However, the limited theoretical cooling power and strict weather condition requirements of radiative cooling, coupled with the high solar energy absorption of latent thermal energy storage, hinder their practical applications in thermal shock resistance. Here, a tandem passive cooler, combining radiative cooling and latent thermal energy storage, is presented to achieve the dual functionalities of passive cooling and thermal shock resistance. Specifically, the radiative cooling performance of this cooler is enabled by its high solar reflectivity (0.928) and high infrared emissivity (0.947), while its efficient isothermal heat release and absorption ensure temperature stability and high thermal energy storage. Consequently, by overcoming the limitations of both radiative cooling and latent heat thermal energy storage, this tandem passive cooler achieves a maximum temperature reduction of 5.37 °C and an average passive cooling temperature of 3.01 °C, enabling effective radiative cooling. Furthermore, this cooler reduces the maximum temperature of a heated silicon wafer by 27.56 °C compared to radiative cooling alone under thermal shock situations, demonstrating superior thermal shock resistance. Upon cessation of the thermal shock, the solidified latent thermal energy storage materials release their stored energy, mitigating excess heat and preventing overcooling of electronic devices, thereby ensuring the stable operation of electronic systems. This strategy offers a promising path to efficient thermal management under extreme temperature fluctuations, significantly expanding the practical applications of radiative cooling and latent thermal energy storage technologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":429,"journal":{"name":"Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells","volume":"286 ","pages":"Article 113565"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143576986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper describes reverse-bias stability testing of semi-transparent FAPbBr<sub>3</sub> perovskite solar cells. Stability against reverse-bias was extensively evaluated through both reverse-bias step-stress (RBSS) tests and constant-bias stress (CBS) tests at different voltage bias intensities. During a series of 10 ks tests, cells were revealed to be stable when operated down to −1.5 V (corresponding to approximately 20 % of the breakdown voltage threshold), whereas at −3 V the observed degradation mainly consists in a decrease in open-circuit voltage (from ∼1.5 ÷ 1.6 V to as low as 0.3 V) and parallel resistance (from ∼10<sup>8</sup> Ω to as low as ∼10<sup>2</sup> Ω), occurring after ∼100 s; a complete recovery is observed, if cells are left in resting conditions after removing the reverse-bias. The observed degradation is ascribed to a temporary shunt-like mechanism, triggered by ion and vacancy displacement and relocation, which causes a drastic energy-band distortion and internal potential compensation. Additional open-circuit voltage decay (OCVD) testing before and after stress reinforces this hypothesis.

These tests yielded photovoltaic module's parameters including ignition time and heat release rate. Analysis of the experimental results led to several conclusions. When exposed to thermal radiation, backsheet materials in single-glass modules were more prone to be ignited compared to glass plates, resulting in a broader horizontal flame spread. Double-glazed modules utilized fire-resistant glass instead of PET backsheets in single-glass modules, effectively reducing combustible content. Additionally, fire-resistant glass provided specific fire protection capabilities, making it more challenging for double-glazed modules to be ignited while also lowering total heat release post-ignition. Under similar glass material conditions, double-glazed modules exhibited superior combustion performance compared to their single-glass counterparts. Therefore, locations with high fire risks are recommended to opt for double-glazed photovoltaic modules.
