Metal-halide perovskite semiconductors have received tremendous attention in research due to their excellent optoelectronic properties, making them interesting materials for solar cells and light emitting diodes (LEDs). It is fascinating that these perovskites are highly tolerant against electronic defects and at the same time show pronounced ionic conductivity mediated through mobile lattice defects.

In this talk the various effects of ion migration on device performance are described. They range from hysteresis in the current-voltage curve of solar cells, to reversible degradation during long-term operation, to phase-segregation in mixed-halide systems, to electroluminescence in LEDs that depends on the mode of operation. Key in understanding these phenomena is the interplay between ionic and electronic conductivity, where the ionic response belatedly modifies the electronic response, which is the one commonly observed in devices. This interplay has consequences on how to interpret results of common characterization techniques such as impedance spectroscopy and can also be seen in lead-free double perovskite solar cells, which conclude the talk.
