Review on Perovskite Solar Cells: From Single‐Junction Devices to Tandem Deployment in Space

ABSTRACT Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as a transformative photovoltaic technology, offering high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and the potential for cost‐effective manufacturing. However, stability and large‐scale manufacturing remain critical challenges that must be addressed for widespread adoption. This review provides a roadmap from single‐junction perovskite solar cells to tandem deployment in space. First, material‐level innovations are discussed, including mixed‐cation and low‐dimensional perovskites, transport materials, and additives that improve thermal and structural stability while enhancing efficiency. Then, we examine both established industrial standards and emerging scientific protocols aimed at stabilizing PSCs under operational conditions, including tandem cell integration strategies and encapsulation techniques to mitigate performance degradation. Manufacturing scalability is a focal point, where deposition methods and green solvents are explored to improve large‐area film uniformity and reduce environmental impact. Additionally, the increasing viability of PSCs in extraterrestrial environments is assessed, with emphasis on their performance in space applications, radiation resistance, and flexible lamination methods for deployment in extreme conditions. Progress across materials innovation, device architectures, stability testing protocols, and both terrestrial and extraterrestrial applications collectively drives perovskite photovoltaics toward higher efficiency, stability, and cost‐effectiveness.
