Perovskites are a family of materials that have shown potential for high performance and low production costs in solar cells. The name “perovskite” comes from their crystal structure. These materials are utilized in other energy technologies, such as fuel cells and catalysts.
We show that for perovskite solar cells, many unique characteristics make them attractive for space applications. Further, there exist opportunities for advancements in this technology by addressing their current materials and device challenges, thereby paving their way to aerospace applications. 5.1. Introduction
