While the biggest challenges on Earth are related to weather, in space perovskites must address the problems that come from radiation bombardment and extreme temperature swings.

Key Points: 
  • While the biggest challenges on Earth are related to weather, in space perovskites must address the problems that come from radiation bombardment and extreme temperature swings.
  • Perovskites show signs of better tolerance to radiation than many other solar cells, but plenty of testing remains to be conducted.
  • Researchers last year ran simulations to demonstrate how exposure to radiation in space would affect perovskites.
  • The oxide layer also provided protection when other perovskite compositions typically more sensitive to moisture were exposed to water.
