Sun-Powered Recovery: The Revolutionary Self-Healing Perovskite Solar Cells

Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs) have been touted as a promising solution for powering low-cost space hardware, thanks to their lightweight structure, affordability, and high efficiency. Australian researchers have propelled this potential further, demonstrating PSCs’ unique ability to recover from radiation-induced damage in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) environments. The study, led by Professor Anita Ho-Baillie at the University of Sydney, was a multidisciplinary exploration of PSCs’ response to proton radiation exposure, a significant hurdle for solar technology in space. Unraveling the Mysteries of Radiation Resistance “We hope that the insights generated by this work will help future efforts in developing low-cost light-weight … Continue reading Sun-Powered Recovery: The Revolutionary Self-Healing Perovskite Solar Cells
