Abstract

Solar cells deployed in extra-terrestrial environments encounter high energy particles and ionizing radiation that compromise their stability, intensifying lattice defects. The computational examination of the radiation resistance of perovskite solar cells for their prospective utilization in extra-terrestrial environments is conducted. We simulated the (1) blackening of the glass substrate and (2) displacement defect caused by proton radiation in perovskite solar cells. The reduced transmittance of glass substrate causes short-circuit current (J_SC). To simulate the irradiation-caused defect degradation, we utilized the defect model, which replicated the experimental observation of large J_SC and small decays in open-circuit voltage (V_OC) with fluence of 1 MeV proton radiation. Simulation shows robust radiation resistance of perovskite as performance remains stable for 1 MeV proton fluence up to 10¹³ particles.cm⁻². The results derived from the simulation reinforce the applicability of perovskite in space environments.

空间应用钙钛矿太阳能电池的计算分析

部署在地外环境中的太阳能电池会遇到高能粒子和电离辐射，这会损害其稳定性，加剧晶格缺陷。对钙钛矿太阳能电池在地外环境中的应用前景进行了抗辐射性能的计算研究。我们模拟了钙钛矿太阳能电池中(1)玻璃衬底发黑和(2)质子辐射引起的位移缺陷。玻璃基板透光率降低会引起短路电流。为了模拟辐照引起的缺陷降解，我们使用了缺陷模型，该模型复制了在1 MeV质子辐射影响下开路电压（VOC）下大JSC和小衰减的实验观察。模拟结果表明，钙钛矿具有较强的抗辐射能力，在1mev质子通量高达1013个粒子。cm−2的情况下，其性能保持稳定。模拟结果增强了钙钛矿在空间环境中的适用性。

期刊介绍： he Journal of Computational Electronics brings together research on all aspects of modeling and simulation of modern electronics. This includes optical, electronic, mechanical, and quantum mechanical aspects, as well as research on the underlying mathematical algorithms and computational details. The related areas of energy conversion/storage and of molecular and biological systems, in which the thrust is on the charge transport, electronic, mechanical, and optical properties, are also covered. In particular, we encourage manuscripts dealing with device simulation; with optical and optoelectronic systems and photonics; with energy storage (e.g. batteries, fuel cells) and harvesting (e.g. photovoltaic), with simulation of circuits, VLSI layout, logic and architecture (based on, for example, CMOS devices, quantum-cellular automata, QBITs, or single-electron transistors); with electromagnetic simulations (such as microwave electronics and components); or with molecular and biological systems. However, in all these cases, the submitted manuscripts should explicitly address the electronic properties of the relevant systems, materials, or devices and/or present novel contributions to the physical models, computational strategies, or numerical algorithms.
