“…Also, the radiation tolerance of regular PSCs with a structure of glass/ITO/SnO 2 /Perovskite/Spiro‐OMeTAD/Ag under gamma rays with dose rate of 100, 200, and 500 krad s −1 were investigated. [ 78 ] The experimental results showed that the most vulnerable parts of radiated PSCs were the glass substrate and perovskite layer, which were mainly attributed to the phase transition of perovskite films and the color appearance of the glass substrate induced by the radiation, deteriorating the perovskite film absorbance, and the substrate transmittance.…”

The general chemical formula of metal halide perovskite is ABX 3 , where A is a monovalent cation (such as FA + [ formamidinium], MA + [methylammonium], or Cs + ), B is a divalent metal cation (such as Pb 2+ , Sn 2+ , or Ge 2+ ), and X is a monovalent halogen anion (such as I − , Br − , or Cl − ). [9] Photovoltaic devices based on perovskite absorbers have achieved a certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.5% [10] in single-junction devices and obtained a PCE above 26.7% [11] in tandem devices, in which the best PCE is comparable to those of some commercially available products on the photovoltaic market, such as crystalline silicon (HIT, champion PCE of 26.7%), cadmium telluride (CdTe, champion PCE of 22.1%), gallium arsenide (GaAs, champion PCE of 27.8%), and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS, champion PCE of 23.4%) solar cells. In particular, only sub-micron-thick absorber is needed in perovskite solar cells because of perovskite's high optical absorption coefficient of about 10 4 cm −1 , [12] therefore high specific power is expected. Combined with the low-temperature solution processability and radiation resistance, [13] these features render PSCs as a Metal halide perovskites have aroused burgeoning interest in the field of photovoltaics owing to their versatile optoelectronic properties. The outstanding power conversion efficiency, high specific power (i.e., power to weight ratio), compatibility with flexible substrates, and excellent radiation resistance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) enable them to be a promising candidate for next-generation space photovoltaic technology. Nevertheless, compared with other practical space photovoltaics, such as silicon and III-V multi-junction compound solar cells, the research on PSCs for space applications is just in the infancy stage. Therefore, there are considerable interests in further strengthening relevant research from the perspective of both mechanism and technology. Consequently, the approaches used for and the consequences of PSCs for space applications are reviewed. This review provides an overview of recent progress in PSCs for space applications in terms of performance evolution and mechanism exploration of perovskite films and devices under space extreme environments.

“…Using quartz as the substrate material, the performance of the device, such as short-circuit current (J SC ), open circuit voltage (V OC ) and EQE, did not decrease under electron radiation. Since then, a number of experiments have been carried out to examine the tolerance of PSC to various space irradiation, such as electron, 186 proton, 187,188 γ-ray irradiations, 189,190 and neutron 191 . Yan et al 186 reported excellent tolerance of perovskite solar cells under electron irradiation.…”

“…[10] The radiation hardness of perovskite solar cells has been little investigated and is the subject of a few publications only. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In 2018, Miyasaka et al studied the radiation tolerance of perovskite solar cells composed of a mesoporous TiO 2 electron transport layer (ETL) and P3HT holes transport layer (HTL) to 1 MeV electrons and 50 keV protons and found that cells can survive to accumulated dose of 10 16 electrons cm À2 and 10 15 protons cm À2 , respectively. [14] For this study, P3HT was chosen as an HTL for its better thermal resistance compared with Spiro-OMeTAD, which is known to degrade at 80-100 C. P3HT showed robust radiation stability, but the power conversion efficiency (PCE) was rather low (4-5%) compared with state-of-the-art perovskite solar cells with Spiro-OMeTAD HTL (>20%).…”

“…For example, although GaAs solar cells are the most prominent solar technology used in space due to their high efficiency, they are particularly sensitive to radiation and can undergo >80% decrease in output power after irradiation with 150 keV protons at 10 12 particles cm −2 fluence or with 1 MeV protons at 10 13 particles cm −2 fluence .

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained increasing interest for space applications. However, before they can be deployed into space, their resistance to ionizing radiations, such as high-energy protons, must be demonstrated. Herein, the effect of 150 keV protons on the performance of PSCs based on aluminumdoped zinc oxide (AZO) transparent conducting oxide (TCO) is investigated. A record power conversion efficiency of 15% and 13.6% is obtained for cells based on AZO under AM1.5G and AM0 illumination, respectively. It is demonstrated that PSCs can withstand proton irradiation up to 10 13 protons cm À2 without significant loss in efficiency. From 10 14 protons cm À2 , a decrease in short-circuit current of PSCs is observed, which is consistent with interfacial degradation due to deterioration of the Spiro-OMeTAD holes transport layer during proton irradiation. The structural and optical properties of perovskite remain intact up to high fluence levels. Although shallow trap states are induced by proton irradiation in perovskite bulk at low fluence levels, charges are released efficiently and are not detrimental to the cell's performance. This work highlights the potential of PSCs based on AZO TCO to be used for space applications and gives a deeper understanding of interfacial degradation due to proton irradiation.
