Graphene-based flexible perovskite solar cells for space applications

Project description

Optimising architectures of graphene-based perovskite solar cells for use in space

Space missions rely on solar cells to generate electricity and store energy. Space solar cells must be able to endure harsh conditions. There is demand for improved solar cells that are efficient, durable and structurally stable. Recent interest has turned to 2D materials such as graphene. With support from the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the GPSpace project will explore the use of graphene-based materials in solar cells for space applications to validate and optimise the long-term stability of device architectures against severe space conditions. It will assess the performance of graphene nanomaterials as electrodes and as interfacial layers. GPSpace will facilitate the development of lightweight solar cell architectures with high power efficiency.

Objective

The GPSpace project will address the use of graphene-based materials in solar cells for space applications, aiming to improve the stability of device architectures against the harsh environment in space. This research will evaluate the performance of graphene nanomaterials as electrodes and as interfacial layers regarding ultraviolet (UV) stability of metal halide perovskite solar cells under high vacuum. Additionally, this approach will contribute to the development of lightweight solar cells architectures with high specific power (EPw).
