“…This perovskite layer is sandwiched between the electron transport layer (ETL) and the hole transport layer (HTL). [8][9][10] Sn-PSCs with a threedimensional (3D) crystal structure have the A-cation (methyl ammonium (MA + ), formamidinium (FA + ), or cesium (Cs + )) positioned in the 8 corners of a unit cubic cell structure and the B-cation (Sn 2+ ) located in an octahedral center joined to X-halides (chloride (Cl À ), iodide (I À ) or bromide (Br À )). 11 Sn-PSCs have a low PCE compared to the possible 33% Shockley-Queisser limit (SQL).…”

“…146 Therefore, to reduce the DG(r), which facilitates nuclei formation, a decrease in DGv and increase in DGs ought to be achieved through increasing the radius of the nuclei. K B is Boltzmann's constant, T is the temperature, V is the molar volume of the nucleus, d is the surface free energy per unit area, S is the degree of super saturation in the solution, and it is calculated by eqn (8).…”

“…[ 22,73 ] Among the emerging technologies, perovskites gained huge attention because of their tunable bandgap (by engineering the chemical composition), high and panchromatic α allowing thin samples (≈500 nm) to absorb the whole solar spectrum, low cost and fabrication from liquid solutions. [ 30,74–76 ] As a result, currently lab‐scale perovskite‐based SCs show PCE = 25.5%. [ 22 ] However, such devices still suffer from stability issues mainly related to moisture and oxygen contamination, that hinder their widespread as a single‐junction PV technology.…”

Solar cells (SCs) are the most ubiquitous and reliable energy generation systems for aerospace applications. Nowadays, III–V multijunction solar cells (MJSCs) represent the standard commercial technology for powering spacecraft, thanks to their high‐power conversion efficiency and certified reliability/stability while operating in orbit. Nevertheless, spacecraft companies are still using cheaper Si‐based SCs to amortize the launching costs of satellites. Moreover, in recent years, new SCs technologies based on Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as promising candidates for aerospace power systems, because of their appealing properties such as lightweightness, flexibility, cost‐effective manufacturing, and exceptional radiation resistance. In this review the current advancements and future challenges of SCs for aerospace applications are critically discussed. In particular, for each type of SC, a description of the device's architecture, a summary of its performance, and a quantitative assessment of the radiation resistance are presented. Finally, considering the high potential that 2D‐materials (such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides) have in improving both performance and stability of SCs, a brief overview of some important results concerning the influence of radiation on both 2D materials‐based devices and monolayer of 2D materials is also included.

“…They are direct analogues of Pb-based halide perovskites with a three-dimensional crystal structure, and they also have narrower Eg values ranging from 1.2 to 2.2 eV. Among these, Sn-based halide perovskites is a particularly interesting alternative 3,4,5 . Moreover, among all the Pb-free halide perovskite materials, Sn-based halide perovskite solar cells have the greatest PCE of nearly 9% 6,7 .…”

Research of lead-free perovskite solar cells has gained speedy and growing attention with urgent intent to eliminate toxic lead in perovskite materials. The environmental friendliness and excellent thermal stability proves of stable perovskite Cesium Tin Iodide (CsSnI3) as one of the promising materials for their potential application in solar field. In this paper, fabrication and characterization of CsSnI3 perovskite layer has been reported. Fabrication of CsSnI3 perovskite layer was made by spin coating method. One step coating processed CsSnI3 layer have characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Optical properties of layer have investigated by Vis-NIR spectrophotometer. It reveals that CsSnI3 perovskite layer possess good absorption in the visible spectrum. XRD result confirms the crystal structure of orthorhombic phase with dominating peak at 27.50 (2*Θ) corresponding (202) planes. Dense distributions of polycrystalline CsSnI3 perovskite layer were recorded by FESEM images.
