materials, low-cost substrates, low energy input and the ease of up-scaling to the industrial level [10].”
Business, market and intellectual property analysis of polymer solar cells (2010, background): “is also problematic to compare the unit cost of electricity produced by a technology that is not stable in the long term perspective and from this point of view life cycle analysis is extremely important [61,62].”
