From the news article:

Despite superior performance, efficiency and being cheaper to manufacture, perovskite solar cells have not been commercially manufactured for the consumer market. This is because when perovskite solar cells release lead when damaged or discarded. The lead comes from the perovskite material and a compound used to make a component of the perovskite solar cell, known as the capping layer, that stabilises the solar cell.  Now, a research team led by scientists from NTU Singapore has developed a method that enables non-toxic metals to be used in the manufacture of the capping layer.

From the article: 

Researchers from ETH Zurich and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have developed a new 3D printing technique capable of producing nanoscale metal parts. 

 

Based on an electrochemical approach, the process can be used to fabricate copper objects as small as 25 nanometers in diameter. For reference, an average human hair is around 3000x thicker at 75 microns.
