During, the past two decades, great advances have been made in understanding the ultrafast and slow charge transfer dynamics and transport to develop efficient light-to-electricity conversion devices. In the last two years, perovskite-based solar cells have attracted a lot of interest of the scientific community. Getting the time scale of electron and hole formations, electron and hole injection, relaxation, transport, recombination and their quantum yields are of great importance for further optimization of the devices. Recent interest and effort to understand and develop these devices leads to study of their spectral and dynamical features. In this contribution, we will show and discuss recent results of using femto to millisecondsecond pump-probe absorption spectroscopy in the visible-near-IR spectral range to interrogate the absorptions and related dynamics of the generated charge carriers within the used layers in the cell. We will discuss the relevance of these new data to the working scheme of perovskite-based solar.
