“…25) to certified 22.1%. 26 Regarding the high efficiency achieved so far and proved superior radiation tolerance, 27 perovskite solar cells have also been considered as an alternative candidate for space applications, [28][29][30] which will require a better understanding of the optical and electrical properties of the devices in the vacuum condition. In addition, lots of common measurements of hybrid perovskite materials are carried out in vacuum, such as SEM, 31,32 XPS, 33,34 low temperature spectroscopy, [35][36][37] and temperature dependent electrical transport measurements.…”

The photoluminescence (PL) variations of organic-inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskites in different atmospheres are well documented, while the fundamental mechanism still lacks comprehensive understandings. This study reports the reversible optical and electrical properties of methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr3 or CH3NH3PbBr3) single crystals caused by air infiltration. With the change in the surrounding atmosphere from air to vacuum, the PL intensity of perovskite single crystals decreases, while the conductivity increases. By means of first-principles computational studies, the shallow trap states are considered as key elements in PL and conductivity changes. These results have important implications for the characterization and application of organic-inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskites in vacuum.

“…The existence of similar effects remains to be confirmed in MAPbI 3 for which solar cells are reported to exhibit radiation resistance to 1 MeV electron irradiation [6,7] or 50 keV or 68 MeV protons [6][7][8] and in other HOIPs compounds to confirm their ability to sustain space environment as active layers in photovoltaic devices.…”

“…In order to understand the perovskite defect properties, and to verify the concept of defect tolerance and self-healing associated to HOIPs [2], electron irradiation was used to introduce defects in a controlled manner in t he quadruple-cation HOIPs films. Onemegaelectronvolt electron irradiation resistance [6,7] has been reported for MAPbI 3 -based solar cells. Moreover, implantation and irradiation resistance to protons with energies ranging between 50 keV and 68 MeV in MAPbI 3 [6][7][8] and (FAMA)Pb(IBr) 3 [6] perovskite-based solar cells, respectively, has also been demonstrated.…”

Understanding the role of defects in hybrid organic inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) is critically important to engineer the stability and performance of photovoltaic devices based on HOIPs. Recent reports on multi-cation compositions of general formula (A 1 ,A 2 ,A 3 ,A 4)Pb(X 1 ,X 2 ,X 3) 3 , where the A sites can be occupied by a distribution of 2-4 metallic/ organic cations and X sites with halide anions have shown stabilization effects against the well-known methyl ammonium lead triiodide (CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3), although the underlying mechanism is not fully elucidated. Herein, polycrystalline layers of 4APb(IBr) 3 perovskite, where A is occupied by a combination of Cs + (cesium ion), GA + (guanidinium), MA + (methylammonium), and FA + (formamidinium) ions were synthesized. To gain insight on the role of intrinsic defects, electron irradiation was used for introducing point defects in a controlled way in the quadruple-cation HOIPs. Our results show that the engineered defects in perovskites strongly influenced the absorption, photoluminescence, and time-resolved photoluminescence of these materials, probably due to introduction of additional energy levels that modify electronic and light emitting properties of the material. Furthermore, the irradiation-induced defects were found to strongly affect the aging behavior of HOIPs and modify their radiative recombination properties.

“…Promising test results from perovskite-based single-junction solar cells have revealed that devices under proton irradiation retained over 90% of their initial performance even after high proton fluences of 10 12 p + /cm 2 13 and 10 14 p + /cm 2 12 with proton energies of 0.05-68 MeV. [11][12][13]25,26 However, monolithic tandem solar cells are connected in series and, hence, radiation-induced damage in just one of the sub-cells can degrade the performance of the entire tandem solar cell. Therefore, to validate these technologies, studies are required on the entire tandem systems during operation.…”

We propose and test monolithic perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cells for readily stowable, ultra-lightweight space photovoltaics. We design operando and ex situ measurements to show that perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cells retain over 85% of their initial power-conversion efficiency after high-energy proton irradiation. While the perovskite sub-cell is unaffected after this bombardment, we identify increased non-radiative recombination in the CIGS bottom cell and nickel-oxide-based recombination layer. By contrast, monolithic perovskite/silicon-heterojunction cells degrade to 1% of their initial efficiency due to radiation-induced defects in silicon.
