The development of perovskite solar cell technology is steadily increasing. The extremely high photoconversion efficiency drives factor that makes these devices so attractive for photovoltaic energy production. However, the environmental impact of this technology could represent a crucial matter for industrial development, and the sustainability of perovskite solar cell is at the center of the scientific debate. The life cycle assessment studies available in the literature evaluate the environmental profile of this technology, but the outcomes vary consistently depending on the methodological choices and assumptions made by authors. In this work, we performed the harmonization of these life cycle assessment results to understand which are effectively the environmental hotspots of the perovskite solar cell fabrication. The outcomes of this analysis allowed us to outline an environmental ranking of the profiles of the several cell configurations investigated and, most importantly, to identify the material and energy flows that mostly contribute to the technology in terms of environmental impact.

In recent years, tremendous research interest has been devoted to organic–inorganic halide perovskites because of their excellent optical and electrical properties, which make them intriguing photovoltaic materials. The recorded efficiency of Pb‐based halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has gone beyond 24%, thus fulfilling their potential for industrialization. The photovoltaic performance of PSCs is predominantly determined by the quality of the perovskite film, which in turn, is controlled by the fabrication process. Therefore, a comprehensive and in‐depth understanding of fundamental polycrystalline perovskite film formation is imperative for further development of PSC manufacturing. This review summarizes recent advances in the field of PSCs and mainly reviews the fundamental knowledge of nucleation and growth during perovskite crystallization from solution processing methods and promising small area and large‐scale solution manufacturing methods combined with their properties and relevant PSC performance. A brief overview of stabilization strategies and cost discussion is then presented. Finally, the challenges and outlooks of PSC development for upcoming photovoltaic technology for industrial application are discussed.
