| Abstract | The rapid evolution of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has positioned this technology as a promising candidate in the global transition towards sustainable energy sources. As the renewable energy sector continues to gain momentum, driven by global initiatives aimed at achieving net-zero emissions, the integration of circular economy principles into the production of PSCs has become increasingly significant. In recent years, a growing body of research has been dedicated to exploring various strategies for recovering and reusing the components of perovskite photovoltaic devices. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of the current state of remanufacturing processes as they apply to PSCs, encompassing material recovery, the essential capturing and recycling of lead, and device refurbishment. Moreover, we review the available information pertaining to the environmental impact of reported remanufacturing strategies, solvent management, the introduction of greener solvents, exempt and design compatibility, all aimed at further enhancing the sustainability profile of PSCs remanufacturing. For improved sustainability, remanufacturing is a vital loop of a circular economy. We detail progress on remanufacturing strategies for perovskite solar cells and highlight key aspects that need advancement to deliver a sustainable technology. |
