Scientists from the Skoltech Center for Energy Science and Technology, the Institute for Problems of Chemical Physics of RAS, and the Department of Chemistry of MSU have presented solar cells based on conjugated polymers and fullerene derivatives that demonstrate record-high radiation stability and withstand gamma radiation of > 6,000 Gy, raising hopes for their stable operation in near-earth orbit over 10 years or even longer. The results of the study were published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
