Using Life Cycle Assessment to Improve the Sustainability of Laboratory Synthesis of Chalcogenide Nanoparticles for Thin Film Photovoltaics

A life cycle assessment (LCA) is conducted to investigate the sustainability of a laboratory scale process to synthesise Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) nanoparticles at two different synthesis volumes. This process is the first stage in the fabrication of the light absorbing layer of a Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSS...
