While most efforts in the field of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are focused in the material science development of more efficient and stable devices, recombination mechanisms and other several aspects behind the physical working principle of these devises are still unclear. Reason for that is due to the various anomalous comportment preventing standard characterizations such as the hysteresis in the current-voltage curve and related transient behaviors associated with ionic mechanisms. In this work a reliable analysis of recombination mechanism is presented based on the determination of the resistive response via impedance spectroscopy, free of hysteretic influences, on a wide set of devices using different perovskite absorbers (3D perovskites layer based on CH3NH3PbI3 or mixed Cs0.1FA0.74MA0.13PbI2.48Br0.39) and a variety of interlayers (2D perovskite thin capping). In addition, normal and inverted hysteresis are explored and modeled showing limit cases on ionic-affected recombination patterns. Our work identifies common features in the carrier recombination mechanisms among different types of high-efficiency PSCs, and simultaneously signals particularities on specific architectures, mostly in the carrier dynamics at outer interfaces.
