“…Moreover, looking at the low-temperature device performance, the hysteresis is frozen out and the intensity conditions enable efficient carrier extraction, suggesting that systems showing not excellent performance under standard test conditions could operate well in LILT environments. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning the role that two-dimensional (2D) materials (such as graphene, transition-metal dichalcogenides, and MXenes) can play in enhancing both the performance and the stability of various components (transparent conductive electrodes, charge-transporting layers, and interlayers) of next-generation heterojunction solar cells. ,− However, a deep discussion of the role played by 2D materials in PV technologies is beyond the scope of this Review, so the interested reader is encouraged to consult refs and − . In recent years, 2D materials-based devices, such as transistors, sensors, etc ., have been proposed as future technologies for space applications because of their low weight, small size, and low power requirements.…”

Perovskites have emerged as promising light harvesters in photovoltaics. The resulting solar cells (i) are thin and lightweight, (ii) can be produced through solution processes, (iii) mainly use low-cost raw materials, and (iv) can be flexible. These features make perovskite solar cells intriguing as space technologies; however, the extra-terrestrial environment can easily cause the premature failure of devices. In particular, the presence of high-energy radiation is the most dangerous factor that can damage space technologies. This Review discusses the status and perspectives of perovskite photovoltaics in space applications. The main factors used to describe the space environment are introduced, and the results concerning the radiation hardness of perovskites toward protons, electrons, neutrons, and γ-rays are presented. Emphasis is given to the physicochemical processes underlying radiation damage in such materials. Finally, the potential use of perovskite solar cells in extra-terrestrial conditions is discussed by considering the effects of the space environment on the choice of the architecture and components of the devices.

We have evaluated some of the most recent breakthroughs in the synthesis and applications of graphene and graphene-based nanomaterials. This review includes three major categories. The first section consists of an overview of the structure and properties, including thermal, optical, and electrical transport. Recent developments in the synthesis techniques are elaborated in the second section. A number of top–down strategies for the synthesis of graphene, including exfoliation and chemical reduction of graphene oxide, are discussed. A few bottom–up synthesis methods for graphene are also covered, including thermal chemical vapor deposition, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, thermal decomposition of silicon, unzipping of carbon nanotubes, and others. The final section provides the recent innovations in graphene applications and the commercial availability of graphene-based devices.

“…While studies have been published on the outdoor testing of perovskite devices, − there is no common packaging procedure or guidance for one. An effective package is necessary to decouple intrinsic cell instabilities from extrinsic environmental degradation factors that could be removed with proper packaging.…”
