Performance Highlights
- Efficiency: Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have demonstrated high efficiency under low-light conditions. For instance, a record efficiency of 40.1% was achieved in a low-light environment using a holistic trap-passivation strategy with micrometer-thick perovskite films. More recently, indoor PSCs have shown efficiencies of up to 32.0%.
- Stability and Improvements: Despite this potential, PSCs face challenges due to trap-induced nonradiative recombination, especially in low-light conditions. Techniques like surface and bulk passivation can significantly improve their performance by reducing these traps and increasing charge carrier lifetimes.
- Low-Intensity Low-Temperature Performance: Studies have shown that PSCs perform well under low-intensity low-temperature (LILT) conditions, which are relevant for deep space applications. However, efficiency decreases at very low temperatures, suggesting a need for further optimization.
Applications
- Indoor Use: Perovskite solar cells are highly efficient under low-light conditions, making them suitable for powering small devices indoors.
- Space Exploration: Their performance in low-light conditions also makes them candidates for powering spacecraft in deep space missions.
In summary, perovskite solar panels offer remarkable efficiency in low-light environments, making them versatile for various applications. However, continued research is needed to enhance stability and performance under extreme conditions.
