An across–species comparison of the sensitivity of different organisms to Pb– based perovskites used in solar cells

Original language description

Organic–inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are promising candidates as photovoltaic cells. Recently, they have attracted significant attention due to certified power conversion efficiencies exceeding 23%, low–cost engineering, and superior electrical/optical characteristics. These PSCs extensively utilize a perovskite–structured composite with a hybrid of Pb–based nanomaterials. Operation of them may cause the release of Pb–based nanoparticles. However, limited information is available regarding the potential toxicity of Pb–based PSCs on various organisms. This study conducted a battery of in vitro and in vivo toxicity bioassays for three quintessential Pb–based PSCs (CH3NH3PbI3, NHCHNH3PbBr3, and CH3NH3PbBr3) using progressively more complex forms of life. For all species tested, the three different perovskites had comparable toxicities. The viability of Caco–2/TC7 cells was lower than that of A549 cells in response to Pb–based PSC exposure. Concentration–dependent toxicity was observed for the bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri, for soil bacterial communities, and for the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Neither of the tested Pb–based PSCs particles had apparent toxicity to Pseudomonas putida. Among all tested organisms, V. fischeri showed the highest sensitivity with EC50 values (30 min of exposure) ranging from 1.45 to 2.91 mg L-1. Therefore, this study recommends that V. fischeri should be preferably utilized to assess
