Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are emerging as a particularly promising technology to enhance the world’s renewable energy generation capacity. As PSCs are transitioning from research to industrial-scale production, there is an important opportunity to establish sustainable manufacturing pathways. Here, we present a closed-loop framework for the development of environmentally sustainable PSCs and highlight strategies to achieve this vision. First, we analyse the sourcing of raw materials and compare two established PSC fabrication techniques, vapour-phase deposition and solution processing, evaluating their respective advantages and limitations in terms of economic feasibility and environmental impact. Second, we examine solution processing methods, focusing on solvent system design for the preparation of high-quality perovskite films and on the use of non-hazardous or less-hazardous solvents. Third, we examine potential lead-release concerns during PSC operation and discuss approaches to minimize associated environmental risks. Fourth, we summarize effective recycling methods for main PSC components to support a circular production model. Finally, we identify key challenges and outline future research directions to achieve fully sustainable, closed-loop PSC technologies. The transition of perovskite solar cells from laboratory research to industrial-scale production creates an important opportunity to prioritize sustainability. This Review introduces a closed-loop framework, addressing material sourcing, fabrication methods, solvent design, lead-risk mitigation, recycling strategies and future directions.

Organic thermoelectric materials are transitioning from laboratory prototypes towards practical devices and could potentially surpass the performance of their inorganic counterparts near room temperature. Research priorities include probing the thermoelectric conversion limit of soft materials, designing organic thermoelectrics for precise temperature control and exploring applications beyond conventional power generation.
