Evaluation of Hybrid Perovskite Prototypes After 10‐Month Space Flight on the International Space Station (Adv. Energy Mater. 19/2023)

Abstract

Aerospace In article number 2203920, Lyndsey McMillon-Brown, Sayanatani Ghosh, and co-workers report on the first long duration space flight of a metal halide perovskite photoactive layer on the International Space Station. Post-flight analysis reveals that samples exhibit superior photo-stability, no irreversible radiation damage, and a suppressed structural phase transition temperature, broadening the photovoltaic operational range. These results confirm that perovskite photovoltaics can be designed to endure the space environment.
