Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Guests Editors are pleased to announce the Topic entitled “Advanced Materials and Manufacturing for Extreme Environments in Energy and Aerospace”.

This Topic will spotlight cutting-edge research and technological advancements that are shaping the future of energy and aerospace materials and manufacturing processes. As the energy and aerospace industries evolve to meet the demands of next-generation energy, space exploration, aircraft, and sustainable aviation, the development of high-performance materials and innovative manufacturing techniques has become increasingly critical.

This Topic aims to bring together contributions that address these challenges through novel materials, smart manufacturing, and integrated design approaches that endure extreme environments. We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies on topics including, but not limited to the following:

  • Extreme-temperature and lightweight materials for energy and aerospace applications.
  • Advanced and additive manufacturing of components for energy systems, air vehicles, and spacecraft.
  • Materials characterization and performance under extreme conditions of temperature, corrosion, catalysis, plasma, and radiation exposure.
  • Metals, composite materials, and multifunctional structures.
  • Advanced integrated coatings and surface engineering.
  • Digital manufacturing, AI-driven process and composition control, AI-driven design, advanced materials, and Industry 4.0 in energy and aerospace.

All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure scientific excellence and relevance. Accepted papers will be published open access to maximize visibility and impact within the global research community.

Hybrid halide perovskites are promising materials for optoelectronics and space applications due to their excellent light absorption, high efficiency, and light weight. However, their stability under radiation exposure remains a key challenge, especially in space environments, where high-energy particles can cause significant damage. Here, we present the effects of primary and secondary radiation on perovskite materials, using Monte-Carlo simulations with the GEANT4 toolkit. The interactions of protons, electrons, neutrons, and γ-rays with APbI3 (A = Ma, FA, Cs) perovskites under space-relevant conditions typical for low Earth orbit (LEO) were studied. The results show that different perovskite compositions respond uniquely to radiation: CsPbI3 generates higher-energy secondary positrons, neutrons, and protons, while MAPbI3 produces more secondary electrons under proton irradiation. Mixed-cation perovskites exhibit narrower energy distributions for secondary γ-rays, indicating material-dependent differences in radiation tolerance. These findings suggest the potential role of secondary particle generation in perovskite degradation, based on our simulations, and they emphasize the need for comprehensive modeling to improve the radiation resistance of perovskite-based technologies for space applications. Future studies should consider contributions from encapsulating materials in device structures. Full article
