摘要

A motivation for replacing the current CdS buffer layer in CIGS PV is to avoid potentialenvironmental- and human- health risks related to cadmium compounds. However, to gain a full perspective, suchrisks should be evaluated throughout the entire life cycle of the CdS, and also of alternative buffer layers. Basedon data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Global Solar Energy, we examined the life-cycle Cdemissions during materials production and the deposition processes for CdS and ZnS buffers. We found that the Cdemissions from the buffer layers are minimal compared to the upstream emissions from fossil-fuel-based electricitythat the electricity generated from CIGS PV will replace. Accordingly, assuring a higher efficiency of CIGS PV isthe best strategy to minimize Cd emissions to the environment In addition, the production of ZnS (and InS) entailssome Cd emissions as Cd is present in Zn ores. Based on the current efficiencies of alternative cell designs,CIGS/CdS will create a smaller amount of net Cd emissions than the CIGS/ZnS or CIGS/InS-based alternatives.
