The use of perovskite to create self-healing solar panels could be revolutionary for future satellite launches.
Previously, perovskite has been used to create standard silicon solar cells with increased efficiency. As such, its promise is two-fold, especially if it does indeed have some self-healing capabilities. The team detailed the new solar panels in a study published inThis material has long been hailed for its “special” qualities, though it is important to note that no commercial items have been made available that utilize it heavily.
The belief is that the degradation caused by radiation in space could be reversed by using a heat treatment on the perovskite solar cells while in the vacuum of space. However, at the moment, the only tests we have to go off of are the miniature tests done using a microprobe that mimicked the proton radiation exposure solar cells typically undergo.
The results are exciting, to be sure, but it will remain to be seen if perovskite solar cells are the basis of self-healing,
