text: " In times of climate change and dwindling fossil resources,
the need for sustainable renewable energy technologies gains importance, increasingly
fast. However, the state of the art technologies are energy intensive in their
production, like monocrystalline photovoltaic, or even consist of not recyclable
composite material, in the case of wind turbine blades. Despite a lack in efficiency
and stability, dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have a high potential to supplement
the state of the art green energy technology in future. With low production costs
and no necessity for toxic compounds DSSCs are a potential product, which could
circulate in the loops of a circular economy. Therefore, with this paper, we provide
the status of research on DSSC recycling and an outlook on how recycling streams
could be realized in the future for glass-based DSSCs without toxic components.
The overview includes work on using recycled material to build DSSCs and extending
the life of a DSSC, e.g., through rehydration. We also illustrate the state of
sustainability research for DSSCs using the VOSviewer tool. To date, the term
sustainability appears in 35 of 24,441 publications on DSSCs. In view of the global
challenges, sustainability should be researched more seriously because it is as
important as the efficiency and stability of DSSCs.\r\n "
