AP22685441 "Investigation of stability of perovskite materials in simulated space conditions"

Relevance

Perovskite materials show high prospects for use in solar cells, especially in extreme space conditions. However, their stability under conditions of high vacuum and low temperatures has not been studied sufficiently. The project is aimed at filling this gap and is important for the development of space technologies and materials science.

Purpose

The aim of the project is to study the stability of new crystalline structures of perovskite materials in simulated space conditions, that is, in conditions of high vacuum (P = 10-8 Torr) and low temperature (T=12K) for possible further use in space.

Expected and achieved results

Studies have been conducted to obtain a new sample using optical absorption, optical microscopy, electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, EDXS, and SEM to confirm the initial properties of the obtained material. The novelty of the project lies in the fact that, for the first time, studies of the stability of new crystalline structures of perovskite materials will be conducted under conditions of high vacuum (P = 10-8 Torr) and low temperature (T=12K) for their possible further application in space. These factors can serve as a basis for conducting comprehensive studies of the degradation processes of crystal structures of perovskite materials in various astrophysical conditions, which are simulated by an experimental setup, which will be described below. The project manager and scientific consultant has extensive experience in the application of experimental and analytical methods, in the production and study of thin films of cryocrystals.
