AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies cannot effectively encapsulate perovskite solar cells in orbit and cannot overcome the effects of zero gravity, making it impossible to fabricate solar cells in orbit.
A transparent encapsulation film was prepared by electro-spray printing using a mixture of silicone rubber and cerium-doped glass microspheres, and then subjected to isothermal aging and electro-spray wet activation treatment to form a UV-blocking protective layer.
This achievement enables the effective encapsulation of perovskite solar cells in orbital space, overcomes the effects of microgravity, and produces an encapsulation film with ultraviolet cutoff capability, thus solving the energy supply problem and supporting the construction of space bases.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of on-orbit manufacturing technology of space batteries, specifically relating to a method for on-orbit encapsulation of perovskite batteries and the resulting perovskite batteries. Background Technology
[0002] With increasingly frequent human exploration activities in outer space and a growing number of spacecraft in orbit, on-orbit maintenance has become a priority, including on-orbit 3D printing of various repair tools, nuts, and other structural components. Energy systems are crucial for spacecraft, and solar cells are the primary form of power generation in space. In-situ on-orbit manufacturing of solar cells will fundamentally solve the energy supply problem for spacecraft, enabling the construction of space bases. Electro-injection printing of perovskite cells can overcome the effects of zero gravity, enabling on-orbit fabrication of solar cells. However, solar cells require encapsulation and protection during use, typically using glass covers. Existing technology CN117897019A describes a perovskite cell encapsulation method using quartz glass and thermosetting epoxy resin. This invention involves encapsulation on the ground, not on-orbit manufacturing, and therefore cannot overcome the effects of zero gravity. Summary of the Invention

[0007] (3) Perform constant temperature aging treatment on the printed encapsulation film;
[0008] (4) The encapsulation film after aging is activated by electro-spraying wet method to improve the UV cutoff capability.
[0009] The glass microspheres are cerium-doped glass microspheres with a diameter of 0.03 mm to 0.05 mm.
[0010] The silicone rubber used in the space is a room temperature curing RTV.
[0011] The space is prepared by mixing silicone rubber and glass microspheres at a mass ratio of 2:8, and then uniformly mixing them for 5 to 10 minutes using a stirrer.
[0012] The aging process involves heating the printed transparent encapsulation film to a constant temperature of 80°C for 2 hours.
[0013] The electro-spray wet activation process involves electro-spraying siloxane for wet activation, forming a UV-blocking protective layer on the surface.
