Human exploration of the Moon is associated with substantial risks to astronauts from space radiation. On the surface of the Moon, this consists of the chronic exposure to galactic cosmic rays and sporadic solar particle events. The interaction of this radiation field with the lunar soil leads to a third component that consists of neutral particles, i.e., neutrons and gamma radiation. The Lunar Lander Neutrons and Dosimetry experiment aboard China’s Chang’E 4 lander has made the first ever measurements of the radiation exposure to both charged and neutral particles on the lunar surface. We measured an average total absorbed dose rate in silicon of 13.2 ± 1 μGy/hour and a neutral particle dose rate of 3.1 ± 0.5 μGy/hour.
All‐perovskite tandem solar cells are promising for breaking through the single‐junction Shockley–Queisser limit, and that potentially raises interest in configuring efficient Sn‐Pb alloyed narrow‐bandgap perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the Sn‐Pb alloyed perovskites are commonly plagued by uncontrollable crystallization dynamics and severe p‐doping levels. Herein, an effective additive molecule is designed with heterovalent substitution and antioxidant functions, whereby an organic metal coordination compound of tris(2,4‐pentanedionato)gallium (TPGa) is employed to upgrade the quality of perovskite films. Ga3+ substitution obviously boosts the formation energy of Sn vacancies and heals the trap states. Meanwhile, the crystal structure evolution process is improved by the anchoring effect of 2,4‐pentanedionato. The PSCs incorporating these improvements deliver not only a power conversion efficiency of 21.5% but also outstanding stability, as demonstrated by retaining 80% of the initial efficiency for over 1500 h. In addition, 23.14%‐efficient all‐perovskite tandem solar cells are further obtained by pairing this PSC with a wide‐bandgap (1.74 eV) top cell. This study supports the feasibility of doping trivalent ions into the Sn‐Pb alloyed perovskites to compromise the self‐p‐doping effect and highlights the importance of acetylacetone for passivating defects and hindering oxidation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
