DOI 10.1002/cptc.202400337
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract Current research on perovskite solar cells (PSCs) predominantly targets terrestrial applications, with limited studies in extreme environments. Deploying PSCs in space and underwater necessitates meeting stringent performance and stability criteria. For space, PSCs must withstand high radiation and temperature extremes, while underwater, light intensity attenuation, spectrum changes, and varying water quality can degrade PSCs performance. Inspiringly, PSCs offer several advantages, including being lightweight, cost‐effective, easy to manufacture, and having adjustable bandgaps. These features make them more promising for applications in extreme conditions versus other photovoltaic (PV) devices. To further advance research on PSCs in extreme environments, this concept briefly describes the background of PSC applications in extreme conditions, summarizes the environmental characteristics and their impacts on the devices in both space and underwater settings, and comprehensively reviews the latest advancements in these fields. Finally, potential strategies for ensuring the long‐term stable operation of PSCs under extreme stressors are proposed.
