Demonstrates stability of quasi-2D perovskite solar cells in low Earth orbit, suggesting viability for space photovoltaics.
Perovskite Solar Cells in Low Earth Orbit In the Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202520433), Christoph Putz, Martin Kaltenbrunner, and co-workers demonstrate rigid quasi-2D perovskite solar cells delivering stable power for over 100 days under real space conditions. Correlated in-orbit data and extensive ground-based thermal and proton-irradiation studies reveal high intrinsic radiation tolerance, substrate-driven losses, and key challenges toward lightweight perovskite space photovoltaics. The illustration depicts a perovskite-structured satellite in low Earth orbit, symbolizing the deployment of quasi-2D perovskite solar cells for space-based power generation.
