Advancements in radiation resistance and reinforcement strategies of perovskite solar cells in space applications

Abstract

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) hold great promise for space photovoltaics (PV) due to their impressive PV performance, excellent power-to-weight ratio, and cost-effectiveness. However, the environment in space presents numerous challenges for solar cells, especially cosmic radiation. PSCs have shown remarkable resistance to various forms of radiation, such as electrons, protons, ultraviolet, and γ-rays. Nevertheless, their stability in space applications still lags behind that of crystalline silicon (c-Si) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) cells. To facilitate the application of PSCs in space, it is vital to enhance their long-term stability. This mini-review examines the radiation resistance of PSCs, explores the mechanisms behind radiation-induced damage, and proposes potential strategies to bolster their resistance to radiation and reinforce overall stability.
